Quiet Weekend

It was so nice to have a reasonably quiet weekend, just a little shopping and some yard work.
You'll remember a previous post where I was lusting over a wonderful Japanese magazine that Margaret had so kindly arranged for me to receive. When the magazine arrived and I'd finished drooling over it and I was ready to start and trace the Red Work designs from it, I realised there was a whole pattern sheet missing. Choko in Japan very kindly gave me the link to where I could resolve the problem. On Friday the parcel arrived, I was thinking it would just be the pattern sheet and I'd have the fun task of figuring out which lines belonged to which design. When I opened the parcel all the designs had been traced off and enlarged, ready for tracing onto my fabric. What a wonderful surprise and what a relief. Great service.
Saturday afternoon my "sweetie" took me out and bought me this.













An 8 week old Peekapoo named Suki. What a little sweetie and what razor sharp teeth. The lady we bought her from has offered to puppy-sit any time we need her (I think she was very attached to Suki). So with that wonderful offer we now can visit Hollie without worrying about leaving Suki at home alone. Our extremely large Lab/Great Dane dog was told "what for" yesterday by this little ball of fluff and ended up with her tail between her legs. What power in something so small...lol...
So as you can imagine my week will probably be spent making trips in and out from the backyard and just generally playing with the pup, the sort of week I think I need after the last 2 or 3 weeks.

Happy Stitching.
