February 2022 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

As I write this, we're having real yo-yo weather.  Yesterday was 17 below.  That's colder than the freezer in your house.  Somewhere through the night, it warmed up to 20 above.  Tomorrow is supposed to be somewhere below zero again.  No matter the weather, I have to be out in it to take care of my horses.  So....my husband gave me my Valentine's Day present early.  This is one of the sweetest, most thoughtful gifts ever -- a Milwaukee heated jacket.  The first day I wore it, 10 below zero felt like a summer day.  Even my fingers don't get cold anymore!  I knew he was a "keeper" the first time I met him.

While you're munching on your heart-shaped treats...Think Spring!  I start thinking about spring the first day after Christmas every year.

The Boo Update --

Boo wanted to show you "our" king-sized quilt I pieced together last summer using all Batik fabrics.  I could only work on it while he was napping or else fabric, threads and pins would be scattered everywhere.  Shortly after this picture was taken, he was curled up and sound asleep for the afternoon.      



Stay warm!  See you next month!

Happy New Year!  I have no idea what this year will hold, but I'm putting my best foot forward and hoping for the best.  Top of my list is to get more painting time in.  I also want to thank you for all the nice comments.  I sincerely appreciate each and every one.

Shhhh....Boo is sound asleep on the stool by the kitchen island.  I think Christmas and the week following really tired him out.  Me, too!



See you next month!

I was thinking of Boo when I designed this kit.  He noses around all the decorations throughout the house, but he especially likes the tree.  Great place to take naps!  I don't have a dog right now, but chances are good that at least some of you do, so I added Jasper to this mix :)

The Boo Update 

Boo decided it would be a good time to practice his unwrapping skills for Christmas morning while we were packing away all of our camping gear for the winter.  That boy loves string, paper, ribbons and bows, Christmas trees and an occasional ornament or two. 


See ya back here next month to ring in the New Year!

November Blog Train and Fan Freebie

I really love the deep, rich tones for this month's blog train.  Now, I realize that Thanksgiving isn't a world-wide holiday, but it's one of our favorite days for family, friends and food.  And, it means a 4-day weekend, too!

"But, I don't want to come upstairs.  Instead, let's play Chase....you're it..."

How...and I sincerely mean this...HOW did Boo know he had a veterinary appointment???  Needless to say, we were a bit late.  BUT...he gave the vet and her assistant a merry chase around the examining room when they were finished with him and needed to get him back in his carrier.  I  think Boo thought it was great fun!  

Boo just celebrated his 3rd birthday.  We got him a remote controlled mouse to chase around the house.  It's a riot watching him tear after that thing !!  It's like watching a "Tom & Jerry" cartoon....hahahaa!!  He loves it.


Happy Thanksgiving!   See ya next month!
