AJ the Pooch

Well, here he is - AJ - my new dog. Actually, he is not too new - AJ is a six year old Chihuahua/terrior mix. He is about five pounds overweight, not leash trained, but a sweet mild mannered pooch - so far, he has shed all over the apartment, cried constantly and for the last few minutes, finally fell asleep - I will keep working with him - he came from DS#2 and belonged to one of my grand daughters who lives around 60 miles away in Newport Beach.

Newest wall hanging

So here I am, back in the sewing mood again. Just finished up this little wall hanging (got the idea from one hanging on a neighbors door). Thought I would try the French Country colors that I find so pretty. It still needs a ribbon bow at the top, but thought I would post it anyway.

Reader Cover

Here are some pictures of the SONY pocket reader cover that I made today - the reader is wonderful, as I finally can read the newspaper at my leisure, in my recliner. We cannot receive newspapers here at the Old Folks Home, as my building is a secure one and they leave the newspaper outside - where little gremlins pick them up and take them away - away - away.

Peanut the pooch

This is my neighbors sweet Chihuahua - Peanut. I just love her to pieces. It was her bedtime and she gets really sleepy.

Christmas Ball 'snoods'

Saw something similar to this, only made with beads - not being a big bead fan, I decided to try and crochet these 'snoods'. I set my camera to portrait, but still haven't been able to get a clear picture.

Halloween Tote Bag

I made this tote from some fabric that one of my dear Quilt Workshop gals gave me - I fell in love with it on first sight. Hope you can make out the cartoonish people in the fabric - they are priceless.

Long time no post - Pumpkins 2010

It has been so long since I have posted on my blog - these pumpkins are sewn from a pattern in SewNews magazine - thought they turned out fairly nicely.
