Awww...

Well, I had one night alone and I felt  SO lost.  I didn't have anyone to make an evening meal for, or to let out, and no snoring was heard either.  But the next day, the sun shone again and look who is here!


                                                 Meet girl 3, my first Golden Girl.


She is very Blonde, actually.  It seems she can't get enough of the teddy I found in an OP shop some months back.  I must remember that offering a teddy is a great way to make a new friend :)  I just handed her the teddy and she posed like a calendar model all by herself with no help from me.


She doesn't pay much attention to the camera or the flash.  She is trained to ignore distractions because she is a real working girl.  She has passed all of her training and only has a couple more months of training to go. Well done, Golden Girl!



                 She is nearly 6 kg larger than girl 2 but still lean and healthy. (girl 2 was a prem )




She is definitely a cuddly girl.  I have given heaps of tummy rubs and ear scratches already. Sweet....
                                          See how she has her back half flattened out.....



                Remember how girl 2 rested with her front paws in a rather odd position? 

                                               
                                                 Well ok then, whatever  you like.

The girl leaves for work in the am, so today while she is away, I  have been going through my fabric
stash. For current projects, I need Christmas fabric (not looking good for that), baby fabric, (plenty, just need to decide what), and white, navy and lime. 





I won't be using ALL of these, but this is what I pulled on my first fabric pass through.  I have a rather healthy fat quarter stash so I rarely need to shop outside my sewing room when I want to make something.   This will be a
Whirlygig quilt (as it is called in blogland), but mine will be renamed "Happy Dance Quilt".  Every time I see one of those quilts, I always think it looks like a happy dance more than a whirlygig :)




Last year, I had x-rays done and they gave me the films.  I am using them to make templates for myself and dear De.   These templates are for a block starting at 6 inches.  Can't wait to see how it turns out as this pattern is one I have never tried before (even though I have been quilting since 1973)  LOL.    Hope your day is good too! xx debbie
