More photos of my little love....

 Here is the photo of Mammy that I posted yesterday....isn't she so cute?  :)

 So this evening I went to pay her a little visit just to make sure we were going to "connect"...

Here is a few photos from our visit today.  She will be ready to come home on Monday...

 I didn't get any photos of it but she kept trying to climb and snuggle on my breasts and neck.  :) 

 I think she is already spoiled....she cried when I put her back in her playpen and Maggie sent me a message later and said she had been howling since we left.  I think she misses her mommy.  LOL! 

 You can see her cubby little neck in this one...we look alike.  LOL! 

 She doesn't whine...she grunts.  :)

 This is her little face when I put her down.  :(  How could anyone resist that?  She was saying, "mommy take me home now...and I need a doggie quilt." 

 I think I'm in love....I even cried on the way home because she is just too darn cute and I couldn't bring her with me.   I know that is sad for a 42 yr old to do that but I did.  :)  

Expect tons of Mammy photos in the future!

Quilts and Puppies...

 It's almost midnight and I just finished quilting this quilt.  It has been on the frame for a few days but I haven't worked on it much.  I was having some tension issues so I had decided to walk away for a bit before finishing it.  :) 

 It is a lap size quilt measuring 52x64 that I bought as a kit from Connecting Threads a few years ago.  It feels great to have another one quilted. 

 I'm thinking that next I will load a few bits and pieces of quilt that were never finished for one reason or another and make a few doggie quilts for this beautiful baby girl....

 Isn't she the cutest thing ever?  She will be coming home next week.  She turned 5 weeks old yesterday.  She is an AKC registered Bloodhound.  I've wanted one for years and the opportunity came about for us to get her.  Her name is..."Mammy"

A Busy Weekend...

 We had a nice but long weekend.  Friday we had some dozer work done on the property.  We had the driveway moved to a total different place on the property.  Our old driveway has you parking right in front of the house and I didn't want to sit on my front porch and have to look at the Jeep.  Silly, I know but we've wanted it moved for a very long time. 

 Saturday I took Hunter in town to watch the parade. Then we headed on to a baby shower and I gave the little stacked coins baby quilt that I quilted the other day.  Then we came back home for a few hours.  

Headed back in town for the evening festivities.  Here are a few shots of Hunter on the mechanical bull. 

 When Hunter was real small, Richard used to ride REAL bulls and Hunter loved watching him.  Always made me so nervous because those real bulls don't just stop when you fall off, they try to kill you. :)

 If you look close in this last photo you can see his hat on the left and his foot on the right of the bull.  LOL!  He finally fell off, but he had lots of fun.

 Sunday afternoon I made a batch of salsa.  It turned out really well. 

 While I had my salsa in the water bath canner, my burner caught on fire.  I had flames shooting from it.  I pulled the canner off and tried to get it put out with a pot holder but that didn't work because they were just too big so I grabbed the flour and threw it on there.  I finally got it out but my house smelled like burnt flour.  :( 

 I was just starting to get my kitchen cleaned up and Richard called to tell me that he shot a doe.  Archery deer season came in on Saturday morning here in KY.  So I spent most of the night canning venison. 

 My family loves it and we eat a lot of it.  I didn't get it all canned last night so I'm trying to get it finished up today.  

Last but not least, here is a pic of me and my baby.  ;)

 Have a wonderful and Blessed day
