The puppies were born! Last night, L had to take momma to the vet to deliver the babies. The first baby was breech and the second had its front legs in the wrong position. Poor momma had a very hard delivery but everyone is okay :o) There are two males (one red and one piebald) and three females (two reds and one piebald). I got to see pictures of them already and they're just butterballs. L said I could come over sometime next week. I can't wait.
This past week, I did a bit of finishing. Do you remember the Stitch To Win (by The Prairie Schooler) that I stitched? Well, I found some fabric that I think goes very well with it. I made it into a pinkeep/ornament and it's on the fabric that I used for the back of it -
Of course I couldn't find any breast cancer fabric to match but I'm happy with this compromise. What do you think? And here I have it pictured with my new pumpkin jar that I bought -
Pumpkins are popping up everywhere because DH bought me this light -
I luv it :o)
On Monday, DH and I went to Lunenburg and I found a shop there that is going to carry my pictures :o) She was very impressed with them and took 15. It's on a consignment basis but at least I have my work out there. I did get some disheartening news last night though :o( I had applied to get into a craft co-op but since they only had one spot (I didn't know this), I didn't get in. I am doing some research about opening my own shop online so we'll see what happens.
Tomorrow I'm driving to the big city to meet up with DH. He's been there training and I guess he's got a really nice suite so I'm going to be staying there for a few days :o) I figure I might as well take the opportunity to relax. I've got my stitching already packed and I'll be bringing the computer as well. I'll also be driving to Moncton and back on Sunday so I can celebrate my grandmother's birthday :o) Unfortunately travel is not as easy as it was before.
Anyway, please remember to enter your name in my Blogoversary/50,000 Hits giveaway! Just scroll down a little bit and you'll find all the details there. And remember, I'll be drawing the names and announcing the winners on the 29th :o)
Btw, check out Tammy's Blogoversary drawing that she's going to have! There are some awesome prizes there :o)

I love the pumpkin decorations. They are cute, but I bet not anywhere near as cute as those puppies!
WOOHOO getting your pictures out there. Are you listing them collectively anywhere on line and I've missed the convo?
Woo hoo for puppies! That is wonderful!
Those pumpkins are cute! Have fun on your trip
I like the fabric. It enhances the design.
Beautiful finish and the fabric matches very well. If I see any BCA fabric I'll know who wants some.
Your new pumpkins are so darling!
Holy cow! NEW PUPPIES!!! I've never seen one-week-old puppies before...have fun cuddling!
Hi Cathey,
Your little PS Stitch to Win is
so sweet and I think the fabric
that you chose to back the
finished pinkeep with is just
lovely and a perfect match for
the design. Love the pinks and
the blues together.
I love your pumpkins!! Are they
both ceramic?? The bright orange
one is my favorite, but the
more countrified one is very nice
too. Can you believe it's Fall
already?? I think I'll put out
my Fall decorations this weekend.
I'll bet those newborn puppies
are just adorable. Is there
anything sweeter then puppies
and kittens??
How exciting that you are
having your pictures sold in a
couple of venues now. It's too
bad about the craft co-op but
I'm sure that other opportunities
will come along.
You're most welcome re: donation
to Humane Society in Brie's name.
I know and appreciate how much
Brie meant to you, and what a
wonderful little dog she was.
I know how awful it is to loose
a beloved companion and the hole
it leaves in your heart and your
life and your home. I just
wanted to do something to commemorate Brie's life. And to
let you know that I was thinking
of you at this sad and difficult
time.
Hugs. Judy
Cute pin keep, love the pumpkins.
Enjoy your time away. Can't wait to see which puppy you get :)
