True Love

 

He is a happy boy when Jeremy gets home!  He loves Jeremy to the moon and beyond.

It has been a day of laundry here...and that was enough.  Plus with the weather Copper has wanted out.  He loves company when he is outside.  Which is okay till the cold weather sets in and then it is not fun.

I just don't have much to say tonight...so will close for now.

The Long Hug

Lorelei and Gus

Gus was giving her a long hug

I am trying to put them in the correct order

This went on for about ten minutes...

Sarah and Lorelei were laughing the entire time...till they cried

After he stopped, they continued to laugh so hard they were crying...

I guess it is a good thing he does not do this every time she comes home...click on the photos for better views.

Still sewing a bit....

 One of my blog buddies, Mary, sent me more of her scraps...she sent me a box a bit back and I got several blocks from it.  This is what I have gotten from the current one, and I have not gone through it all.  She doesn't blog much any more but we still keep in contact.  

**************

Nothing much is happening...I am just trying to get in the habit of posting a little something every other day or so.

I will leave you with a pic of my other granddog....he loves everyone, but oh, man does he ever love Jeremy.  They had been gone over the weekend with drumline and this is right after they got home.  You can see that Gus is smiling, he is so happy.

Hello Blog Friends

 I have been meaning to pop in and do a little post for ages...I would like to keep this blog alive if possible.  Maybe one of these days I will get back to blogging on a regular basis.  

Gus was here for a visit when the above was taken...when it is Copper with him, they are never still long enough for me to get a pic of them together.  They play and play, chasing each other, etc.

Things are still going good, Roger has had no more falls since the last time I posted...and is eating more than he did for a LONG time.

I am still sewing, just not very much.

I don't have room to put any more Boxed Squares on the wall, but probably have close to 200/250 more if I am remembering right.  I stay busy...Copper can be very entertaining.  I have also got them spoiled to wanting me to go outside with them when they go.  Which is fine now...I love sitting outside but winter will be another matter.   My daughter says they don't like to stay out in the cold, so that will work out okay I guess.

That is it for now...hoping to catch up with you in the next few days.

When all else is impossible...

 When I cannot settle myself or decide what to sew, I can always sew crumb blocks.  The above crumb blocks are from the scraps my friend, Joy, sent me.  

I have also been making a few of these little squares...they are only 4 inches square unfinished...when they are in a quilt they will be 3 1/2 inches square. Again, the fabrics are from those scraps my friend sent me.

The exception is the center of the one below...

See that fabric in the center?  It is more than 50 years old.  It is from the dress I made in Home Economics back in the day!  It is still good...not rotten.  I would love to have a yard or two of it now.  I still just love it.

************

Roger seems to have settled down.  He sleeps longer without getting up and is staying up later than he did there for a long while.

I will leave you a shot of Jeremy with his new fashion accessory...

Lucky pups

 Oh, to be able to relax like this!  

And below is a couple shots, showing then and now....the day they brought them home and now.

Above is Wilber. and below is Gus.

They sure have grown.  Sarah has come up with an acronym for them...LDFL...Lap Dog For Life.   

*****************8

I finally chose a fabric for the sashing strips for my crumb blocks.  For those of you that don't know, the sashing strip is the strip of fabric that sewn between the blocks to separate them.  Sometimes you use them, but you don't have to.   I chose this fabric simply because I did not have to worry about having enough of it.  I have probably done cut two yards of it.  The sashing pieces are 1 3/4 inches by 6 1/2 inches.  And that is not enough to finish the quilt.  I have been sewing some to the sides of the blocks but have not take a photo.  

************

Roger is not fully back to  himself, but he is still better than he was there for so long.  This may be a new normal for him.  He has no interest in even going out to eat and that was always a fun thing for him.  He has had a headache this evening and that always scares me.  But his blood pressure was fine.

**********

The other day I went through my books and selected a bunch more to donate to Good Will.  I had a few by Pearl S. Buck, and Harold Bell Wright, and John Fox, Jr.  I doubt anyone here has heard of the last two.  I keep trying t get rid of things.  I wish I had the nerve to do a yard sale, but once I decide to get rid of things, I want them gone.

************

A video I came across...I think you will like it.

'Fur' your viewing pleasure....

Above, as you can see, Will has decided that he makes a nice centerpiece.

The pups at their finest...notice that Will is a blur of motion...could not have captured it any better if you tried...

Here they are resting with Jeremy.  

I don't think there are any pups anywhere that are luckier.  They are so loved and enjoyed.  I just want to hug and hug them, but when we saw them they were too alive to be still for too long...I did get to hold Will some.  But did not get my fill.

*****************

A recent make....

And I will leave you with a little video.  Be sure and watch the end part in slow motion.  It is not even two minutes long.  Also, if it comes up that you can't watch it in your country, try typing in the title in the Youtube search box, I have found several times when I could not watch a video, if I type the title in, a version will come up that I can watch.

Smile, or maybe laugh out loud...

 I am going to show you a few pics of the pups from the past few days....

All tired out...

Gus cracks me up...he must play soooo very hard

Wilbur seems to sleep in sane positions...

He just wants a quiet place to rest.

But this one below of Gus,,,

It had me in tears from laughing so hard....then Sarah said he was Bubbie reincarnated.  In the past year or two of Bubbies life, he slept with this head rammed into things...not quite this bad, but more on purpose.

************

I have did very little sewing this past week.  The Christmas quilt is just as it was when I last posted.  I do have fabric to make the binding.  And cleared off my cutting table till I can cut it.  It won't take long to make.  I had had a lot of stuff out...looking through things.  Trying to find that perfect fabric.  

It is pouring the rain tonight..a bit of thunder but not real loud or anything.  It rained last night, too.  But there was big, loud thunder that shook the house a time or two.  

*********

I have a video to share...a feel good video.  Going to attempt to embed it...

New kids on the block....

 Above Lorelei is holding Gus and below is Wilbur...they were going to call him Willem but Lorelei and Jeremy decided they like Wilbur better.  Wilbur is the name the rescue place gave him.

They were made to be hugged.

They are just so cute 

and loveable...  

We did run over to meet/see them this weekend.  Above, Gus is actually sleeping like that.

Above is their first night at home.

Thought I would post another happy post.  Stitches came out Friday.  You just would not believe how good my face looks compared to what it looked like right after the surgery.
