catching up

My beautiful little girl

loves snow

this little dog makes me smile

she is always happy

and always has a smile on her face.

and here is my handsome boy.

cuddled up in about $200 worth of yarn.

the bud light dog

resting on my scrap vomit quilt 

(not yet quilted, but stay tuned)

my scrappy trip around the 

world in progress. 

2.5" squares.

a future quilt.

Jack peeping over the top of

a quilt I'm quilting.

the handsome Harvey.

You could look at this cat's face 

forever. 

He sends his love.

snow

We get so excited about snow,

around here.

when snow is predicted, 

Jack watches the weather channel

like a kid tracking Santa on 

Christmas eve.

The pups love the snow, too.

Daisy runs around barking and trying

to catch the flakes on her tongue.  

Right now, she is trying to get Jack out of bed

so he can go outside and watch her.

Well, look who's coming over to play, today!!!!!!!!!

I will have warm biscuits ready

when he arrives.

HAPPY HOLLY DAYS!!!!!!

a little cross stitched gift made by 

Megan for me years and years ago

updated with a christmas tree border, quilted

and bound by me.

Are these reindeer tracks???

I believe so

blessings to all

winter wonderful!

I love to take pics

looking out my living room window

(i not so secretly spy on my neighbors-looks like John

took a snow day)As you can see, Sparky (aka Jack) is working

on getting on  HGTV for the Holidays.  He may end up on 

Holmes on Homes

because there are too many extension cords.

Stay tuned for the new year's fire works (oooops)

I found these two little elves at our

back door.

We are all wound up like 

little monkeys, here, 

waiting for the big man

to appear!

HO HO HO

Our new watering hole

I spent the afternoon with

my brother, Harvey.

He found a new watering hole.

It has a great view! 

Oh, wait.

What's this? 

Some new grass?  Do you expect

me to roll my own???

whoa!!!!!!

almost lost my balance.

Wow, look what I can do.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

 What's in this stuff???

I'm feeling a little mellow.

Can someone put on some James Taylor?

Hay man,

I don't know which end is up.

That was a close call.
Got any tuna salad?

Tree Houses $8

I sewed and sewed and sewed and came up with eleven of these.

I thought these would be a simple and 

fast project.  Not!

I didn't like the first one I finshed, but had put so

much time into them I went ahead and finished

the rest.  Now I love them.

Too bad they have to go!!!!

We'll always be your sugar!

Just what every girl wants

to hear the day before thanksgiving

"We'll always be your sugar!"

this is the first time I noticed this on the box. 

I usually just empty the contents into a tight lidded container

and toss the box.

Makes me wonder what else I might be missing?

some little surprise just waiting for me

to pay attention.

I admit, I am a person who spends a good deal of

time looking for inspiration on the Internet.

and all the time it was in my 

kitchen cupboard.

Now, 

look what's on my kitchen counter.

needs a little more sugar

Perfect!

this is what happens when

you start baking early.

veeeeeeeery tasty!

Tom is in the oven.

This is a little quilt that I wasn't too

happy with, but it is really growing on me.

These need to have binding put on.

sew on

You'll always be my sugar!!!!!!!!!!1
