Back to school for "the boy"

I took Joshie back to school yesterday..........but first we had to go to the bank so he could deposit his "loot"! He was very proud of himself as he had saved $668.00 in the month he was home for Christmas vacation (of course he worked almost every day!). We put the back down in my car to load everything in & when we got to Hermiker went to the local Walmarts to get him some groceries. Over $100.00 later(I know I spoil him but Nana's are allowed to) we were standing in the parking wondering how we were going to fit everything in the car with all the stuff that was already there. It was so funny as while I was putting groceries away back at the room another one of his roommates showed with his Dad & they had almost identical bags of groceries - milk, orange juice, cold cuts, bread & of course what every college kid survives on - Ramen noodles! I think he was happy to get back there again!

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

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 ...

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike. It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it. They start off very slowly....... then speed up a little...... which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash...... gradually she feels more comfortable.... then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!
