just a couple of pics...

Stoli helping set up my 'studio'!






















Spike chillin'...










Stoli modeling his new coat...makes him look like a vampire!

New raincoat!

Stoli doesn't like to go out when it rains so today while out shopping for birthday cookies for Spike (his 11th is this Saturday! He'd like Target gift cards please), I picked up this rain coat for Stoli...Doesn't he look spiffy in his new coat??!?....and yes, that is the new bed I made (first photo).....has an attached blanket since Stoli likes to be under covers...

Amanda's 30th birthday quilt

Material cache!

Flannels because the price was right!










Fleeces because the price was right!





Patterns because they were $1 EACH!!! Normally, between $13.95 and $16.95! CRAZY GOOD DEAL!!









Flannels for Amanda's blanket.

Birthday Dinner

Mom & Richard's birthday dinner....Bacon & cheddar quiche and Corn & potato chowder. The quiche recipe I got from the Food Network and I must admit it was a damn good quiche!! I think it was the mayonaisse. Yes, mayonaise. I've never made a quiche with mayo before but I can tell you from this day on I will!

Daddy's vino for drinking as well...red and white! :)

more bag

I don't yet under stand all the workings of Blogger...so when I sent pics from my phone they go one at a time - so this is T's messenger bag again, the outside view. The chicken (see post below) is in a pocket in the front. The bag also has a pocket on each side.

Got a chicken in my pocket...

This is the chicken button I sewed into the pocket of T's messenger bag...being on Happy Chicken Hill, it's only fitting.

Sew...what have I been up to....

Stoli being silly... Pillows I made to 'match' my quilt...

Quilt I made for me...

Spike and Stoli...how stinkin' cute!

Quilt for T...

Messenger Bag for T

Messenger bag I made...remember, if it has imperfections, that means it's handmade! :)

Inside of messenger bag for T

This shows the plaid lining...and the pockets...

Dog bed

Here is a dog bed I made - from a remnant of fleece that cost $5.16, extra from another remnant costing $3 and a down comforter I had no longer in use! It is roughly 28" x 42" - dog beds of this size usually sell for $50-$70!

Spot

Here is another little stuffed dog I sewed for a friend's son. I wonder how many of these I could make and sell and be able to retire....
