Don’t you love weekends?

I love weekends, and I love them even more when I don’t have plans.  I spent Saturday working in the studio and watching my favorite TV shows.  I’m working on my next block of the month and I’ll give you a little hint;  it’s a Christmas quilt.  Ahhh, you may think you have ENOUGH Christmas quilts.  I’m here to say this is not possible and I hope I can entice you into more applique.   There’s another little critter I love to draw almost as much as a bunny.   I’ve kept it a secret for a long time and I hope I see some smiles when you see it!  :>)  I love Christmas and I’ve been wanting to design this quilt for awhile, but I just had to wait for the perfect fabric to come along.  Thanks to Moda Fabrics I found it! 

Mooch loves it when I’m drawing.  She  makes herself comfortable right in the middle of my work.  Her favorite thing to do is lay on my drawings batting my pencil and  eraser onto the floor.  Good thing I love that cat.   And to think she’s covered up my drawings for these pictures!  She knows when she has to keep a secret!

 

 

As for Bitsy, she might be old but she has the blood work of a young dog.  The vet can’t find anything wrong.  She still won’t walk unless she REALLY wants something, or forgets that she can’t walk.   I’m actually carrying her on walks now, thinking the entire time how silly I am.  Chelsea and I walk while Bitsy is carried.  She does however, occasionally want down to sniff a bush or do her business.   She gets her teeth cleaned on Wednesday and then she just might be in better shape than me!  Don’t you wish you were a Bunny Hill dog?  I guess when you’re 14 1/2 in dog years you can pretty much get anything you want.  She looks at me with those eyes and I melt. 

My huband is getting better every day.  His right thumb still hurts at the knuckle.  Seems that was the most painful bite.  He did happen to pick up a pair of leather gloves to keep in the garage just in case. What can I say?  At least he has gloves now. 

As for the rescue kitty, I’m sorry to say it had to be put to sleep.  It’s back legs were severely infected and they think it had been run over by a car.  It was really in bad shape but at least it’s suffering has ended.  It didn’t have rabies.  Say a little prayer that it knows it was loved at the end.

Hope you are all having  a great weekend.  I forgot I have to get that darn laundry done today.  I hate doing laundry and I hate folding clothes.  If you have a way of getting out of doing laundry tell me now before I start!

Hugs,

Anne

    Hi Anne,
    Maybe Bitsy has arthritis. The Glucosamine really works. My Grand-dog has bad hips and it has done wonders for her..she loves to swim and hike with her daddy.
    I have a million dollar ten year old poodle, Babette. Since she is a diabetic and has cushings. Shots and pills twice a day. She doesn’t like to walk either, because she is blind and is afraid. I carry her out put her down she does her business and then stands to be pick up again…This has been going on for over a year now… I’m getting very good at it now. LOL We certainly love our animals..

    Hug your husband for all of us. He is very special. I’m glad he is getting better.
    Working on finishing the baskets….love, love, love your work.

    Hi Anne:
    It was better putting that kitty to sleep than having him suffer alone somewhere. Hint: tell your huband that before he puts those garden gloves on to squeeze each fingertip of the gloves. Do this just in case a spider has gotten into the tips. I am so glad he is getting better. I do hope your next pattern is with kitties…
    Love,
    Mary

    Hi Anne,
    Thank you for your kind words about my dearest Barney, little Bailey is at my feet, but whilst he won’t be a replacement, I see so much of Barney in him!
    What a time you have had with your animal friends, I used carry Archie my Shih Tsu on walks so know just what it’s like, I am sure they know we are worried about them, your kindness to the puss cat won’t go unrewarded, they come into our lives & light it up, albeit for a brief moment, do hope your husband feels much better soon.
    Hoping your weekend goes well, Regards
    Yvonne NZ
    ps: I just hate laundry!!
