Me And My Dog

Today I'm thinking of my Indy. He's my Great Pyrenees and he's my buddy. He's on my mind a lot lately because he had to have knee surgery this past week, then back in because he blew all the work the vet did and have it redone along with the other knee. He weighs 135 pounds and his right knee had a partial tear so when he tried to put all his weight on the recently repaired leg it couldn't hold up. The vet said it would be better to do both knees and he would have to stay there at least 3 weeks.

Here's a picture of me and Indy, taken a few years ago. He's such a good dog, and smart! Scary smart!!!

This is him after his surgery. I love his smile! He was happy to be back home after spending two nights at the vet. I hope he's as happy with me after 3 weeks! They trimmed all he's hair, even his mane! He hasn't had that short of hair since he was a puppy!
Here are a few more pics taken

 Indy gets tired of waiting for me to go, so he picks up his leash and takes himself! hahaha

2016?
Our house is on a hill and because we are the second house we view several back yards. Indy thinks they are his to protect and he does it very well with his deep baritone bark.

Thank you for visiting and listening to me go on about my buddy. I have faith he'll be fine and home in no time. Sometimes you just need to daydream and look at old photos. 
Enjoy your day and next time I'll post the blocks I just finished up.

OMG! I Missed Out!



I always think I have more days than I actually do! Do you do that too?
I have a few projects I've fallen behind on so it was a toss up of what I wanted to get caught up in. I chose Seeing Stars by Butterfly Threads. I have months 1 and 2 done and a couple of month 3s blocks completed. This past Thursday she released the 6th months block.
Here is what I have so far...
Don't you love the batiks! They are by Edyta Sitar, I love everything she touches!!! 
I'm hoping to be caught up so that when next months blocks are released I'm ready! 


I love linking up with Patty at Elm Street Quilts! It motivates me to get my projects done!!! Check out her page and try it out!!! Hopefully I can get my blog posted in time next month.
See ya later,
Sheila

February's Monthly Color Challenge

Today is the 1st of the month and that means... Patterns By Jen's Monthly Color Challenge!!! To get the pattern for this block head over to Jen's blog.
This month's colors are Light Aqua and Dark Aqua. Don't you just love these colors! I do!!! So without further ado, here's my block...
I also picked out my Aurifil thread I'll be using when I quilt it. They are 5006 Light Turquoise and 2810 Turquoise. I love Aurifil and I should be able to match all the colors, but if not what better reason to buy more!
I finally got the rest of my fabric for my blocks. Yellow isn't my favorite color so I didn't have the right colors for January's block. Now I do and I'll be making that block very soon! I'm working in Batiks because I simply LOVE batiks and the way they blend well together.
And here is links to the rest of the participating bloggers/instagramers for February.
 So check out these wonderful ladies sites and check out their block for this month! Oh and did I mention...there are prizes!!! Check out Jen's blog for all the details!
I'll be back later to show my January block! See ya soon!
