I just finished cutting and ironing all the fabric for the solids for prints swap. Whew! That was a big job. I was thinking about the history of each of the pieces – some of them I’ve been lugging around since high school, some are from my mother-in-law’s fabric stash, some I found thrifting recently but just have too much of. I hope everyone is pleased with their packages! Charlie says our room now looks like a fabric store threw up in there. Try out this pumpkin dog food topper to boost your dog’s immune system.
Roxy was sick with a cold on Saturday and SUCH a challenge to care for. Crying all day long and only mommy would do. Oh my. I did get a few hours of work done in the morning while Charlie took her out and I made this new blue doggy. He is made from a felted wool scarf I found thrifting with my mom last weekend, some lovely brown wool from Mimi and some wool blanketing from Fiona. I think he’s rather cheerful.
I’ve been waiting for the mailman everyday this week because the postcards I ordered for the Postcard Swap haven’t come in yet from Snapfish despite the fact that I ordered them on Jan. 19! I am a very prompt person and I always have all my assignments done on time. I hate it when I’m forced to be past deadline on something. Postcards from other people have started to flow in and I haven’t even mailed mine yet! So, alas, if you are on my list I’m sorry but my postcard may be a bit delayed.
Amanda says
What an adorable little doggie! His pose makes him look ready to play with Roxy. I’m sorry to hear that she’s been sick. Max is sick too, and I can sympathize with how not-fun it is. Poor little sweeties, I’m hoping they both get better soon.
I hope you get your postcards soon. That happened to me too during Myra’s last postcard swap, although it wasn’t Snapfish that I used. How frustrating!
Nichola says
That doggy is enough to make any sick child feel better in an instant!
Jen Leheny says
oooh I can’t wait to see what prints I will be getting! What a fun swap this will be. I haven’t gotten organised yet but I have a few lovely plains in mind for you… 🙂 Jen

I love your doggy, he’s such a nice shape.
Don’t feel too bad about your postcards, I was afraid mine weren’t going to get here on time but they showed up late friday… I don’t think anyone will mind a day or two.

That puppy has the cutest little look about him!
Sam says
Okay I’m freaking out a bit now, as I certainly didn’t iron my fabrics before I posted them. I am trying not to fret, but am anxious they will not live up to expectation. Please excuse me, but it is my first swap.
Fiona says
He looks very cuddly! That blue wool is such a gorgeous colour.
lisa says
