Busy

I didn't get to the computer or my crafts yesterday. We had a large tree in our front yard we had to have taken down so the day was spent clearing away the brush. Today it is back to the quilt I am making for my newest granddaughter who was born on October 10.

It is a beautiful stamped cross stitch design. Once I get that project finished it is on to the next one. I am also decorating flour sack towels for Christmas gifts.

When I am not doing that I am always on the look out for southwest designs to make and use as decoration for my home.

I am in need of a good source for yarn. One of my daughters has been wanting a sweater and I just can't seem to find the right yarn. Any suggestions?

I have found that I enjoy making photo albums and matching baby quilts for friends and family. I raid the remanents bin at WalMart which helps but there is a great fabric store close to me that I can spend hours in looking for the perfect print to meet the personality or decor that the family has chosen and turn it into a very simple patch work quilt.

I have a pretty busy life and I just remembered before I can get back to the quilt I need to give the two family dogs a bath. After years of avoiding it my husband and I gave in to our 16 year old and let her get a chihuahua puppy that her sister adopted for her from an animal rescue society. I started reading about chihuahuas and saw picture of a long-haired chihuahua and decided I wanted one. One thing lead to another and our son-in-law looked all over and found me the most adorable 8 week old long-haired chihuahua. Lucy is our daughters dog and Bella is mine, I didn't realize how quickly these little dogs would worm their way into our hearts. Lucy and Bella run the show now! Gotta go, but I will be back! Maybe someday I will get back to my collection of James Patterson novels that I love, but at least now his series the "Women's Murder Club" is on TV and I can catch that.
