Puppy Pictures and Shameless Plug!

 I know, I know, you get tired of the puppy pictures, right?  But you have to admit I have been good and refrained for awhile now.  How could I resist sharing photos of Bear in her new bright orange hoodie though?
 It must be comfortable because she doesn't even mind wearing it!  It will be good for the coming cold months as well because it is super warm.  Such a good thing for little dogs who have to go outside in the snow and cold to do their business.
 How stylish and cool does she look?!  The embroidered logo on the pocket on the back is "Ridedogsride" and this is where the shameless plug comes in.  I am lucky enough to have the Garlands as campers out here at the lake occasionally and they have a wonderful business online called, of course, RideDogsRide, where they creat helmets, goggles, jackets, hoodies, and so much more so that folk's pets can be just as cool and safe as their owners are riding their motorcycles.  I was thrilled to bits when they gifted Bear with this wonderful hoodie!  Thank you Glen and Diana!

If you want to smile this morning, definitely check out their web site so you see all the cool items on offer and take a look at some of the photos there.  You can't look at little Harley, a Yorkie, in his helmet and leather jacket or vest without grinning - too cute!  (Tell them the campground lady sent you over for a look! - thanks!)

And, yes, it is true, much to my daughter's dismay - I have finally turned into one of those old ladies who dress up their dog!  lol

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 comment telling me which item you like best.  Feel fr

Save the Stitches Finished!

 I finally finished my "Covid Project"!  I worked on Elizabeth Almond's beautiful blackwork sampler design, "Save the Stitches" for much longer than I would like to admit...  I have to say though that it was very satisfying every step of the way.  I have not been able to concentrate on stitching in any significant way for some time now due to chronic pain and the dullness that the pain meds cause but having finished this piece gives me hope for my stitching future.  I also love the framing which was lovingly done by MJ of "Art Effects" in High River, Alberta.

BAS Week 35 - Bullion Stitch

This time the BAS Challenge is a stitch that can be used in either seams or motifs. It is an incredibly versatile stitch once you learn it. I put off learning the bullion stitch because I found it very intimidating, but I have to say that once I got the hang of it I have had a lot of fun with it. The possibilities are almost endless..... bullion roses... ... figures like watering cans... ...Christmas puddings... ... this little robin and worm - my personal favourite!... ....romantic hearts filled with roses... ... even a beehive and little bees.... ... or baby rattles! See, the possibilities really are endless! Now that I hope I have you inspired with ideas, here is the scoop on this stitch. It is simply a glorified french knot! There is an excellent video tutorial on Mary Corbet's Needle'nThread blog in her Video Library of Stitches. Mary has also written very good information and tips in this post.
