Another Wednesday! this week has just flown by!!  I finally got my cat quilt done!  It is on the line drying now. I have my machine set up in the living room today and all ready to go. I found a box of  material already cut for a quilt called scrappity-do-dah I will try and make the squares this week and have top done by next Wednesday.  Found another chocolate pattern I had cut out have to re figure what I was doing with it and get it done next!  I washed and ironed all the reds for the Peaceful Pathways but haven't started to cut it yet, I need a really quite day to set up cutting time (when someone else is here to puppy and cat sit!)  I hope to get it cut on Sunday during the football game but we will see.  I need to go through all my things and list my UFOs and work my way through them until I get caught up! that's what I like about fall and winter I get to sit quietly outside and sew or crochet! 
Well I hope you all have a great week. speak to you soon

Another week already! It's gone fast.  today I actually got my red material all washed and ironed. thats it !  the rest of the day I have been cleaning the house!!  I did dig out my knitting and crocheting work to do later today while catching up shows.   I 'm still sewing the edges of my cat quilt. I have been sitting outside on my glider chair this week  working on it a little at a time hopefully I'll get it done at the weekend.  well hope you have all had a good week. speak again next week.

New Week

I can't believe its been a week already.  I haven't got much done on my quilt. I managed to put the layers together and started tying it together now I need to get the pattern drawn on and quilt it!!

We lost a good family member on saturday morning. Hubble has been with us for many years but cancer spread very fast.  It is the first time in 27yrs that we didn't have a dog in our house.
We lost Baby girl to old agae a few month back as well so it has been a trying weekend.

On a happier note a few weekends ago my husband brought me a little kitten that we called Mocha and she is doing fine. she has been accepted by all the older cats now and is getting on great with them.

This past sunday my husband went out to fill  all the bottle water containers and called me to tell me to get dressed he was coming to pick me up to take me to town.  when we got up to town there was a lady selling peka yorkies (teacup sized) I fell in love with the last one she had needless to say she is a new member of the family!  We have called her Gizmo but I find I call her gizzy lizzy don't know why it just happened!!
Then my husband asked me to contact a lady in the free cycle paper as she had a boxer that needed a home I wasn't ready for any other new family yet but he went to see the pup and fell in love with her. she is a boxer and lab mix (black and white)  we have named her Maggie I feel our family is complete again but boy I sure forgot what it was like trying to potty train again!! its been nearly 16yrs since the last ones had to be trained.
After all this you can imagine I haven't got much else done!! I did buy my material for the new peaceful pathways now if I can ge the time to wash my material I'll be doing good!!

Well today is the first blog for me who would have thought I'd be doing this!! 

I am working on a quilt from Ellies Quiltplace. I have been working on it all year and am now trying to put it together!  My work space is all over the house where ever I can find a gap! I have my ironing board in the kitchen , My material in my sons sitting room, my design board where ever I can lean it! and my sewing machine either in the kitchen or the livingroom!  I need to get a folding table or one with wheels so I can move it around easier!! I wish I could keep everything set up but no space!! We have four cats now and they really love it when I work on the quilts needless to say I do alot of ripping out after they have pulled my material while I'm sewing!!  We have a new kitten called Mocha and she is just learning all the tricks from the others!  Well anyway I will try to post a photo now and see how that works wish me luck!!
