A Playful Friend, A Pencil Case, and A Good Read

Yesterday, despite the below zero temps the sky was blue and I got to play with the neighbor's puppy, Shiloh. She is such a sweet gal with a never-ending supply of energy. After fetching the ball for about 20 minutes she decided to cool off a bit.

Voila! A dinosaur of a sewing machine..............


I recently moved my "playroom" from one floor to another in our home and hadn't gotten it unpacked until last week. It was quite a project for Dear Husband, entailing several trips to Radio Shack, computer stores, and back to the sewing machine store.

It's such a great machine, but it seems the company would rather sell you a brand new machine rather than update the software for the old.

I made a couple of little birds last week but forgot to photograph them before I gave them away. After playing with the dog I decided to make something else so I decided on this:

And now for a good read......... I just LOVE this book!
