1,700 and counting

Mr Karate came over last night, that's why the couch is a bed taking up all the space in the living room. The tree is still not finished, but Mom assures me it will be decorated in time for the big day. I'm gonna believe her, because no matter how much I tease her, she always comes through for me. We got a little Christymas shopping done and we will do more this afternoon. I am almost finished getting my Secret Paws package together. I am hoping it can go out with the man in the bloo long johns tomorrow. Paws crossed.

Mom got a super special thing from the man in the bloo long johns yesterday. It's a picture book, as far as I can tell.Omigoodness, I thought she was gonna have a squee-fest she was so excited, but instead she actually got really really quiet when she turned to a particular page. You'll have to go over to her quilting blog to see what all the excitement was about.

Oh, that 1,700 thing? That's how many posts I have posted since I started blogging. Pretty amazing huh?

Fluffy Friday

Lookit these gi-normous snowflakes that fell yesterday morning while Mom was getting ready to go day hunting. Mom said there were many magical sliding cars while this was happening. Fortunately hers wasn't one of them.

Mom has been sewing the binding on her Alphabet Sampler Quilt a little bit each night. Here I am snoopervising her work and giving the quilt a QA inspection.I understand a stork will be visiting Monty Q's house later this year. I guess it wouldn't be a surprise to anybody if I said Mom is gonna make a quilt for this tiny bean. She already has big plans.

So what else is new?

Finally Friday

I'm checking out the Alphabet Sampler Quilt. If you want to see the whole thing, you'll have to go over to Mom's Quilting Blog.

Alphabet Sampler Quilt

Mom finished her Alphabet Sampler Quilt top yesterday. She was stuck inside because we had a half a Gizzy of snow! Did she spend time with me? Heck no, she worked in the sewing room. She didn't even go food hunting!

Do you think I'll get the attention I truly deserve tonight when she's back from day hunting?

I wish.

She says after she goes food hunting (she promised to get me some stinky goodness so I can't complain too much), she's gonna do her taxes.

What's taxes?


***(Note: Mom posted the wrong picture this morning, and couldn't replace it until she got home from day hunting. Sorry!)

Whatever She Wants Wednesday!

Mom has decided to extend the Whatever She Wants plan. This week she is only sewing what she wants, and she wants to work on these letters.
She will be making all 26 letters of the alphabet, each letter in a different color. She will make upper case and lower case letters with both black and white backgrounds, as you see here.

If she sews like a maniac she might be able to finish all 104 letters by next Sunday.

Anybody think she'll do it?

(Here's a hint or two: She sews the letters using a sewing machine, she thinks she can sew 5 letters in an hour and she is already up to the letter "H.")
