This is a bit of fun! I have just been tagged by Susan Loftin for the 6 Picture Meme. So, here is my picture. I am uncertain how to relate this to stitching... textural interest? ...a study in light and shadow? Maybe I better find the stitching relevance in the six blogs I tag in turn! lol This is Duke, dd's bloodhound. He is still a pup, under a year, but I have been fascinated with how the characteristic bloodhound folds have been developing in his face. Which is why a while ago I found myself lying on the floor taking this picture upwards as he looked down at me from an armchair. This is the first bloodhound we have had in the family but I don't think he will be the last. He has a wonderful personality and I'm sure I will appreciate it even more when he gets over the puppy chewing stage. So far he has eaten numerous shoes, a cell phone, a loveseat, etc. Just last night it was my new dental floss and a piece of crazy quilting recently completed. Don't let...

I have been distracted the last couple of days with excitement at home. DD, Katie, has bought and brought home a new puppy. He is about three months old and she has named him Duke. (Anyone else flashing back to Jed Clampett's old hounddog on The Beverly Hillbillies?) I don't actually have a picure of him yet - this is one I took of a littermate of his, the inspiration for this sudden desire for a bloodhound! Katie has been avidly studying everything she can find on bloodhounds on the internet and telling me as much as she thinks I can handle - lol! I drove home yesterday to be there when she brought the puppy home. He was tired from his four hour car ride and a bit dehydrated from the heat so was somewhat subdued but he is definitely a charmer!! I immediately wished he wouldn't be leaving with Katie when she goes off to university. So, are you wondering why I titled this piece Porch Puppy? My husband's "big project" for this summer is to put a porch ...
