Ms Grundy again

While I slept late this morning, my dog ate my knitting, my knitting needles, two cross-stitch Christmas ornaments, and a tatted, beaded ornament. Even though it was my own fault that I left my workbasket open, I am still furious at him. He is going to stay outside for a while. Once before I think he ate part of a knitting needle. That is, I never found about a third of one... This time the needles were made from bamboo skewers, and were so mangled that I couldn't tell if any pieces were missing. Neither the wood nor the bamboo would show up on xrays. The first time, we took him to the vet, because he became lethargic. But it turned out that he had twisted his back and had a pinched disk. After muscle relaxers and pain meds he was fine. So we will watch and see if he has any symptoms.

  I recently rejoined Stampin' Up as a demo. I love making cards, and I love SU supplies, tools, and stamps!

I have been busy

Just went through some older, smaller clothes, and found five three-quarter sleeve and one long sleeve shirt that I can wear again. Also bought one 3/4 sleeve shirt recently, so my fall/winter wardrobe is looking up. I made two blouses recently, but they are short sleeve. They could be worn with sweaters, though. I have put on a couple of pounds lately, and don't like the direction I am going. I have to get back to exercising again. But I AM smaller than I was, so I won't let it get me down.

My son and daughter-in-law are moving from Alaska to their new base in Florida. They are driving, and will be here for a couple of weeks. They brought a friend. My granddaughter was complaining that he was naked, so I dressed him in my grandson's clothes. I like that the shirt says "Surrender"! We are getting our ceiling repaired, and so far, the alien has startled two workmen and scared my daughter-in-law's nieces.
