Guarding the Flock

While working on a few little things around the coop I had the opportunity to take this picture. 

With Rudy and Midnight watching over them I am hoping the "girls" will be safe from harm!

Off to make more relish and some B & B Pickles.

Hodgepodge

Thought I would share a hodgepodge of photos today..........

The fur kids

Midnight thinking of the nice BIG  puddle he is going to make on mom's floor!

Hunter in the background guarding our snow.

The goings on in the sewing room........

I've been plugging along on the applique for the Feb. Fat Quarter quilt.  Tomorrow is our monthly meeting and I need to decide which one I will do for March.

The Civil War Chronicles, these are January and February blocks, the four corners will be March's blocks. 

This is the fabric for March, some is new and some is leftover from January.

I also finished the curtains that I was making to match a quilt I made for a sweet little girl......

Here is one of the two valances.   I also made a pair of bottom tiers to go with them, they were made with the pale pink fabric that is in the valance.  Sorry that the photo is not the best.



I have also been working on the Garden Basket quilt, I have one done (shared in a previous post) and have two more that I haven't started and will get two more at the beginning of March.  There is no rush for this project, but I would like to get "caught up" if I can.  

Here are the last two blocks that are pieced for Green Piece, now I have to piece the border and finish the wool applique then put it all together, sounds so quick when you type it out, LOL!

Today"s snowy weather should help me to continue plugging along on these UFOs, my hope is that I will get caught up on all the BOM's that are behind......but you know me I'm always looking at the next thing I want to do, LOL. 

Have a great day!

Fun In the Snow........

We weathered another snow storm, went out several times to clean the front ramp.  I also snowblowed a path to the chickens, it was "refreshing" to be outside in the blowing snow, LOL.  Here are some photos of the view from my sewing room........

This one is the snow from the roof (we have a metal one) it is slowly sliding down and curling towards the window.  It will probably completely slide off when we get some warmer weather, it won't be long now, I hope. 

Enjoying the weather.....

 Midnight usually leaves "puddles" when he comes in on days like this.

Hunter, thankfully the snow doesn't cling to him as much! 

I have to say that I was a bit "lazy" today, other than the above mentioned work I only cut the fabric for the Civil War BOM.....maybe tomorrow I will get to sewing.

Oh No You Don't...

Well I'm inside waiting for the rain shower to pass so I can go back out and try to finish something. Hopefully I can finish the deck but not sure if the wood will dry. Thought I would share a picture of one of my four-legged children, his name is Midnight (I know not very original for a black dog) and he is a Newfie. He is just over a year old and joined our family last June. We also have a German Shephard named Hunter, he is 3 years old.

Earlier today Midnight wanted to get on the bed to play and this is the cute face that looks at me saying "can I
play on your bed?"
This is the look I get when I say NO, get down. Reluctantly, he got down and I'm sure he will try again later.
