Back Online

Rather wretched that I've not blogged here for so long.  Well, time to rectify that.  The fact is the sewing machine has been idle except for an occasional repair.   However, is this not a cute little girl all excited about St. Patrick's Day??!!    This was before breakfast and before her Kindergarten Assembly.  She and her class sang, recited an entire book they had memorized and then did a folk dance.  
     Our littlest dog had a run in with two larger dogs who got away from their owner out on a walk.    All is well now, Gracie will be fine and the other dog owners paid the vet bill.  But it was scary at the time -- She needed stitches above one eye and had puncture wounds in the opposite ear.  She had a broken rib and the vet told us that likely another bite and she'd be gone.  She slowed down for a bit but three days later was back urging Sneaker to play.
     We're proud of Sneaker who passed testing to become a Pet-Tales dog.    Apparently he's calm enough to be a volunteer dog and will be part of this program that struggling readers -- young children -- can read to a dog.  
     I'm hoping to switch into sewing soon.  One fun activity, though, was purchasing a Notions bundle from FabricMart Fabrics.  Oh my -- what a bundle of lace, buttons, thread and other items.  It was fun to sort through, decide what I'd keep and pass on.
