Wordless Wednesday............. December 28, 2016

Every once in awhile I get to make a baby quilt...

And every once in awhile I get
 to make baby quilts for twins!

This is the third set of twins I've made quilts for.

It's great fun creating similar BUT not identical quilts!

 

 

 

And this silly creature is for the older brother!

 

 

 

 

Below is the older brother's quilt

that I made for him two years ago! 



 

 

But wait....there's more:

 

March of 2011 I made these twin boy quilts:

 

 

And here are the first twin quilts I made

for a boy and girl twins plus a silly stuffed

creature for their big sister!

Do thank Sandee for Wordless Wednesday!

And have a great day!

Feline Friday December 23, 2016 Two Days to Christmas???

Two days before Christmas and Lucy

was quietly at rest...

 

 

Unaware that her humans were about to test....

 

 

 

Lucy's good humor and boy did she hiss...

 

 

 

"How dare you do such a thing as this..."

 

 

 

"I am taking this hat and going to sleep..."

 

 

 

"and now it's my blanket forever to keep!!"

The deer were a little pushy....

It's winter and they are hungry.

 

 

 

First I saw the buck... 

 

Tossed some pieces of carrots 

 

Such a gorgeous animal....

I think he's one of the fawns from a few years past.

We've been here now for almost 5 years!

 

Then a few of this years fawns and a doe

showed up too. I went back in the house

when they got too close....

 

Last shot taken from inside the house!

 

Do check out Six Words and Sunday Shadows.

And have a lovely day!

I have never ever bought a bed for

any of our four legged family members.....

but yesterday I could NOT help myself!

I think Lucy loves her bed.

What do you think?

 

 

 

I think Lucy loves her bed...

 

 

I also think Lucy would like to continue

sleeping without being bothered by

the family photographer!

Have a lovely Feline Friday and

thanks Steve !!!

Awww Monday December 5, 2016

This time of year is busy!

 

Sometimes far too busy- which is why I

have not been the usual blogger. In a few

days I will have mailed off all the wee little packets

 to family and friends all over this planet....whew.

Yesterday I went shopping at our local craft fair

for all those gifts. Nothing better than honey, hand made

soaps, ceramics and kids clothes! 

Meanwhile, here's a peaceful photo for you.....

take care and have a fun week!
