Hi,  the Chocolate Dog Studio blog was born out of need to get rid of knitted items! lol Actually it is an outlet to talk on so many things, artwork, knitting, chocolate dog studio, My chocolate lab; Bear, being a parent, being a homeschool mom, living life, yarn, being alive and my Etsy store! Life is good and keeps me guessing as to what is going to happen in the our lives. We have four kids! All very individual, interesting,highly creative people. They are starting to leave the nest and fledge.  I have been married to my best friend for over 20 years and counting.  The rest of the information about me is rather like yours, I suspect; sister, daughter, cousin, friend, mother, cook, and caretaker of stuff!!

I like walks in the rain, yarn, horses, labrador retrievers, labrador retriever rescue, puppies, pets, kids, reading, sewing, knitting, cooking (sometimes) and family. Did I mention reading and yarn? I should have mentioned yarn, it has been a long time fascination for me as have textiles (FABRIC). Oh, I am also not a highly organized person. I suspect ADD but that was before it was a diagnosis.  I love teaching art and am an interior designer by education from the great school of Oklahoma State University, GO POKES.

I have been a stay home mom, a paycheck mom, a homeschool mom, a scout leader mom, driving to music lessons mom, entreprenurial mom, collector of yarn, and the mom that hates to clean her house! Like I said I am much like you.

Did I mention that I like yarn?

Thanks for reading this!
