Round the Bend....

So, I guess I have gone around the bend.

But when one lives alone, and even though I have lots of friends and do many things in my community and church, I still spend the majority of my days at home.

As I get older, I find I am more content to be at home or staying close to home.  I have gotten all of my sewing stuff back into the sewing room and have spent more time sewing this week than I have in a while.  I have several projects that I am looking forward to getting started on.

I did create 2 items for Sew Much Love this week.  I almost did 3, but I goofed on the first one, and I was tired, so I will try again tomorrow.

The snowmen are a No-Sew project for the ladies who say they cannot sew.  The Christmas Tree Napkins are a quick and simple napkin.

But back to the bend I have gone around.

I was fortunate to have adopted a lovely dog that I have named Winston.  I drove all the way to Kentucky to get him and in the process made friends with Winston's foster dad, JJ Walker.  Because we are also friends on Facebook and I have "liked" the Diamonds in the Ruff, Inc. Facebook page, I get to see all of the adorable animals that they have rescued and found new homes for.

Last month they came across an adorable  little dog that was wandering around downtown Pikeville.  They posted pictures looking for his owners.  And they posted again and again.  So I asked JJ what happened if no one stepped forward.  He said they would adopt him out and asked if I might be interested.  I said maybe.... you see, this dog was a Pekingese.

I had one as a young girl.  Miss Queue was the family dog and when my brother finally left for college, my parents were left with her.  But they adored her and when she died, my mother mourned her death.  So, I hoped that the owners of this dog would find him and yet wished that he might find his way here.

But I need another dog like I need a hole in my head.  But No one came forward.  SO I began talking to the Diamond folks and as of today, I have arranged to have this cutie pie transported from Kentucky next Friday evening, arriving in this area close to midnight on the 19th.  I will have to travel to Fogelsville, PA, which is about an hour away, just outside of Allentown.  His name is currently Rubbles.  But that will change.  But I want to meet him first.  His foster mother says he is laid back, house-trained and loves snuggling.

So my home will become more loving and wonderful.  And yes, I have gone round the bend.  But it is a lovely trip!!
