Friday Night Sew In…

Reporting in…

                      

This is what I got done before I petered out…

I just need to stitch a few more little areas and the first block to Settler’s Pride is done!!

BEADING with BEST of them~

Yesterday morning Sandy and I had a little beading party where we worked on making watch bracelets!  We found a shady spot right up against the hedge and tried to stay out of that hot sun.

My husband snuck up on us…see the bracelet is already on…

Sandy and I went to the BEAD SHOP the day before and when we saw a sample watch bracelet in the display case we said EUREKA- this will be our project for this year!!   Even better- it is so easy no lesson will be needed! So we each bought the watch part and the lobster claw clasps (we had the beads)….and we were off!

My beads are green, copper and brown fresh water pearls and went great with the copper coloured watch.  This picture does not do it justice…if I do say so myself!

Sandy chose a medley of copper and green nugget beads…she had one more strand to do.  Can’t wait to see it finished!!   It’s going to be gorgeous!

It has become a camping tradition to spend a day or two beading together on a project!  We both loved this years project a lot!!  VERY easy!  You need three or four strands of beads with lobster claws at each end.  Hook them on the ends of the watch and done!

Yes, Sandy and I will be fashion show plates when we get back home!

AND there was a HAPPY ENDING for this stray little dog who has been wandering around the RV Park for the last few days.  He was finally captured by our neighbour…there was lots of talk about phoning the Pound but someone said if the Pound couldn’t find a home they would put him down…(In Desert Hot Springs there are tons of stray dogs wandering the streets…or at least I think they are strays..so sad!)

Enter Dave who is a full time resident at our Park.  He decided that his little Chihuahua, Charlie needed a little brother.  Anyways here they are~ Charlie meeting his new brother for the first time.  I told Dave he should go with a Royal Family Theme when naming him…after all he already had a Charlie…  Dave smiled and said Harry was a PERFECT name for him…that way Charlie is still first in line for the throne!!

(Harry is the one on the leash, Charlie is slightly browner.)

Here’s little Harry after a much needed bath and sporting a new collar. Dave seems quite smitten with little Harry …and vice-a- versa.   Let the good times roll! 

And they all lived happily ever after!  Don’t you just LOVE a happy ending!!

Have a Super Saturday and Happy Quilting~P!
