Saying Goodby To Our Dear Baby


Our dear Tigger passed away Sunday morning..As he lay in my husband's arms, with us petting and talking to him, he purred away even with his last gasp..He will be missed but we will carry him and his memories in our hearts forever.

Build a Seam Week 13




I'm learning how to "Crazy Quilt"...I love hand embroidery and the fun this is bringing to me is fantastic....On this particular group I am on, they have a new stitch every week for each member to create something different..Well, I'm a newbie so just learning the stitch plus adding a bit of me into it has been a great experience..
Week 13 is the Herringbone Mirrored..
I used #5 DMC for the herringbone stitch, then I looped it using regular 6 ply floss adding a pearl between each stitch..I know it's not much but it's a start!!

Introducing "Noel"




Noel is our new little kitty...She was born November 5th and came to our home Christmas Day..She's an interesting color for sure but I'm kind of a person who loves unique and interesting things..She's a piece of art ...Noel is into everything and I mean everything, yet she's as sweet as she could be. She's eating wonderfully and using her kitty box perfectly - no accidents since arriving home thank goodness. We, meaning Lee and myself, are already in love with this baby and she is fitting in as though she's been here forever.

Totes For Christmas




I made the two totes..One is a simple patchwork with lining and the other is from a pair of recycled jeans..I think they came out pretty good!
