Bloodhound Puppies!

Well, here he is, king of my darling daughter's little world:  Duke.  As you can see, we have very strict rules about a dog's place in the world and have him well trained to stay off the furniture, etc.  HA!

Little does Duke know as he lays here, that he is about to become a big brother!


WHAT????

Yes, that's right, Dukie, soon you will not be the only one living in Katie's heart!  Today I sent her off with my debit card to pick out her Christmas present.

 Before she got to meet Duke's potential sibling though, she got to meet the Baby Momma!  She's got a sweet disposition and is very friendly.

She is stockier than Duke even though her owners say she has lost a lot of weight throughout her pregnancy.

Hmmm... seems to be tougher all around what with this outdoorsy attitude!  Duke runs outside for a quick pee in the winter and then wants right back in.  He's been telling us bloodhounds don't like the cold.

They do have one thing in common - they are both hams for the camera.  Is this a pose or what?


Nope - she's not dead - likely just dead tired because of all the trials and tribulations of motherhood!

Or maybe she's having a hot flash?  I know I feel like going outside and doing this fairly often!  Anyway, I bet you are ready to see puppies now, right?












Awwww......  And really, how much trouble could one more dog be?  Look at this picture - it's not like puppies chew or anything, right? 

Okay, so one more thing off my Christmas list!  I am so excited for when he gets to come home!

Well, Kerry, it's a good thing you didn't send me out with your debit card - I wouldn't be able to pick just one (Grin). Good to see that Duke knows his proper place - sharing a bed with one bloodhound can't be any worse than shariing with 2 rottis.

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a...

BAS - Week 81 - Sequin Flower with Tutorial

This Build a Seam (BAS) Challenge is a little different - not exactly a stitch per se.  It is a technique for making sequin flowers which can be a wonderful addition to a seam treatment or motif. You will need cupped sequins for this - flat ones will not work properly - and some seed beads.  Mark your fabric with a center dot and five evenly spaced dots around the outside.  Bring your needle up through one of the dots on the outside and string on one sequin (cup upwards), a bead, another sequin and two more beads.  Take your needle down through the middle dot.  Carry on making another leg in the same way on each of the other four outside dots, always going down into the center dot which will be the middle of your flower. This is what you end up with after you have done all five legs - a nice little sequin flower!  You can add a bead or two more in the center of the flower if you wish.  You can also vary the number of legs depending on the size of t...

Giveaway! (Closed Midnight Monday!)

While packing my stash for the move to the lake I found duplicates of a couple books. What can I say? It must be really appealing to buy it twice! So, I have two books to giveaway. The first one is "45 Fine & Fanciful Hats to Knit". My knitting skills aren't up to this, I'm afraid - I wish they were because it is a gorgeous book! The second book for giveaway is "Tatting Doilies & Edgings", edited by Ruth Weiss. This is a good one because it has lots of edgings that can be tatted and used for crazy quilting. Of course, you could tat the doilies and edgings for anything you like! lol So, to enter the giveaway simply leave a comment with your email address and indicating which book you would like to go in the draw for. I'll draw names sometime on Monday. Thanks!
