EASTER IS COMING SOON..CHECK THIS OUT

I just listed these 2 Easter Baskets in my selling blog..Just click on the link to go there and see more pictures too :) I will be back in a few days with some more groupings so come back often :)

Got some more stuff finished

This is what I have also been working on this past week. I enjoy making theses little Chickens. I will try and get some better pictures tomorrow and list them in my blog plus the Chocolate Bunnies I also enjoyed making the eggs out of a cutter quilt..they have a strip of primmed cheese cloth tied around them and a rusty bell pinned on

The Chocolate Bunnies also have some primmed cheese cloth tied around their neck with a rusty bell pinned on. I love the smell of these when primmed. The Bunnies have also been painted with brown acrylic paint

They would look so cute tucked into a basket or on a shelf or in the middle of the dining room table maybe in a bowl.

All the chicks have been primmed with my own recipe and have tiny black shank buttons for eyes. I have painted the beak with orange acrylic paint and a button sewed on each wing.

I also have another quilt finished and this one is traditional with batting in the middle. I went to lay it on the bed in the guest room to take a picture and my kitten Anndarie was laying there. I thought if I just put it over the top of her she would move...nope she didn't move so the raised spot you see at the top is a kitten under the quilt :)

I have quite a few other squares cut for quilts but need to go and buy some more batting and some will need a special fabric but that's O K..I have over 9 months to get them all finished :)

Check this out..got 7 finished

I started right after Christmas making quilts for my Family to use when they lay on the couch to watch T V or maybe just to take a nap..First I made a king size one for our bed but it is King Size and will have to take it to the Laundromat to was and dry . This is for my GD Ashley and she likes Dogs..I am not real good at embroidery but I stitched the names on each on I have a few pieces left over and will make a little dog bed for her little dog out of it

This is for my GD Jennifer...she gets cold real easy and she likes Kitties and will be making her a bed to match for her Kitty

This is where I stitched her name..it is on a square made from corduroy

All my raggy quilts have 3 layers and for the bottom layer of Jennys I used a quilt and has the batting to keep her extra warm


This is for my 4 yr old Grandson Gavin and I used mostle 12" squares for his

Some of the squares are a lt washed out looking denim

I wanted to use the scraps so I mad some 9 blocks and some 4 blocks that are the same 12" when sewed together. He has Autism and likes real soft stuff so I put a real soft fabric on the bottom. I even used some squares of chenille and it has some prints with aquarium fish..He likes bright colors

This is a close up and I like the way this one turned out

This one has mostly nature prints and has flannel on the back..I took all the pictures in my guest room with 3 lights on and curtains open but could not get a real good pic of this one..It is for my 1 DIL

I used a light color square to put her name on and even after washing and drying it still has some lint on it

This is for my son Mark and he is married to Kelly and they both love nature...especially fishing

His name square turned out pretty good

This one is for my son Jimmy and has some print with a camping theme

The picture of his didn't turn out real good either and I don't know why..They all look better than what the pictures show

This is a nice warm and cozy one for my son Troy...he gets cold real easy and I used a blanket in the middle for his..It was way more work than the others but I think I might make some more with a blanket in the middle

I wasn't happy with the way his name looked so I added a heart on it

This is the lint I took out of my dryer every time I dryed one and this is only from 4 of the quilts


And this is what I did with all that lint..Will hang it outside in a tree where I can see it out a window and see if any birds come and take some through the holes to build a nest. I will take pictures and share them.

I think I am going to take a break from Raggy quilts for a while and work on other things...I have 10 months till Christmas.

My Husband clipped every one of the quilts for me and without his help I could not have got this many finished.

I have a friend coming down next month to visit and she will take all these back with her to my sisters to store until Christmas...no way could I afford to ship quilts and I still have a bunch to make :)

NOW IT'S MY TURN

O K..Now it's my turn..Mom is always talking about those huge Pups that are always bugging me...Just look at this picture of me when I was a Pup...I was 10 weeks old when I was delivered to Mom and dads house in 2003...the day after Thanksgiving..
Mom made me this cute little collar cover and they bought me a real nice crate (ha ha.that only lasted 1 night and then I got to sleep with them right on top of Dads pillow :)
My real name is Princess Bianca Huggins and they even paid for my papers and then they had me spayed. Mom said after giving birth 9 times she just didn't have the heart to have me bread just to make some money :) I kkep going in maggie and Callis crate so Dad thought he would be nice and set my crate back up for me...I don't think so Dad..if you like it so much then you go in it :)

I will hust continue to go in maggie and callis crate when ever I feel like it..A lot more room in it

This is me and my sister Annie (We are both American Eskimos but we look a little different...Annie has thicker hair and she weighs more than me even though I am 4 months older than her. They got Annie to keep me company and so I would have someone to play with. Annie was born in Jan but came to live with us in April when she was 3 months old. She is kind of shy but when she growls at the pups they just stop and lay down right on their backs...When I growl at them they just ignore me...Aren't we just so cute and special?

Dad took me for a ride one day and let me out at a farm where they had cows...I thought it would be kind of cool to roll in the cow do do..mom was pretty mad at Dad when we came home......

and she made him give me a bath outside...I do not like baths

Annie was even worse than me..she smeared her face in do do and red dirt..she had to have a bath too

I do not like having a bath in the bath tub either and I run and get up on the back of Dads recliner and I just want them to stay away from me
Here I am protecting my big rawhide chew that I got when Mom had a BD party for the big obnockious pups last April when they turned 1...we all got some ice cream (sugar free of course) and a nice big rawhide chew

This is me and Annie in our house we lived in before Dad retired. I don't know why they just didn't stay there and forget about moving south and getting 2 more dogs. I guess they must have had their reasons.
Annie kind of like Calli and likes to lay by her sometimes...Calli is sweet most of the time and not as wild as Maggie :)

Mom and Dad took us on a vacation in 2008 to Northern WI and we stayed at a nice Motel with a little patio right out the sliding doors...but of course Annie found some mulch to lay in
They just don't understand that I was here first and ALL the little plush toys are MINE

Don't anyone come near me now..I am about to hide my favorite toy so none of you can have it :)

This is me and Annie laying in our yard in Northern IL..Aren't we the prettiest dogs you have ever laid eyes on?

This is Annie laying out in the snow a few years ago and out human sister Nellie took this picture (I think Annie is nellies favorite) but thats O K cause I am Dads favorite

I sleep and lay down to rest in some very weird positions..I make Dad laugh when I lay like this.

I LOVE laying on a pillow and I get in bed every night and Dad and I share his pillow

This is my Human sister when she came to visit and gave me and Annie both a bath. Mom says giving us a bath is a lot of work because we have such thick hair

We used to have a bay window in our other house in IL and we loved laying in it. It faced the street and there was a Church next door to us and we would greet everyone when they came to Church

And weather they like it or not....I will still lay in Maggie and Callis crate whenever I feel like it and I am NOT letting them come in when I am in there.

Next week Mom is planning on taking us all to the vet to get our shots updated..I am not going to like that 1 bit but maybe they will buy us some ice cream if we behave :)
