Some Great things from the Dawg Team

Christmas is 87 days away, Now is the time to start your Christmas shopping! Here is some wonderful things to shop for! :)

Lisa's Crocheted Dish Cloth - Scrubbers

Our wonderful Lisa Parker had a free blog giveaway back a while ago. The giveaway was a crocheted dishcloth scrubber, and I was the lucky winner. Since then I have happily used my pretty blue dishcloth a few times now, and it is holding up great and does a great job cleaning. Here you see me scrubbing a fry pan that I had made turkey bacon in. I am very happy with the quality and job it does.



They are made from echo-friendly 100% cotton yarn. They feel and work great, and launder up beautifully too! I do believe it will last longer than my regular store bought dish clothes, and I plan on replacing my old ones with these new ones.
I strongly recommend Lisa's crocheted Dish Clothes and encourage you stop by her etsy shop.
Be sure to check out Lisa's Blog, she has wonderful giveaways twice a month, and she is really on the ball and posts often.

The SketchBook Project 2011

I finally decided to make the commitment to join The Sketchbook Project 2011.

What is the Sketchbook Project?
"It's like a concert tour but with sketchbooks."

Who are the organizers?

The Sketchbook:  

Anyone - from anywhere in the world - can be a part of the project. Thousands of artist sign up to be a part of this project. What happens to the sketchbooks you finish and return to the organizer?

"Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way on tour across the country.

After the tour, all sketchbooks will enter into the permanent collection of The Brooklyn Art Library, where they will be barcoded and available for the public to view."
