Whizkey Jack

On 26 December 2015 our sweet fur-baby Jack ran across the Rainbow Bridge to go play with all of the others that have gone before him.

He had a seizure at 11:30 pm Christmas night and was taken to the vet the next morning where ex-ray's showed a tumor about the size of a big grapefruit that was more than likely cancerous. Given his age (14 yrs.) and condition from the seizure and blood loss from the growing tumor we decided to have him put to sleep.  

He will be greatly missed, but will always be in our hearts.

Merry Christmas

Just wanted to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, may your day be filled with love and laughter, and a very Happy New Year.

From our cabin to yours.

 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Hugs, Sandy & Robert

Major Snow Storm

We had our first major snow storm this week and it dumped somewhere between  12 and 14 inches of the fluffy white crap.

The storm has passed and beautiful clear blue skies appear.

Montana isn't called Big Sky Country for nothin'.

Oh, how I just love all this beautiful fluffy white snow.......NOT!!

This is the most we have had in one storm since we moved here in the 90's.

That's it for today, so until next post .....

Happy Halloween

Wanted to make sure I wished everyone a Happy Halloween before the clock strikes midnight here in Montana.

And just in time for Halloween Lil' Batty arrived.

I paired him up with a few wee pumpkins to fly around.

Oh the joys of using up fabric scraps for tiny pumpkins. 

Batty is made from a fairly stiff piece of felt with yellow bead eyes and variegated black thread buttonhole stitched around the edges with a bit of stuffing for some puff. 

I have two other sizes to stitch up for a whole Batty family.

Take Care & Happy Halloween

A Prim Christmas Ornament

I came up with a small primitive style ornament to share with y'all.

"Prim Christmas Wishes"

This design should print out at 7 x 5 inches using landscape mode. I left space above the date so you can add your initials if you want. This one should be a quick stitch and would make a cute ornament, knob hanger, pin pillow or ..............

Here is a smaller version for those of you who have had trouble printing the other chart.
 

Here is the color way I chose.

I have a couple of other designs that I'm considering sharing but haven't finished them quite yet, so we'll see what happens. 

Well, that's it for today, need to get back out to the garden and finish pickin' the tomatoes so they can ripen inside the house and harvest and bring in the rest of the herbs. 

So until next post .........

Take Care & Happy Stitchin'

 Hugs, Sandy
