Sales :) and Scissors :(

This is what happens when you leave your scissors where little mouths can get to them............

I found Izzy chewing on my good shears....darn her...how did she get them and why did she decide they needed some work on them...luckily I am right handed and I can put them on my hand and they don't feel real yucky!

I went to the airport to get Amy and while going down there I stopped at one of the fabric stores and found some great sale fabrics
Here are some of the pieces I got...these even go together :)

Oh...this piece is just too cute....might take them and cut them apart and make a couple of quilts instead of just one ;) Can't wait!

And here is just a small piece of fabric that will make its way into a quilt :)

These...wow...the camera doesn't show the cool color that they are. Ty Pennington fabric for pillowcases???? or maybe a cool boys quilt????

Another day another store...... :)
I got all of these at my local quilt store...........for 60% off....................WOOHOO!!!!!


here they are separated out.......hum...quilts or pillowcases

got these for pillow cases............

these just add to my stash..have lots of Robyn Pandolf and these will just add to them :)

A dozen minus one

Ok...so I topped my all time number of puppies in one litter this morning...well I actually had nothing to do with it other than be there to help first time mom, Reese, have her pups. Within 2 hours she had 10 pups and number 11 came an hour later and then she was done....or at least I haven't seen any more this afternoon, which is a very good thing. Three of them are very small so am keeping a close eye on them to make sure mom is letting them feed. Zoey has three of them that she is surrogating to help Reese out...well she probably doesn't think like that but I put three on her to help the little ones get some food and not have to compete as much.

Here they all are...YIKES!!!!!




Amended..........at 4 pm....Reese had another male puppy bringing the total to a full dozen...just hoping she isn't having a bakers dozen!

There is....................

..............a new "girl" in town
I got myself a new dog :) Her name right now is Amy but not sure that is going to stay...she is a deep carrot top red...gorgeous! The camera kinda fades her out and photoshopping this didn't help a lot but this is kinda her color

This one is much closer to her color..she is in need of a grooming but want her to settle in before I put her though that also...the black isn't black but her beard and feet are totally wet from running in the yard sniffing all the new smells

Love it when a sale comes together....

For Hannibal Smith....who remembers who that is???? I have paraphrased or repurposed that phrase so that it works for me.
The local quilt store is having a sale...and not just a sale....but a 60% off clearance fabric sale...dem is sweet words to my pocketbook....oh that dates me too...pocketbook????
So on the first day of the sale I got these

Stayed away on the second day of the sale...got this on the third day of the sale....there is new stuff added daily so I have to go check it out don't I????

Suzie (not quite) Homemaker

Got the baking bug today.....decided to try some different Chex mixes and zucchini bread without the added fat................
First the zucchini bread...............little bit on the flatter side...I also only added 1/2 the sugar figuring the applesauce that I added instead of the oil would be sweeter...
The verdict.....would add maybe 3/4 of the sugar, a bit more stuff to make it rise but add the applesauce again instead of the 1 cup of oil that the recipe calls for.
.
Basically a winner tho..........

Then the Chex mix.....top one is the sweet one made with Chex, some nuts and chocolate balls from Winco and round pretzel bites...will add the m&m's I bought too once it is cooled. Also added a couple of pineapple rings cut up to it...and have dried banana to add also
The bottom one is the original recipe with Cheezits added, the pretzel balls and peanuts. My husband should thank me when he gets these in his lunch ;)
