Sleep tight Scarlett

We will love you forever.

Happy Eat Cake Day!!!

Scarlett is 13 today - there will be cake and ice cream later.....

A crunchy carrot and a new dog bed:

Scarlett, quilt and bag

Scarlett with her stitches - which she has now had removed - and she is doing really well. Finally finished my quilt from this year's New Year's Day mystery - not been washed yet but I want a sunny day for that (not holding my breath).

and last but not least, Sheila, who I have shared an office with on and off at work for about 20 years, is retiring tomorrow. I found this fabric in January which is perfect as it features a westie and a lab on the brown fabric and westies on the green fabric and Sheila has got - yes, a westie and a lab. Bought the fabric in Jan, finished the bag today and Sheila finishes work tomorrow.... Perfect timing....

Wounded Scarlett

Poor babe Scarlett has had to have a lump removed by the vet. It was on her shoulder so wrapping it up to keep it clean was difficult. A Primark babygro to the rescue. Not sure she is very impressed with having to wear it. She did get a roast chicken bought for her though - although she had to share it with Penny and Daisy.

Spring cleaning - who needs Spring for that?

Don't tell her, but this is a Christmas present for Scarlett..... I was tidying and found a box of brushed cotton - there was too much for the lid to fit properly. I cut it into 2" squares and just sewed them together without thinking about how it would end up. I backed it with a piece of fleece - I found another large box of that. I quilted it on my domestic using the threads that were nearly finished and emptied two cones. The lid still won't close on the box of brushed cotton.....

Two more reasons

Two for the price of one

Two Bonnie Hunter patterns: Wonky Wishes blocks with a dancing nine patch setting.

Our kitchen tiling is nearly finished so Mark insisted the photo show some of the tiles. Scarlett had to be in the photo too, and bottom left is Penny's disappearing bum.....

Happy Birthday Scarlett

9 today - but refused to pose nicely for me......

I am sure my latest practice piece will end up in your dogbed....

Rainy day

What else can three girls do on a rainy afternoon?

Like Buses

Nothing for ages then two at once..... Mum wanted some covers for her chairs so I loaded some fabric I had dyed onto NessieJ not long after I first had her and practiced on these rather than endless bits of scrap fabric. Have only just done the binding though...... and while I had the camera out, Penny and Scarlett. Penny is the one on the left with a tennis ball under her bum because it is a Precious Thing and she has to keep it close.

Finish for Scarlett

Probably my oldest UFO. Finished and donated to Scarlett's bed! I have got plans to make a new quilt for Willow too.....

Linus and Scarlett

A finished one for Linus - with Scarlett getting in on the action.
