A New Normal

It's been such a long time since I've sat and even thought about blogging. Life's very different in the All-Stitched-Up household. There's been quite a few changes. First change was this precious little bundle had to be re-homed as she decided she didn't like sharing the house with a little one, in particular little Miss Tayla, we no longer could trust her, as she had lunged at Tayla on more than one occasion without any provoking.  She's gone to a wonderful home, with no children and is being spoilt rotten.

We had no intentions of replacing her, but she left such a huge void in our lives and our home, that a trip to the pound was suggested. We went with the idea of just looking as the emotions were still very raw.
And then we saw this precious face looking at us through the wire and our hearts just melted. We decided to wait a few days and think on it as we didn't  want to just replace Suki.

After a couple of days thinking about it, this little sweetie came home with us and was spared the dreaded  needle.
Meet Abby a Pit/boxer mix. Usually called Abby Cakes or just Abbs. She has such a sweet and gentle nature. At nine weeks old she has so much energy, usually more than I can cope with.

But is by no means a lady.

Bare toes are her favorite chew toy, along with anything that is foolishly left in her reach.
The other change is of course my new job, It's taken a lot of adjusting, not just for me but for my sweetie and of course Hollie. I love the work, but the hours aren't my first choice. 2.30 - 11.00pm, Wednesday to Sunday, doesn't leave much in  the way of family time, but I'm sure we'll manage to work around it.
Little Miss Tayla turns one in a week and a half, she's toddling around the furniture and took her first unassisted steps a couple of days ago.
On the sewing front that's a big fat zero, but now that I'm finally adjusting to the work schedule, I hope that will change very quickly.
Lot's of health issues, but I won't bore you to sleep with those.

Hope to be back a lot sooner with something that has fabric involved.

Happy Stitching,
Linda
