For the Love of... Animals

ANIMALS!

This week is all about the animals in your life & the one's you come across from time to time.

These guys are my children. As goofy and obnoxious as they are sometimes I love 'em!

See what I mean?! He wanted the leftover bits from our pumpkin carving fun.

These are our other buddies. The pretty grey is our mare, Fancy, and the other guy is Bart, who Jake is borrowing from a neighbor for a few months.

They are always stuck together like glue even though they have hundreds of acres to play in.

Last spring's calves

Here's a bit of a different animal. I made this little guy for a Swap-Bot swap I was in recently (sorry if I already shared this). The coolest thing about this was that the receiver's daughter is a Thanksgiving baby, which I didn't know when I made this, so this time of year is extra special for their family.

Even the back looks like a turkey! Pretty cool, huh? :)

Now it's your turn. Grab a button from the sidebar, create a "For the Love of Animals" post, then come back and link up. It's pretty easy, but if you have any problems please let me know and I'll help you link your post.

Next week's theme will be For the Love of... FOOD!

Also, earlier this week I promised a winner from last week's birthday post. She already knows who she is, but I haven't had the chance to tell you yet. The winner is Brie from Little Creatable. Congratulations Brie! You'll be getting your goodie bag soon. :D

WIP Wednesday

Head on over to Freshly Pieced to see everyone else's WIP for the week.

We're finally unpacked enough that I feel like I can take time to sew again. Here's what I've been working on the past couple days. It is headed to New Jersey for a redwork swap on SwapBot.

I have several other WIPs, but I'm still searching for many of them. Hopefully there will be more progress to share next week.

In other news, I started a new job this week. I am helping my LQS get her website set up for online sales and future classes. I spent most of yesterday and today reorganizing what was already on the website, and then began uploading fabrics today. It's a big job, she has tons of fun fabrics, patterns, and notions. She also carries clothing patterns, flannels, and beautiful wools.

For now the website link is a secret because it is definitely a work in progress, but I will be sharing soon. :)

Stay tuned...
