Disappearing nine-patch table cloth


My latest endeavor, this is a small table cloth for my tea cart, made from a pattern someone sent me in an e-mail. It is called the Disappearing Nine-patch. I started out with nine 5" squares, sewed together 3X3, cut in half vertically and horizontally, then moved around whichever way I pleased. Fun and fast.

Camilla Wall Hanging


I've decided that I need some brighter colors in my bedroom - so this little wall hanging fills the bill.

AJ and Peanut


Here is a picture of AJ and our neighbor pooch, Peanut. She is a female and loves to harrass AJ in any way she can. He is getting used to her and we have explained that this is just how gals are.

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.
