Here's my beloved Fred.
He lost his best dog friend this week...
our dear rescue Lilalou
...sigh.
I just couldn't focus on the sadness.
She came from the shelter
with some issues
and over our seven years together
she completely healed (!)
and became a trusting, joyful, and loyal companion.
Time to celebrate!
I played in my scraps
and...
joy was found!
I also made some happymatts for Christmas.
I have three left that need a binding.
I am also working on my third lattice quilt
from the book Colorific.
So much fun going through my stash
and the visual pop is so rewarding.
I finally finished my Domestic Bliss quilt!
Whoop Whoop!
I was able to ask my youngest and his friend to hold it up...
because...
no school...
it's snowing!
(Not a common experience here in the Pacific Northwest.)
love
love
love
A new year is quickly approaching...
Any changes coming your way?

I am sorry you lost your buddy...time has a way of marching on and that's why we have to try to enjoy our time with all our friends each day. glad you found some happiness...my best to you during the holidays...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss, Stephanie. Our fur babies hold such a special place in our hearts, don't they? Your work is so very creative! And wasn't the snow fun today? My girl built a snow family and managed to get the sled moving down our driveway! So fun!
