treats for the pup


i made these yummy smelling peanut butter treats for Murphy to enjoy.
i don’t have a doggy bone cookie cutter, so i made do with carrots, hearts, and a couple of owls (he is a bird lover!)
the little guy has a sort of sensitive stomach just like me, so i have been trying to find good recipes for treats. its fun to bake these and know exactly what is going in his little belly. we buy him good quality natural food, so why skimp on the quality of treats?

this recipe came from my great aunt Sandra.
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (i used ultragrain wheat)
1 1/2 cups white flour
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (all-natural or organic)
1 cup water
2 tablespoons canola oil

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine oil, peanut butter and water. Add flour, one cup at a time, forming dough. Knead dough into firm ball and roll to 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie or biscuit cutters and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes. Makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

this is a good puppy treat site with several recipes that i'd like to test.
the only issue i discovered with these is that after a week or so the left over treats were a little moldy, even kept in an air tight container. i guess they should be kept in the refrigerator?

today is that day

it FINALLY stopped raining here last night,
after constant flash flood warnings and my ceiling leaking in my living room.

TODAY is one that day when you feel autumn. it's here.


73 degrees. all. day. long.

the breeze is strong and cool enough to turn off the AC and throw all the windows in the house open.
i want to eat granny smith apples with caramel and watch football all weekend.
its gorgeous living in the smokies in the fall.

etsy?

im thinking about creating an etsy site. i have tons of work to sell, and no current exhibits or work displayed anywhere...



my porfolios [dot] com site did not help and is now defunct. ive only recieved one email regarding a purchase, and that fell through over a year ago.
is it selling out to sell art on the web? i could use the money and the space it would free up.


reid got me this book for our anniversary. so far it has really inspired me to figure out a way to 'get my art out there' and to order personal/businness cards from vistaprint. i dont want to order them until i figure out my website and if i'm going to start up on etsy, i have to figure out a store name! what the crap? too many decisions up front. and really, too many people sell loads of just crap on ebay and etsy. the highest price currently listed on etsy is $1200. and guess what, its still for sale.
