FEED me!!!

"If you follow me, mama, I'll show you where the food is."

(Apparently, the brown dog is hungry.

He brought me his food bowl and wanted me to follow him.
He is actually carrying the food bowl...it looks as if it might be on the floor, but it's not. 

hahahaha...this is why the next statement is what it is.)

So, I've not gotten a lot accomplished on my sew...snow day.

Too busy playing with Tag.

And hangin' out and thinking about stuff.

Actually did get 2 things done, but they need hand sewing.

Will show them when they're done...probably tomorrow.  

Newsflash on the giveaway!
I know...been talking about it for 2 months.
Well, it is almost here.
For sure.

I was cleaning up my blog and found some posts 

that had been started and never posted.

I deleted them.

Which changed the number of blogs I had posted to that day.

This, then, is blog post #497.

I will be having a giveaway on post #500.

Definitely.

I Promise.

As for the snow part of the day...
I am completely snowed in.

Drifts across the driveway too deep for my car.

Will have to wait until I get plowed out.

Wouldn't break my heart if it didn't get done.

At all.

Sew...Snow Day!

It is snowing like crazy and the roads are slicker than you know what.  Glass hills are not fun to drive over.  So, I am home.  What shall I do?  huh...got me!  {grin}

I have declared this a SEW day!

This next part is kinda wordy.  But, so worth the few minutes it'll take you to read it.  

Tag had a lovely birthday...thank you for all your comments and well-wishes.  A little story for you...last week, Heidi (coworker) brought in the most delish peanut butter cookies for us all to gorge ourselves on.  And, we did.  Yummy.  They're so not on my list of foods, but...what can I say?  Peanut Butter Cookies!!!  

So.  I said to Heidi, "Heidi, Tag's birthday is on Monday and I'm wondering if you would bake some peanut butter cookies for him."  She looked at me like I was nuts, and I thought she would say something like, "are you nuts?"  Instead, she said, "Jacque, do you know how busy I am this weekend?  We're going to a Super Bowl party and I have to make a dip.  Plus...blah, blah, blah."  Just so ya know, she didn't really say 'blah, blah, blah', but what she really said isn't relevant to my story.  I told her that I thought she could bake the pb cookies while she was doing everything else.  So, we kinda left it there.  Well, yesterday was Monday...Tag's birthday...guess what Heidi brought to work?  (I tell ya...my coworkers are so fun!)  Yup...peanut butter cookies just for Tag!  A couple dozen!  Nothing in them that he cannot have, right?  I did take them around and shared them with the others...a treat to celebrate Tag's birthday.  ha!  I ended up with about a dozen to bring home.  Now, remember, these are for Tag.  Not me!  Though, gotta tell ya, Tag loves to share with his mama.  I've had about 4 so far...but so has he.

Here are some photos of Tag, about to enjoy a peanut butter cookie.  Please note.  It took me at least 5 minutes to get these shots...gotta get the pose with the dog in a down position, with his head down, with a delicious-smelling cookie close to him.  Tag has always been very good at 'leave it'.  I think, though, that he thought I was never going to let him have the cookie.  But, I did.  Tried to get a photo of him eating it, but his big head got in the way.  

Anyway.  Here are the shots I got...

 

this is my fave!

That's it for now...I have some heart day quilty things to make, so I best get sewing! 

Hope you have a great day!

Happy Birthday, Tag!!!

Today is Tag's birthday...

8 on the 8th!

woohoo!

Hard to believe he is 8...

he still acts 2.

{grin}

A Good Weekend...

Yup, I had a good one.
It's always a good feeling to

cross a few things off my list.
And, to top it off, I received a special surprise! 


Remember the pillowcase I showed yesterday?
I did finish the 2nd one, so 
Julie will have a pair to match her quilt.

More done...
Here's the stacked coins quilt I first blogged about here...

now completely finished and laundered...all soft and crinkly.

 

And, I finished all my blocks for the whirlygig quiltalong 

(see my sidebar for the link).

I received a very early - and special - birthday present yesterday

from Lindy (see her blog here).

We met on Wool Snippets several years ago.

Lindy's birthday is the day before mine, which 
makes us almost birthday twins!

I LOVE all of the quilty goodness she sent.

Thank you so much, Lindy!

That's all I have.
