and a little louder
and now a little softer
O.K. that's it!
Happy Blogiversary to me!
I can't believe it's been five years already! Let's celebrate with some cake:
Apple cake - not as good as it looks. I don't like those dried out apples on top.
Anyway, I have to thank all of my readers for coming by, and leaving comments or not, but what is a blog without you? I would feel weird to just write for myself, I'm so glad you are all there!
THANK YOU!
There were times, when I needed a break from blogging, and there will be those times again, but for now, I'm still feeling the blogging love.
And what is a celebration without a gift? I'll chose one lucky winner who left a comment, to get this:
My handspun Spring Birch yarn, merino/tencel, 2-ply, ~341yds.
Good Luck!

Happy Five Years and what a lovely doggy chorus you have going there!! Doesn't time pass so quickly??
Happy Blogiversary
Congratulations! I'll bet the cake would be great with some warm caramel sauce to soften the apples.
That handspun looks like gold!
Happy Blogiversary! Love to the pups :)
Happy Blogiversary! hope it's a good one.
Congrats on five years! I bet the cake is still yummy...just throw some ice cream on top and you will not notice the dried apples :)
Happy Blogiversary! Love to see the boys and gal as always :o)
Just a tip: if you poach the apples and put them on the cake after baking, they will retain more of their moisture and be more delicious!
Happy Blogiversary. Lovely yarn.
Happy blogiversary! That's really really wonderful.
And, I always, ALWAYS love your blog. (and the pups)
Happy blogaversary!
The handspun you're giving away is absolutely gorgeous. Straw spun into gold....
Happy blogiversary! I love your blog because it combines two of my favorite things - dogs and knitting!

Happy Blogversary! I love seeing pictures of your pups and your handspun! Keep it up!
Happy Blogiversary! Time sure flies, doesn't it? Too funny that it's Denny making the loudest bark. :-)

Happy Blogiversary! I've been lurking for the past few months after running into some of your projects on Rav. I wanted to tell you how much I've loved seeing your knitting, your spinning, and your wonderful, adorable dogs. :D
-cthulhulovesme on Rav
congratulations on five years. (I come for the pups as much as the knitting...)
Happy Blogoversary to you! Every time I see that gold yarn I think of Rapunzel.
I haven't been flollowing you for the entire 5 years, but it's been at least 2-3!
If you pick my name, feel free to pass the yarn on to the next in line...I've got too much yarn already.
My questions for you is what brand is that crate in the picture of the "softer" barker? I don't recognize it, but I like the looks of it!!
Congratulations! I've just let my 4th anny go by, and have been thinking about dropping off the net, but now I think I'll try to tough it out to 5 yrs.
Congrats on five years! It's amazing how time flies... cliche as it sounds. Keep up the beautiful blog!
Happy, happy Birthday, dear Monika!
Bzw... lieber Blog!
Ich freue mich auf die nächsten Jahre...
LG
Nadja
I enjoy seeing your work both knitting and spinning but I adore your dogs.
Happy Blogiversary. Been so enjoying your posts and the day-ins and outs with the pups and knitting.
wow, I'm a bit blown away by your generosity. That will make an amazing shawlette.
Happy Blogoversary! I just celebrated my first in the fall (wait - it's spring... 1.5 years!)
I love the community of knitting blogs and i hope they are still going strong when I get to 5 years.
Thank you,
Kathy (bigblueice(at)yahoo(dot)com
Wow you have spun a beautiful yarn!
Congrats on your blogiversary.
Now that we've heard "Let's Hear It From The Boys!" song.
How about the little girl who is keeping them busy?
We missed you when you left, so glad you came back! Always love your amazing photos of handspun and lace projects. And of course, the doggies :) Congrats on 5 years!
Congrats on 5 years! That's great. I always enjoy your posts even if I don't always comment! Love the last picture....so cute!
Wow 5 years, that's amazing, keep up the good work. x
Happy Blogoversary. I enjoy reading abut your adventures with fiber and fur. Birch is lovely and would find a nice snuggle waiting for it in my stash.
Of course I love everything you knit, but honestly my day wouldn't be complete sometimes without a pic of the four legged loves!
Happy Blogivesary
