iPhone Post

So I really wanted to try a post from my phone. See if the app is Tonya friendly or not. Seems that it is so far.

Finished the Trees & House's Top

It's hanging from the pantry, so it's hanging WONKY......

It is sewed straight, I promise.

I love this.........I'm thinking free motion quilting on this one.  Wish I could do small bubbles all over.  That would be pretty.  

Lots of cutting & piecing

Today's work, and yesterday's and the 5 days before that.

I got the kit while on vacation 4 years ago.  Yep, I thought it was about time I tackled it.

 Beautiful kit, right?

Now, look at all those pieces I cut.  I think it literally took forever.

Normally, I'd rush through something like this to get it done.

Nope, I'm taking my time on this one.  It's purdy.

I have all of it pieced, except one house and then I'll be ready to put it in rows and add sashing.

I thought I'd send this one out to be quilted.  Nahhh, I can meander (free motion quilting) with the best of them. So, I'll save the money and do it myself.

Hopefully, today or tomorrow I'll have it assembled and can show you the top.

I sew while E and the hubs are gaming! ;)

Happy Thanksgiving

It's been a great day here. We picked up E yesterday and he'll be home till Saturday.

Hopefully, after the first of the year, he'll be home for GOOD.

So, I made the decision to get a dot.com and moved my entire blog over to Wordpress.  2 days worth of work, only to find nothing there.  I don't find any of my work.

Cancelling the dot.com tomorrow if it ain't there and sticking with free blogger.

Oh well..................

Hope you all are happily stuffed!

Meet Abi (Abbagail)

Abi (Abbagail on her paper's) is a 7 yr old Shih Tzu 

Previous owners needed to simplify their life.  They had 5 shih tzu's, 11 horses and 2 outside dogs (that I saw).  And she's going through a divorce.

Abi had a litter of pups in April and is still underweight from that.

I'm trying to fatten her up a bit.

 The day we brought her home, she was scared to death.

She didn't eat for about a week and did her potty business all over the house.

I was so frustrated as I knew she was house trained.  I knew she was scared, but didn't anticipate how scared she would have been.  Then I thought, "what if I lived somewhere for 7 years with my siblings and was kidnapped and take some place strange in the hills"?  I do understand and try to keep my cool when I find a new place she's peed.  She's getting better, we just went two days with no inside accidents....then this morning I noticed she peed in our bedroom during the early morning.  Bless her........

 She don't like a leash.  She was used to her previous owner just opening the door and she'd go out freely and do her business.  Well.........the day we brought her home, we tried letting her go out freely and she ran 2 miles.  Seriously, we almost gave up looking for her and then found her hiding in the corner of a horse pasture.  Two days later she came out of her harness and ran again.  I drove up and down the road looking for her and never found her.  I gave up, I was so aggravated with this dog at this point.  About 30 mins later I looked outside to find her waltzing back into the yard.  She came back!  Now her collar is much tighter and she can't come out of it.  She's starting to eat more and settling in good with us.

We took her to meet E last weekend.  He loves her!

 She loves wearing clothes.  She's very small 9 lbs, so the clothes help keep her warm.  We like a cool house.  She will also bury herself in covers.

Abi is pleased to meet you all!

One more thing.....the picture below is how the hubs wants to grow her hair, I told him he has to keep it up.

 I would settle for her hair to be like the pic below.

WOW

First, I'm sorry!

It's been so long since I last posted.

I can't decide if I'm loosing interest in my blog, or I've just been too busy.

Things have been super crazy here lately.

You all know the problems with my E or you know the gist of them, just not the details and I normally won't share that kind of info via a blog.  

He's making great progress.  So......after 6 years of seeing every Dr in our area, we finally have a diagnosis. 

We finally know what's going on and we know what we have to work with here.

Bottom line..........THERE'S HOPE, and he'll be just fine.

He'll face struggles and obstacles in his life, and he may face more than the average person, but I know in time, he'll be able to face anything.

Our traveling has slowed down a bit this week.

For the past two months, we've been going an hour one way for Dr's appt's twice a week some weeks.

It was so tiring.

So, there you have it and hopefully I still have some readers out there.
