Last night in my home office

Last night when I was working in my home office - I heard some wired dripping noises from the window sill. I got off the chair to see if it is raining and ohhh nooooooo......

that´s what I saw - snow...... again

Well - so I knew what I´m going to do in the morning - get up early to go outside and shovel some snow. It was heavy wet snow and underneath it was very slippery - so watch out where you walk or drive.

Horsi is doing better

After a second veterinarian-call yesterday and a couple more shots and more medicine Eboli is doing way better know. Fever ist down again but its hard to cool down her swollen leg when its freezing outside - the water tube doesnt work and where ever you spill water you get icy aeras. Well now I´m using 2 of those cooling-gel-thingy and bandage this around her leg + I ordered Eboli a new water- and windproof, breathable blanket, so she can be outside even if the weather is not so good and still be warm.

My Birthday-blocks I received 2008

Last night I took my birthday-blocks 2008 out of the box and start playing around with them. I need to get a idea how I will put them together - blame me that those beautys are kept in a box. I thought I would put the big block on point in the middle - but what about the rest??? Well I will sneak around them a couple more days and think about.........

Stars for Lina Sophie

This is part two what I did on my monday sewing - I finished the blocks for Lina Sophie. Gabi from the quiltfriends sent me two pics of Lina Sophie and Lina Sophie and her Mom - those are such beautiful pics of this little precious and lovely girl. Gabi is going to make a quilt out of the blocks she will or already has receive from the other quiltfriends-members. This will be a precious-moment-memory-quilt for Lina Sophies Mom.

Finally some sewing on Monday

On monday I had a day off because my Moms chemo-treatment. After 4 h at the doc place watching and listening to Mom sleeping and snoring (never slept this well during her treatment) - we finally got home. Cooked some lunch, ate and Mom went right away to bed and I went right away into my sewing-room.

I made two more blocks for the birthday-block-swap and for the last block of this swap I have to wait for my fabric-delivery. Didnt have unbleached muslin at home - and of course ordered some more fabrics so s/h is worth it - hehehe. So here they are.....


The gal who receives the log-cabin wanted civil-war fabrics. Well I never was really interesseted in those fabrics and I ordered a medley of it - they are cute and thats what I made out of them

This is my first Sue I ever made - I think it came out quite cute. I was thinking about how I will applique the Sue, needle-turn, zig-zag or the other I-dont-know-the-name-stitch. Since I´m a totally greenhorn in needle-turn I thought zig-zag would be the best choice for me. But I have to complain about one thing - why does a iron always make stains on white fabric??? It never does it on yellow or other light-colored fabric - always on whites. Now I have to see how I get the stain off.

Ja was krabbelt denn da??

Am Wochenende bin ich wieder schwerbewaffnet mit meiner Kamera durchs Haus gezogen um passende Opfer zu finden. Wen hat es erwischt - Bizkit - manchmal hab ich das Gefühl ihm gefällt es geknipst zu werden. Linst immer schön in die Kamera bis was anderes seine Aufmerksamkeit in Anspruch nahm

Neugierigerweise musste ich auch sehen, was mein Kater so entzückt anstarrt, dass er gar nicht mehr reagiert - also schwenkte ich meinen Foto Richtung Zielobjekt

Yikes!!!! Wo kommt die denn her!!!!! Aber wofür hat man schliesslich einen vierbeinigen Kammerjäger - voll vertrauen lies ich Bizkit walten..... und was macht diese vertrottelte Katze??? Spielt mit der Spinne fangen und sitzen jetzt beide in meinem Schlafzimmer und spielen wo möglich noch hide and seek - seh schon, da muss ich jetzt handeln - nicht das Bizkit sie zum Schlafen auch noch ins Bett einlädt....... da hätte ich was dagegen............

Sewing plans for Friday got changed by a sick horse

The whole week I was looking forward to spend my Friday evening in my sewing room. Well plans got changed by a sick horse. One of our horses named Eboli in the stable didnt eat anymore, acting like she is getting a colic - gave her medicine....... no reaction after 30 min. Tried to go for a walk with this horse - couldnt even get her out of the box, measured the temperature - yep it was about time to call the veterinarian. I thought it took forever until the veterinarian showed up but it was only 45 min. The diagnose is a udder-infection - she got some penecilin-shots, fever-reducer and something powder to mix under her food for the swollen udder. I was waiting in the stable until the medicine start working and it was 9.45 pm when I got home - no mood for sewing anymore.
