Copper, and more...

 Copper had his operation(he was neutered) last week...he has to be kept quiet for a couple weeks.  It is kind of hard.  He is excited about the snow.  Add to that, someone across from daughter's back yard built a snowman and that ticked him off.  Which would be funny, but he constantly wants out to go bark at it.

Daughter had his DNA done...look what went into his breeding.

Look!  He is catching up to Delta in height.  I am not sure he will ever put on much weight.

I wish you could seen them....daughter will say something like, 'Delta, Copper, can I ask you a question?'  They run to her and look up at her espectently.  She will ask. 'Do you want a treat?' and they run to the cabinet their treats are kept in.  I don't know if she asks them other things or not.  But it sure is fun to watch.

I have been managed to stitch some every day of January.  The goal was at least 15 minutes a day of either sewing, or messing in the sewing room.  Only a couple days were just 15 minutes...most were well over an hour, and most of it hand stitching.  I would get more done, but have a hard time seeing at night...by lamp light.  And I have an ott light real close to me.  

Anyway, above are the few flowers I have made since the last time I posted flowers.

When I cut the hexies for the flowers, I do not cut one at a time.  I usually fold the fabric in such a way as to cut 4 to 6...using rotary cutter and rulers.  That leaves little bits of fabric.  Below I have sewn some of them together with no thought as to color.  

Of course, I added to them once I had a hexie pieced.

Notice that they are laying on a ruler...that will give you an idea of the size.

I am not sure what I will do with these, but it is fun to piece them together.  But so time consuming.

I also  pieced some random bits together.  More will be added to all of the above.  

I know this isn't much of a post but it will have to do for now...I hope everyone has a good week ahead.

A little post

  Roger and I each received one of these coffee cups from Lorelei's mom.  She got them from an artist in Little Nashville...which is what we call Nashville, IN.  It is so beautiful....but I do use it.  And every time I use it, it brings me joy.

I received this a few days ago...Copper's chin is resting on my daughter's knee.  He is wanting her to stop reading and pet him.  She said he is as tall as Delta.  But still skinny.  I think he will eventually add some weight but I am not sure.  We found a kitty that had been left out at the strip pits, and he was skinny because he had about starved to death, and remained skinny all his life.

I will leave you with this little video:

This and that....

 Just in case you did not find the car, here it is.

This has started blooming...it has two blooms open with at least four more to come.

Someone was talking about hearing from old friends they had not heard from in a long time...and I told her that would make my day.  

What do you know...maybe an hour later, I get a notice that I had an instant message from a FB friend...and she is an old friend I have known at least 40+ years.   so we caught up with each other...she was always one that we could work together in the kitchen, or just whatever.   It is strange how you can be good friends, but totally lose track of each other. 

I don't spend much time on FB...but this is the second friend to contact me in the past week or so. This other friend was worried because she had not seen a post from me in so long.

I have been doing some odds and ends of things this day that have needed doing for a long time.  I am weary this night...I have not sewn a stitch today.  But I will before the night is over.  So far, I have spent time sewing every day of this year.  I will be lucky to make it through the month of January.

This was a magnet that I had not noticed in ages.  It fits.

Cats do their best to train us...and do a pretty good job of it.

And for your entertainment, here is a video I found a bit entertaining.
