Bad Blogger

I won't promise to do better, because I don't like commitments. Puts a kink in my creativity. I won't go into details, but I have a lot going on in my day time world & I just don't have anything nice to say - so I won't!

On the sewing front, I have been piddling around with a few paper pieced feathered stars. they are really gorgeous. I'm doing mine in various shades of blue. I have been finishing up some charity quilts that were cut out. Turns out that the charity I had planned to give the tops to, likes them SMALLER. Dang it. I have about 12 cut out! I guess I'll have plenty to gift!

My dog, Bourbon, is getting old. He is losing his hearing. the only up side to Bourbon's hearing loss? All those stupid commercials on TV with doorbells. He can't hear them anymore. Which equates to no barking. He is also on daily maintenance medications. His mobility is doing ok. But some days he just can't move. I have an important decision to make, but I'm waiting to see how he fares the winter weather coming up. Yes, I'm likely stringing it out just for me. I don't want to get much more into this explanation, or I'll end up crying. Ugh!

I have been doing a little knitting. Mainly because I need something to keep my hands busy when I'm not sewing. I can do it while I watch TV with Prince Charming. Since I moved my sewing room downstairs, I only do hand work upstairs. I have been knitting little bunnies & bears. A cat & now sheep. All from the same designer. Littelcottonrabbits. I bought the patterns off etsy. they are stinking adorable. About 11 inches tall. I have not knitted anything in over 20 years. Never did anything this small, nor with this many increases and decreases. But they are coming out super cute, so I'm guessing I'm not doing TOO bad.

Sorry. No photos.
