More Sheep

The 4 in the bottom picture were jumping all over yesterday.

Christmas for pets

This is my daughter and son-in-laws cat.  They bring her over on Christmas morning and she gets a present too.

Puppies

The stray dog that showed up about a year ago had 6 puppies.  They will be 6 weeks old tom..  She is so good with them. These are spoken for.  We will get her fixed here shortly.

Teigan met the sheep

Teigan finally got to meet the sheep.  This is a pet ewe that Jaymee raised on a bottle.  We thought it wouldn't make it but she brought it thru. So tame will follow you anywhere.  Getting pretty old.  She is 10 I am thinking.

Couple miscellanous and then sewn items

Teigan on Valentines Day.  Pickles has kinda decided the port a crib makes a nice bed.  I haven't washed the sheets up yet for the bed.  She is laying on the plastic that is over the mattress.

Last couple pictures is of birthday presents I made last night.  I did finish the purse up this a.m..
A reversible headband, 2 book markers and a Japanese Knot Bag that is reversible. I really enjoyed making all these items. Fast cute and easy.  The bag I am not sure about the handles how I closed them but it looks fine. My nieces 11th birthday party is today.

First lamb of the season

A little ewe!

One of the fur babies

The outside cat has had 3 kittens all black/white.  The last couple of days my husband goes out and checks on them in the garage and this one is always out of the big box and in the little box that is out there.  I guess it wants its own space.  They are at the cute climbing out stage.  Thankfully I have a coworker who will take these 3.

Shorty and Friend

This is our dog Shorty (Shortcake).  Alittle over a year ago a gray alley cat showed up at our house and it will not let you get close to it but would eat Shortys food and sleep in the doghouse with him.  This spring she had kittens in the house.  Had 5 2 dead and 3 alive.  Anyhoo the 3 2 black and white and this black one stay right with him.  At time they are all sleeping with him, on him, by him or close around.  This black really stays the closet.  So cute to see.  Shorty is on a rope (barge rope found at Kentucky Lake yrs. ago)  that hangs in the tree and he has a lot of area to move in.

Miscellaneous

Shorty and the stray cat that has been here over a year.  She is the cat that had 3 babies back inside his doghouse about a month ago.  About a week ago she moved them down to the sheep shed.  She doesn't let people get to close to her.  She is getting better. (babies in other picture are from another cat that is ours) She still comes up and spends time with Shorty.

Rose bush that was my mother in laws.  Shed died in '95 and we we brought it home.  Was small then.  It is really loaded.

Last picture is of an Baltimore Oriole.  We have them every year and I put out orange halves and grape jelly and I do believe this is the first time I have seen them using eating any.  They love to try to get into our hummingbird feeder, even tho we have an Oriole feeder.  I love tghe bright orange on the birds.

First time out in the yard

They were so cute smelling the air and checking out the grass.  The solid black is so playful.  White is so cute with those two black spots and a black tail. I love the coloring on the other one.  Would love to keep it but these are given away.  They will probably leave next week-end.

Pickles

While I was sewing this a.m. Pickles found another place to lay.  I had opened the blind--normally she lays on my sewing area to the side while I sew.

First lambs

Companions

This is our dog Shorty (Shortcake) and a stray cat that appeared awhile back.  You would see the cat come up into the yard and eat Shortys food and now for the last few weeks you will see it come out of the dog house. It has a round spot to one side of where Shorty lays. The other a.m. I saw this and had to get a picture. They will sleep by each other.

Kitty Cookies

Don't forget your kitty cat. Our cat and family cats really like these!

Makes 8 to 10 dozen

Puppy Mat

Don't forget about your fur babies! Have scrap material? Make a patchwork mat with batting in the middle or old towels.

2 mamas

In this picture is 6 kittens. The calico had 5 babies and then a few days later the black/white had 6. Something happened with the black and white ones and then one day she started getting in the box with the other babies and sometimes they were both in there. Then also all of a sudden a 6th kitten showed up so I guess she saved one and brought it over. Last night I was going thru the breezeway and they were laying here with each nursing 3. Teamwork--gotta love it!

Pickles

couldn't even wait for me to get the material out of the bag. She was attacking it from the beginning. She will go in them but mostly loves laying just ontop of them.

My helper

Pickles was helping me to do some patching.

Napping

Boomer my daughters cat was with us over the week-end while they were in a wedding out of town. When I got up to do something and came back to my craft table she was here asleep.

New kitty

New kitty that Allen brought in for us to see it is about 2 weeks old. Boomer had to check it out. Would be Boomers aunt.

Jaymee got the balls and basket at Hobby Lobby yesterday for their front room.
