April Giveaway: Travelling Treasures

 

 

A few months back, I was the winner of Melody's monthly giveaway called "Tuesday Treasures".

Dear Melody sent me a pattern for a needlecase, a fat quarter, a doily,  and some pretty cream coloured linen. Yeah! Some fun mail!!  After I made the needlecase, the idea to share the pattern came to me and this is how
Travelling Treasures came to be. 

Most of my mail is NO fun at all, so I thought it would be nice to send the pattern on  to  a stitcher along  with another pattern and a fat quarter and a little goody too (some cream lace, in this case).  I love to get a squishy parcel every now and then to cancel out the regular icky mail.  I had a chat with Melody via email before proceeding  and she was ok with my idea and has been really supportive ever since!

This swap is a little different because you don't have to make anything to send to a partner.  It is budget friendly and  you can read more about it HERE.   My hope is that we can keep Travelling Treasures going as a once a month giveaway.  If you haven't entered  yet, please pop over to the link I just posted and leave a comment for Melody.  It really is that easy!  I believe Melody will be choosing
the next person on Monday, so you still have one more day to enter. Please tell a friend too. Melody is happy to post anywhere.   Have fun and good luck!

Adventures with the girl

Friday morning, I had to take the girl to a vet appointment.  I was nervous about getting her in the car by myself.  My home has 7 stairs leading up to the front door and I  have to close the main door and a screen door when I leave.  This was my first time leaving the house with her and getting her into the car.  I was hoping she would listen to me well because she is so  healthy and very strong.

 

She waited patiently for me on the steps as I closed both doors.  She went in the car with no drama and she rode quietly to the vet.

Once we got to the vet, she was a naughty girl!  She was very excited with my trainer and the vet too and never did calm down.  She had a full health exam because she is going to her new forever home next week. Now  I have to give her a tablet and put 1ml of medicine in each ear once a day for a double ear infection.  The tablet is easy, the ears will be a challenge though! 

About half an hour ago,  I let her out in the back yard.  She just met the cat next door for the first time.  There was lots of barking and weird, creepy cat noises.  They were nose to nose at a chain fence. 

This just might be our main excitement all day!   I couldn't help but have a good giggle at their meeting.   It's now Saturday morning...she is getting picked up 6am on Tuesday.  I plan to enjoy this lovely girl every single minute that we have left together.

It's a GIRL!!

She has a shiny black coat, four legs, and a cute tail. She weights 28kg, and that is almost 62 pounds.

She has the most amazing manners at feeding time. Good girl!  She is housetrained and very calm.

Our first night went well.  She slept in her bed and she only snored a tiny bit.

She is calm and easy to look after.  She follows me everywhere though!

She is on a strict diet, but she is allowed a treat.  She came with her own jar of peanut butter that I can dip her Nylabone into.  She loves it!

She will be with me for one week, and then she will go to her new home.  I am a very happy girl.

A conversation I overheard this morning:

 My street has lots of school traffic twice a day.  Two girls were going by as I went to my car for something. They looked around age 10-12 years. One girls says to the other "You know yesterday  when  you said you had asthma in your armpits?, did you mean eczema"?!    Second girl replies "Yes, I meant to say eczema, not asthma".
