CELEBRATING

 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?

  2. So 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!
