Dogs and Laundry
I am shaky today. My little Westie is undergoing exploratory surgery because she has been diagnosed with cancer of the bladder and they want to assess the tumor. I am rarely WOD (with out dogs)

10 days ago we took Patch into the vet’s for surgery and teeth cleaning (if possible). Patch had a couple of ugly bleeding tumors on his belly right near where the thin belly hair thickens into the coat on the sides. I have been waiting for the results of the histologic examination and they came [...]

Patch discovers the Fitting Mirror (from an old bathroom):
Soooo funny!!!
Don’t those ears look like Scooby-Doo?
He’s adorable.

We were scheduled to have major storms hit our area in the morning and afternoon: 1.5″ hail, possible tornadoes, heavy electrical storms. Impending doom! HusPartner was out [...]

One last non-sewing post, I’m just finishing up the commercial sewing today, for a while anyway.
Here’s one of my favorite things:
Wild Persimmon
Wind or rain is causing them to drop off the tree before they are ripe. I just love the mauve and spring green colors subdued with light [...]

I have a confession: I am a desperate gardener.
I used to have a green house. It was a half round, commercial build-your-own that spanned one side of my house on a side of the house that was elevated from the ground by 5 feet. The floor of the green house [...]

Posted by Mary Beth at The Stitchery
Mardel at SewDistracted tagged me weeks ago with this 10 Things meme. Reviewing life is weird and I’ve dragged my feet. But no longer, here goes:
WHAT WAS I DOING 10 YEARS AGO?

Wild Canoe Adventure and Vogue 8442
Oh, believe me, we didn’t plan on this kind of an adventure: we were looking for slow and lazy, being tired from the latest furniture deliveries and the 2 days of driving with a 20′ trailer through the traffic in Atlanta.
