Happy New Year!

As the sun goes down on 2017......

And the moon rises on 2018......

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I went outside, and saw this, the last sunset of the year. As I turned around to go back inside, I saw the beautiful moonrise.. Thought it would be a rather fitting post.

Here is the whole picture of the moon with my beloved little bug:

Meet the Bassets

Meet Mom and Dad Basset, their puppies and wise old Grandpa. They are hand carved wood, furred, 1:12 scale. I love Basset Hounds. I guess they are my favorite dog breed. I admit I got a bit carried away carving them, just couldn't stop and the family grew :)

The mama on the left and daddy on the right...

...and their 3 puppies.

Mama having a moment with her children.

When I finished carving this one, I decided he looked like a wise old dog, hence the graying face. What fun!

And this little guy is asking Grandpa for some advice!
