The Pups

I've been pretty good about not posting lots of puppy pictures but with the way Dexter, the little guy, is growing I think I better post some or he won't be a puppy anymore.  These guys gain about five pounds a week when they are puppies and it's hard to believe he went from being an armful of love just before Christmas to being pretty hard to pick up and carry around.  It went so quickly!

Duke and Dexter became fast friends almost immediately and they are pretty well joined at the hip now.  Duke seems to be reliving his own puppyhood through Dexter and toys that bored him before are now exciting again.

Poor little Bear isn't in the fun and games much now - the bloodhounds play a little too roughly for a little pomeranian!  That doesn't stop her sneaking up and stealing all the toys though and running away with them!

Dexter is so proud of himself that he finally attained his goal of getting up into my chair.  After how hard he worked at it none of us had the heart to put him down.  This is now his favourite place to nap.

It's all good though because Duke has his own reclining section of the sofa to hang out in.  The only question now seems to be where will the people sit?  lol

Your last question reminds me of a saying on a fridge magnet we've got. It says:

'If you want the best seat in the house, you'll have to move the cat'

Except in your case, substitute dog for cat!

Great photos! Your dogs look like great fun :)

Kerry, your dogs are beautiful and must add so much fun to your household. I don't have a dog but share the love of them with my son and his family's two Bernese Mountain Dogs.
Have a good day.

Love those bloodhounds! I recently bought a new couch and my dachsies have to sit on the floor(nice soft cushions). Wonder how long this will last? LOL

Do you have that sign that says something along the lines of, "If you don't want dog hair on your clothes, don't sit on the furniture. There's a reason they call it fur-niture." ?

Giveaway Day! (CLOSED)

I am very happy to be joining in the Giveaway Day through Sew, Momma, Sew .  I have chosen to share one of my finds from a shopping trip, or treasure hunts as I think of them.  This is an antique sewing box -  I could not resist it when I saw it for sale!  Were you able to guess the item from the sneak peek earlier in the week? The box itself is fairly small, 8 inchs X 6 inchs and 4 inches high (20 cm X 15 cm and 10 cm high).  From my research it is of Asian origin. Inside the sewing box is lined with hand-painted silk.  The inside of the lid features a neat little needlebook. In the bottom of the sewing box there are more beautiful hand-painted blossoms and an attached pincushion.  I hope you are as charmed by this little box as I was when I found it and that you will enter my giveaway.  I will be pleased to mail internationally so everyone is invited to enter. To enter, visit my Etsy shop and then come back and leave me a comment telling me which item you like best.  Feel fr

Save the Stitches Finished!

 I finally finished my "Covid Project"!  I worked on Elizabeth Almond's beautiful blackwork sampler design, "Save the Stitches" for much longer than I would like to admit...  I have to say though that it was very satisfying every step of the way.  I have not been able to concentrate on stitching in any significant way for some time now due to chronic pain and the dullness that the pain meds cause but having finished this piece gives me hope for my stitching future.  I also love the framing which was lovingly done by MJ of "Art Effects" in High River, Alberta.

BAS Week 35 - Bullion Stitch

This time the BAS Challenge is a stitch that can be used in either seams or motifs. It is an incredibly versatile stitch once you learn it. I put off learning the bullion stitch because I found it very intimidating, but I have to say that once I got the hang of it I have had a lot of fun with it. The possibilities are almost endless..... bullion roses... ... figures like watering cans... ...Christmas puddings... ... this little robin and worm - my personal favourite!... ....romantic hearts filled with roses... ... even a beehive and little bees.... ... or baby rattles! See, the possibilities really are endless! Now that I hope I have you inspired with ideas, here is the scoop on this stitch. It is simply a glorified french knot! There is an excellent video tutorial on Mary Corbet's Needle'nThread blog in her Video Library of Stitches. Mary has also written very good information and tips in this post.
