Pots on the Wall


The blocks are back on the wall in my sewing room and I am finally working at putting the 113 little blocks into strips that will eventually be the sashing. I never was really sure that I liked the black fabric for the sashing and border but we agreed last night that it is the right choice. Very "putzy" work but at least I can now see some real progress.

Weather has turned much nicer here in Seattle and we are enjoying some sunshine. This morning we talked with the guy we've hired to move us to NM - the $$ makes me shudder but I guess I wasn't too surprised. We think he'll do a great job and the fact that he actually knows where our exit is off I-25 outside of Las Vegas, means a good deal. Doubt that too many other truckers would. Date is not set but it will be the first week of June.

Our remodel of this house will start Monday 20th... I'm the "go-fer" - good way to save money on that.

Happy Birthday to Levi - He's 8



Our baby is 8-years old today (15th) ... wow, how time has passed.... he's still puppy-ish so we have a hard time thinking of him as "middle-aged" in people years. I'm taking him to Mud Bay Granary today for a shopping trip... he always gets an N-Bone there... maybe 2 this time.

The First Family has a "First Dog" but like everyone else who is owned by a dog, we think ours is just as special. I have to admit that "Bo" is absolutely darling. The girls will have a ball with him.... and I think every President and First Lady need a dog... hopefully this one is better behaved than Barney was!!

Happy Birthday Levi!
