A little leaf clean up & Christmas decorating

The beginning of December is starting out a little milder than November was.

Jess & I took advantage of a warmer day to take some pics of the dogs for our Christmas card. Theses are some of the out-takes.

They are a pair!

I also had fun decorating the porch.

We had enough rain & warmer weather so we were able to get out & do a better job of cleaning up the leaves. It was very messy but we got most of it done. I don't ever remember having so much snow before the leaves came off the trees!

Not sure if this is leaf blowing or snow blowing!!!!

I have decorations spread all over the sun room & Gilly is having a ball playing in them.

This is what she does all day long!

She also found the step ladder to be entertaining.....there isn't too much that she doesn't get into:)

I love putting this on the tree every year......the first ornament made by my first grandchild!

Okay, let's check out what this is!

The tree is only decorated with the bare minimum of unbreakable ornaments as I don't know if Gilly will try to climb it!

I had to make her a Christmas stocking💕

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!!!!!

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
