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!

Kerry, how cute is that!! Duke is so handsome, the puppies mom is gorgeous, and oh those puppies!! What a tough decision~!

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 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.
