FIRST GIVEAWAY, YOU CHOOSE

        WOOF! GIVEAWAY  TIME!!  WOOF!

This is "Bullet"! Our beautiful 8 year old rottweiler. She is such a suck it's pathetic. She's also the only other female in the house.

 I had an idea to help the S.P.C.A. in our area by making dog coats and either selling them with the proceeds going to the shelter or giving the coats directly to the shelter, I'm not sure yet which way to go here. Any suggestions?

I want to make this year the turning point for me, no doubt something I should have done a long time ago. I've participated in a few "quilt-alongs" to help out and it feels so great joining in!

 I received a dog coat pattern for free last year from one of my  blogland friends so it just makes sense to use the pattern for, what I hope is, a whole lot of good to some very deserving furry friends. 

I think a name for the project would be a good thing too. I'm tossing around a couple but they don't have the punch I want.

So do you have any suggestions for a name and what are your thoughts, sell and donate the money OR donate the coats?

In the spirit of a new year,  I'm going to have my FIRST GIVEAWAY !!!  I'll pick a name from those that enter and the winner will have a choice of a "dog coat and a surprise" or a "box pouch"!

                                             {not exactly as shown, will be different fabric}

 How's that sound? Let's have the closing date JANUARY 12, 2011. Let me know if you've blogged about my giveaway for a second chance. You don't have to become a follower but it would be nice too!

So please spread the word and help me help Bullet's buddies!

                                               

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

It's a comin' slow but sure.



This is the second panel of my undecided project. I can't wait to start the quilting on it. The house is quiet, Bullet {our rottweiler} is finally able to sleep and when I've finished this post I'm trekking down to my sewing machines to hide for the rest of the day!

What's your favourite part of the projects you're working on?

Have a great day!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas, YAY!!!



I love Christmas. Love, love,love the holiday! I would be very happy living at the North Pole year round.  Snow? Bring it!! Cold? No problem  { I live on the Saskatchewan prairies, nuff said! }
Isolation? Some days it actually is welcome! I'd have no problem with any of these minor set backs as long as I have my sewing machines!

This is the start of either a wall hanging or a quilt. Haven't decided and it will depend on how much time I'll have to spend on it.  We are expecting two youngsters at the end of school today. They will be staying with us for a little while so their parents can sort themselves out. 


Have a wonderful day!!

Introductions please

Finally an updated picture of our gorgeous and might I say handsome grandson...

I'm back, Is anyone still out there?

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you down south.



Wow!!! It's been quite a long time since I've been to blogland. I sure miss all of you! I'm back though and ready to get busy.

My family has been even more closely knit over the past three and a half months living in a tent, truck camper and motorhome while waiting for progress on our house. Needless to say we will not be in our house at all this year and are shooting for next Christmas! Never ones to be down and out we have finally procured a house to rent in our new town and will over the next month or so try to get comfy while watching the thermometer drop to -37 this morning! YIKES!!
Unfortunately we are on the ancient dial up internet at present and uploading pics is impossible. I wanted so much to share some photos of my gorgeous grandson but it just won't work! ARRRG!!!
I will keep trying though and now that I have access to my sewing machines again I will be busy this winter just filling the need to sew.

This is my second addition to my den and I must say I'm pretty proud of myself and how she turned out.
