Busy,Busy ,Busy

I've been sooo busy getting things together to work with Claire over the summer (sorta home schooling ). Actually it's been fun and I think I've got a nice schedule worked out for her. I will also be taking her to a program at the public library once a week, and she has occupational therapy out of town once a week. I am setting up a little area for her and have a desk and chair and I even got a really cute calender to hang up. As soon as I have it all together I'll take a picture to show.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend.

Did I say I Love Crazy Quilting?

I don't know what it is but its pure enjoyment and quiet therapy for me.. It helps me to concentrate on colors, designs, embellishments, and all the little things I love. I am making this for my great niece, she loves the peace symbol and I came across this fabric and couldn't resist. I just haven't figured out if I'll make it into a pillow or a wall hanging. I have a lot of work to do on it yet as I've only started the embroidery work ,but that's the fun of crazy quilting!

Everyone have a great week!

Furry Friends Friday

Raja wasn't thrilled with the terms of this meeting from Harvey our bunny, but I think Harvey actually enjoyed it!

Look what I found.

These are growing out of a crack on my patio! I can't believe it's November and I have Snap Dragons blooming! What a nice little reminder that beauty is all around us even in places we'd never expect. I hope everyone has a beautiful Thanksgiving.

Furry Friends Friday

My name is Raja and I came to live with my family in August of 2008. I am a white tri color rough collie. As you can see the collar in this picture even though a small one is still too big for me but my mom has it as a keep sake since I've outgrown it. I guess fridays will be about me and sometimes our bunny Harvey. I can't wait to share more of me with you!!

Nothing Much

Well the school year has started and we have adjusted pretty good, although I can't wait for the time change this weekend! Claire and I both have a bad cold but we're getting better, and I hope she'll be better by Halloween. I've been working on a crazy quilt pillow and will be starting a couple of brooches for gifts....(if they turn out) my sister gave me a pattern booklet by Judith Baker Montano on how to make them so we'll see. I hope everyone has a great week!

Puzzle Piece

I think I've got it! This is my first try at a puzzle piece, I really want to be in the exchange for these. I just have to find out what everyone is backing these with. It is such a wonderful idea!
I've been a little busy these last couple of weeks with Claire starting school and getting back into the schedule....especially for me, I am so not a early morning person ...yawn...I'm getting there but it'll probably take me a few more weeks to feel as they say Bright and Chipper! ( so not me,wheres the coffee?) Well I'm off to the book store to pick up a book..Everyone have a great week!
