Quilting Block of the Month Clubs

So… fabric is my new addiction. I went to visit my mom for a couple weeks in April, and she let me play with her super fancy embroidery and sewing machine. I did a little sewing, a little serger-ing, and a lot of embroidery – now all I want to do is get on my new Brother SE-400 sewing embroidery machine and play! But I haven’t been able to set it up yet due to the remodel, and the fact that my office isn’t ready for move-in yet. But that hasn’t kept me from shopping for fabrics and patterns!

Now, I haven’t done any quilting, or appliqué for that matter, but I did sign up for the Block of the Month Mystery program through Shabby Fabrics due to the sheer enjoyment of this. There are several other patterns I want to create as well – as soon as I get my office put together and free time to work! Check out the Country Cottages Block of the Month Club – free pattern download or you can sign up for the Monthly Shipments with the coordinating fabrics, etc.

Pet Diaries

I am amused every time I read this. Just in case you haven’t read it yet I wanted to share it with you. I would say it is very close to my cats and dog; no bird though… :

Excerpts from a Dog’s Daily Diary:

8:00 am: Oh, Boy! Dog food! My favorite!
9:30 am: Oh, Boy! A car ride! My favorite!
9:40 am: Oh, Boy! A walk! My favorite!
10:30 am: Oh, Boy! Getting rubbed and petted! My favorite!
11:30 am: Oh, Boy! Dog food! My favorite!
Noon: Oh, Boy! The kids! My favorite!
1:00 pm: Oh, Boy! The yard! My favorite!
4:00 pm: Oh, Boy! To the park! My favorite!
5:00 pm: Oh, Boy! Dog food! My favorite!
5:30 pm: Oh, Boy! Pretty Mums! My favorite!
6:00 pm: Oh, Boy! Playing Ball! My favorite!
6:30 pm: Oh, Boy! Watching TV with my master! My favorite!
8:30 pm: Oh, Boy! Sleeping in my master’s bed! My favorite!

Excerpts from a Cat’s Daily Diary:

Day 183 of my captivity: My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and the mild scolding I get from ruining the occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant. Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while they were walking almost succeeded; must try this at the top of the stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair, must try this on their bed. Decapitated a mouse and brought them the headless body, in an attempt to make them aware of what I am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a good little cat I was. Hmmm, not working according to plan. There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in solitary confinement throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell the food. More importantly, I overheard that my Confinement was due to my power of “allergies”. Must learn what this is and how to use it to my advantage. I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely released and seems more than happy to return. He is obviously a half-wit. The bird, on the other hand, has got to be an informant, and speaks with them regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the metal room, his safety is assured. But I can wait, it is only a matter of time…
