We Are Getting Better

It has been almost three weeks since Rockers went to Puppy Dog Heaven and we are starting to feel better.  Bronwyn and Mike were here two weekends ago and they left Pashy here, which is great for me.  Especially, because I discovered she has this teddy bear that I love!  Janet left it in the basement after we returned from PDX and when Bronwyn was here she told Janet Pashy loves it.  Turns out, I think it's fun too!

We dust it up in the backyard, big time.

And then need to take a rest.

I introduced Pashy to something new....kelp!  Now she is always on the hunt when we go to the beach.

The kindness of people never ceases to amaze us.  In addition to Sharon making a donation to the SPCA in Rockers name, the people that live around the corner from us, Keith and Carolyn brought a beautiful card and plant. They had a super doggie named Buddy that passed away about a year ago.  Buddy was well known and loved in our "hood.  Lots of people have called to say how sorry they are.

Janet finished her baby quilt and has been going to Sawyers Sewing Centre on Thursday afternoons to attend a class where you bring your own project and there is an instructor there to help you.

Janet is pretty proud, but says her mitered corners need work.

And now, she goes it (almost) alone.  She bought this fabric on Maui with a pattern.  It would appear that Janet is becoming a specialist in choosing patterns that are well beyond her skill level.  Thus far, the free pattern online for the baby quilt had the most complete directions.  Karen helped her cut out the first 1/4 yard of fabric and Janet did the rest on her own.  Due to several missteps there is a lot of "design element" involved in this project.
