Long Evenings....Cold Pugs...

Well a trip to the fabric store today I think has given me the kick start needed. Little Busy Issy needs a nice quilt to keep her warm in the evenings. Just like Olivia she loves to be covered up.....

Needless to say that silly store had major sale on and I think 1/2 the town was there!

Going to devote the next couple evening between coffee visits with friends to getting the sewing room organized again and up and running. Seems my cat loves to sleep on the cutting mat...........not the best place for him but he is happy :)

So The Busy Issy quilt coming soon.

Where does the time go...

Well summer is officially over and time to buckle down and get at it! Can't believe another summer has gone~and with a late start to it too! Hubby away next week........well suppost to be so we shall see.  The cat has taken over the sewing room with a great revamp to the look...........knocked over the sewing basket and played with the spools............

So more to come shortly..............not another 2 month gap!

Rusty me...

Ok it has been awhile since I have sewn....the weather, holidays and all have been a factor. 


We went to a pug picnic on the weekend and needed something to wear.........so last minute made up something....till 2 am sewing.........Eliott in boardshorts with frogs and Olivia in a 2 piece polka dot halter top and pleated skirt.

Unfortunately Isabella was in heat so stayed home...good thing otherwise could have been 3am!

The Lady of The Bend Bed....

Just been doing some dabbling for the dogs lol. Too nice of weather to be inside sewing alot so outside painting :)

What more could a girl want than a four poster bed with a lovely floral pillow? Painted rather shabby chic with black undertones and creamy light light pink.

Spent the last few days in our get away house in the Fraser Canyon and painted out in the sunshine :)

Time Keeps Ticking by....

Haven't done anything for awhile, weather has been so lovely crappy and just haven't got there lol...something like a writers block? Who knows.But when the weather has been nice I've been outside as much as possible.  Have some velcro to sew on tonite and just going to get at it! Dresses are heading up to the Okanagan this weekend to the Farmer's Market :)

But on a brighter note, my daughter had gone to Ikea and I asked her to look for a little mirror for the dressing room  kitchen for the pugs to admire themselves. And she found a great little one for them.

So time for the velcro to be sewn and hopefully back to the machine in the next week.

Smiles and sunshine.

Rain..........what rain.........another trip to the store :)


Ok the rain has just sent me on a  trip to the fabric store...........such devastation, coming back with Rain gear fabric! Not today but sometime in the near future.  Of course if the sun comes out, yes lets be optimistic shall we, I won't be sewing much at all. So on that note we know that there will be new surprises this week. Got some cute green too same as the yellow on the Sunny Day Dress, and some plaid!!! For the Olivia Kilt.
