More Pit Bull News

My favorite quote from this article is, "Generalizations and preconceptions are as unhelpful and counterproductive for pit bulls as they are for people." For me, this says it all. How can you say all Pit Bulls are bad or inherently violent? Without picking on any particular group, it's the same as believing in stereotypes about people.

In any case, I'm very excited for Jim Gorant's book (The Lost Dogs: Michael Vick's Dogs and Their Tale of Rescue and Redemption) and will be picking up a copy of it for myself.

Etsy Treasuries

Etsy treasuries are collections of items listed on Etsy put together by Etsy members. Anyone can create a treasury, and sometimes especially well-designed and thoughtful treasuries make it onto the home page of Etsy.

One of my bracelets is part of an Etsy treasury put together by Etsy member KandiceInWonderland. Please be sure to go take a look! Not only does my bracelet look great in this treasury, but it (of course) features other very, very talented Etsy artisans.

Joining the Crowd

I'm not a great writer. I'm not a witty writer. But I'm hoping to maybe develop these skills as I write about some of my interests which follow, but are not limited to:

• jewelry design
• knitting
• growing succulents
• continuing to learn to ride my bike
• owning a 5-pound "dog"

If you think you'd like to follow - great! And thanks :-)
