NeedleWorks Galore

This is my story. I love creativity - whether it be sewing, quilting, embroidery, knitting, photography, or nature. Woodworking has always interested me. I am a widow of two years who is learning to create a new life and a new me. I have would probably have a whole menagerie of pets if I didn't stop myself. I am a child of God, learning to live my life for him in a way that pleases him. I hope by sharing a bit of my day to day story, someone will be blessed.

When will that dog learn!

Roscoe ripped his ligaments in his hind knee last Tuesday. I was at work at the time, but from the look of the clothes hamper, I think that is what he had the fight with. Needless to say, he had to have Surgery on Thursday, by Sunday he had broken his stitches and had to go back in for new stitches. He is starting to do better, but I get to do some fun things to help him. I get to feed him his kibble by hand - can't get at his bowl with his cone head, then I get to shove three different meds down his gullet three times a day, and everytime we come to stairs, I have to carry him. He has the habit of sleeping on the bed, so which means that I lift him up, he settles down, decides he needs a drink, whines at me, I lift him down, he gets a drink, then I lift him back up again. This scenario goes on at least three times each night. I have tried to get him to sleep on his own bed, but nothing doing! Because his stitches had to be put back in, he will now be cone head for ten more days. On the plus side, he can now put a little weight on his foot.

I am going to pick up my new vehicle tomorrow and along with that, I will be picking it up in --you guessed it -- the snow. The snow was just nicely starting to go, we can even see a bit of bare spots, but after the next couple of days we will just see snow again. When oh when is this winter ever going to end. The geese are slowly coming back but no Robins as yet. Hopefully soon it will change. I have this "thing" that says once we have +10C (50F) the back of winter is broken. We haven't even been close yet.

On the creative front, I have almost finished a halloween wall hanging I found in the back of the closet and the blue scrap quilt is layered, so hopefully tomorrow or Thursday I will actually finish them. It would be nice to actually get a kink up on Sue's blog. For me that would be a big accomplishment. I have also been working on a cross stitch fairy picture for my granddaughters new room. The knitting also continues, however slowly. Wish I was retired and had a bit more time, though I shouldn't complain, I only work 5 hours a day and only Monday to Thursay.

Well, the dog is calling my name, which I assume has been changed from Jean to Whine. Wonder what he wants this time. LOL

Blessing Whine!
