This is supposed to be Spring????

This is the craziest spring weather we've had in a long time.........tomorrow is June 1st & we could get a frost tonight with a possibility of snow in the Adirondacks. I am beginning to despair of ever finishing my yard this year. We had a week of rain & then Friday it got a little better but I ended up spending most of the day doing the flower beds at the golf course. Sat was an adventure as I thought Miss Molly's first obedience class was at 9:00 AM & I was taking her (Popster plays golf on Saturdays). I got her in my car & had to drive about a mile & a half but by the time we got there she was drooling & very unhappy. I had the date wrong.....doesn't start until the 13th DUH! Back in the car we went & she threw up before we got home. Cleaned her up & had to put her back in the car to go to the groomers...about a 6 mile ride. Of course she didn't make it so had to clean her up again & then leave her in a strange place - poor Miss Molly!
Then I drove right over to babysit Li Li for the rest of the day. She is such a sweetheart & we had a great time walking around the block & throwing stones in the storm drain..........it doesn't take much to entertain a 2 year old. Meanwhile Popster went to pick up Miss Molly & of course she got sick again.

This is her new look..........now we can see that sweet face!

Today we put her in the car several times & let her just sit there. Then Popster drove her to the end of the street & back just to get her used to it. Right before dinner we picked up our neighbor Ellen with her dog Katie & drove over to the park about 2-1/2 miles. Miss Molly rode there on my lap in the front seat but she was still drooling really bad by the time we got there. Both dogs had a ball running around but the trip home was just as bad. Hopefully we'll figure something out!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot. When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow. Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out. I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly. Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes. It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet. Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners. We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Today we have a riddle???

What do you get when you cross a pile of scraps, a sewing machine, a woman possessed, & a husband on a week long golf trip? The following......... This is a tablecloth for my kitchen table....forgot to take the finished pic Cover for my sewing machine...very proud of this as I quilted the whole thing. This is the back....got tired of doing squares! Matching cover for my serger. I meant to post these a while ago & must have forgot. I have done a couple other projects since then which I will get around to posting soon. Had computer problems so I have some catching up to do Love

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom. Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week. We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart. As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!! It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked. Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater. I don't want to be doing this again for a while! While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday. All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...
