Little Sheep Quilt


I've had this kit forever and finally made it.  It's only 13" x 15" so it goes pretty fast once you get all your pieces cut.  All the applique is wool and I really enjoyed working with that and want to do more with wool.  I love the teeny tiny buttons they included for eyes.  Handwork is my favorite thing to do and this was very relaxing!

The kit is called "Wooly Sheep"

My Backyard



My hummingbirds have been very active lately making it a challenge to keep the feeder filled.  Saturday I had 4 fighting over it.  Finally 2 decided to call a truce and drink together.  I guess their filling up for their migration.



I love to watch the birds enjoy their baths. :)  This is a young robin ....


tickled me...looks like another bird is waiting his turn.  There was some serious splashing going on!


We had another storm knock a tree limb down.  I thought it was interesting how this cardinal blends in so well with the dried leaves.  We have finally got that large limb cleaned up!

Earlier this summer I wondered what got my flowers.  I think I found the culprit!  We had lots of bunnies this year in our backyard.




This is a common routine for Annie.  She has a good view of the outside wildlife.



She hates it when I'm outise and she's not.  She can look so pitiful but it's not worth the risk.  I wish she could understand!



Looking forward to all the fall colors but not the cold.  I guess I'll snuggle with Annie on the chilly nights coming.  :)
