humans aren't the only ones...

 While pruning back my jasmine, I found the sweetest little bird's nest.  Do you spot the selvage?  Humans aren't the only ones who cozy our nests with pretty bits of fabric.  I think this one is Jennifer Paginelli Sis Boom fabric just in case you're wondering...

I have been a little absent here.  There are a few things going on.  One is spring fever (hence the pruning!).  I've been sewing some but unfortunately I can't show the fruits of my labor just yet...you know those secret projects people annoyingly talk about.   I will tell you that after my post yearning to make harder quilts I was promptly commissioned with a quilt with 1300 triangles.  Yup...me and my big fat mouth.  It was fun, though, and only a few hairs turned gray in the process.  Pics to come after Quilt Market *wink*.

The not so secret project is still this guy...
He is not as much work as I feared a puppy would be.  That's not to say he isn't a handful. He is 100% Scottish Terrier.  Short Dog Syndrome.  He is keeping us on our toes!   He already knows Sit, Down, Play Dead, Shake, Drop It, Come, & High Five.   He really thinks he is hot stuff.  I have no idea where he got that impression, do you??

  1. I put some fabric scraps out, after I trued-up a set of blocks. I'm not sure any birds have indulged, I hope they do. Your little guy is so cute. We have a Cairn terrier we rescued 10 years ago. He's great.
