I am not obsessed with my dog, though my husband and family might disagree...
Anyway, here she is with her friend Daisy, who belongs to my parents. Daisy came to visit the other day with my brother who was doing manly things like fixing the car and installing a new shower head. While I was busy I noticed the dogs had disappeared...where could they be? I found them on the spare bed (note the gorgeous Wallace Cotton bed linen)...Daisy, who is not allowed on the furniture at her house, seemed to show no guilt at being caught sleeping on the bed...and here is another one of them giving each other a kiss...
I did a bit of creating yesterday. I have an amazing sewing machine that arrived one day in the post...my darling husband bought it for me as a surprise. My old sewing machine came from a second hand shop and was purchased using the winnings from a night at the Dunedin Casino on the blackjack table...no, I am not a gambling freak...just a fun night out many years ago..SO...the new machine has so many features it is hard to know where to start and I have a million ideas and need to just play and make small quick things to learn to use it...anyway...I made a small fabric panel (leaf idea sort of borrowed from my sister even though she said no copying to anyone...but I am sure she won't mind for a dog toy)...and decided to add it to another piece of fabric and make a toy for Stellar...so here is it...pretty rough...
So..after abusing many crappy toys I have purchased for Stellar, saying things like, they must have been sewn up by a one armed blind person who was using spiderweb for thread due to their lack of robustness...I handed it over... it lasted only about 20 minutes...she carried it around for a bit, rested her gorgeous chinny-chin-chin on it and I proudly thought "she loves it"...then she destroyed it...nice.

That was a very cool dog toy. Maybe you should focus your attention on things for yourself though. More shouting at Miss Dog. She is full of energy, and her daddy and I had a date at 5pm for a walk, but he just called and said he is running late. Had a good day at work. Visited another teacher for an hour and got some great inspiration, which is always good. Love the photos! Big hugs and kisses XXXXX
I am very confused at how fangly dangly sewing machines seem to be with all their embroidery stuff - as I mentioned to Mrs PB. She told me it is freehand, which I guess it is with you too - but how did you get Stellar written so perfectly? Perhaps I am underutilising my Brother (although it is not a flash one). Are the little red and white flower things cut out of fabric and then sewed on?
I haven't seen the roselicious quilt in the spare room yet and it looks lovely. I am still undecided about the one from Ezibuy. I really would like to have a go myself - although it would take a long time. I need to investigate fabrics more. It is annoying that the quilting fabrics loaded on Trade Me don't tend to have gallery photos, so you have to go into every one.
Stellar and Daisy look gorgeous.
Hope you are feeling better today.
I am loving being a part of the family blogging (and part of the family) even if I am only making comments.

Hi M...you are part of the family now...whether you like it or not!!
Love having your comments...though I can't promise not to bore you to death!!
Flowers are just fabric cut out and randomly sewn. My machine does letters (so not fancy freehand!!), the rest is freehand but is a bit out of control!!
I hate trademe stuff with no photos...dumb, usually don't bother looking, takes too much time.
