This post is for the dogs....

sorta :)  Cheryl dressed her dogs up as pirates and then past the buck on to me to do the same....well, I tried the kitties and they just didn't have no desire to be still.  I tried our visiting puppy (my son's and girlfriend's new dog) ---isn't he cute.....he's name is Linguine (both his new owners are chefs...go figure):



But Cap't Jack, our Mountain Feist dog took the challenge on and lived up to his name!!  He sat still as I took this great picture (of course having treats in hand helps a lot):



Yah for Cap't Jack!  Isn't he cute! :)

I spent yesterday home not feeling too hot, so I slept most of the day and finished a project I started on Sunday.  I had collected sunflower batiks for the past 2 years and finally found the perfect pattern!  It's not as big as I thought 53 x 73, but it's perfect.  The backing will be pieced as well with batiks so I can use all I have and not spend more money that I don't have :)  This is the Salt Water Taffy Pattern, but I used the 8 1/2" sized blocks (it's also in the free pattern):



Long day at work ahead of me, need to eat a good breakfast!

  1. Hi, Happy to hear you are feeling better. The doggies are sooo cute. Jack must have been on the same ship as my 2 dogs. The "Butcheeks" turn out nice, great use of left overs.

    The dogs are so cute! Grandpa holding the grand-dog looks like he likes the little thing. The sunflower batiks are so pretty.
