Thank you to all of you sweet ladies who joined in on the fun around here. We thank each and every one of you for making Duhgall’s birthday so very special and for entering the contest for the above heart giveaway. Thank you, too, for those of you who are making JACK a heart and to KIM for all she does and organizing this wonderful idea.
All of the names – some entered several times – were placed in my little thrift store bowl.
Being as Duhgall was the birthday guy, we thought it best that he drew the winner. Miss Fiona was so excited that she just could not contain herself!
Duhgall goes in for the selection….
…and pulled out the name…along with his dog biscuit in the bottom of the bowl. Ahh-ha – that is how we enticed his little black button nose to the bowl. Works every time!
drum roll….. Tales From My Empty Nest is the winner! Congratulations and Happy belated birthday, too!!
Duhgall and Fiona were such champs and are sitting pretty now for their reward – a little biscuit. Ok, so Duhgall got two. He deserved it!
I mentioned a few posts ago that a very special birdie was flying in from the east coast to spend a few weeks with us. This sweet birdie is my son’s girlfriend, Miss K, and we are having some fun doing some junking and sewing together. SEW….. today we are making peasant blouses…
…and getting in some good girl time. The guys made tacos for us tonight – they were awesome!
ooh..I want the Cherry peasant top :)
ReplyDeleteThat is just too cute, sugar!! Actually, the dogs are too AND you take great photos. Some chicks just do it ALL great! ;-)

How fun you girls must be having sewing together! And how kind of the boys to prepare dinner for you both. I love the vintage pattern...I hope you will share the finished blouses!

Congratulations to the winner!!! Doogie and Fiona did a 'stand up' job choosing, even if there was a little enticement there.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun you are having with Miss E! Nothing beats girl time and doing something fun. Will there be a fashion show later on???
I zoomed in on Esther's pincushion the minute I saw it. I remembered immediately that it was her creation and how I adored that design. I still miss Esther's funny posts!
I'll give you a call when your company is gone and we can have a good chat of our own.
Miss you. Love you.
Lallee
Lucky Miss K!...and those doggies of yours! I'm a cat person, but every time I see Duhgall's & Fiona's faces, I melt a little!
ReplyDeleteps Thanks for posting my give-away!
Did you misread that entry?!?!? I swear it said MARYDON!, chuckle! Congrats to the lucky gal ... what a lovely gift she will receive.
ReplyDeleteLove LOVE the pooches ... they are adorable!
Happy spring!
Have a beautiful week.
TTFN ~ Hugs, Marydon
what a lucky winner! congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your winner! It will be great for you to "do things" with your guest. So many people just sit around looking at each other and talking. DOing something is so much better because talking and doing go hand in hand and memories are being made.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner!!! And what a fun thing for you to have a girl in your life now... and she SEWS! How fun for you two.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to "tales from my empty Nest" WHOOOHOOO. Your pups are so so sweet. My son also has a dear sweet girlfriend, and I just love her to pieces. we love to sew and have girl time together as well, so I know your going to having some fun times together, and I look forward to seeing pictures of the peasant blouses when your done! Yeah to the men for making you some tacos, and allowing you to have more play time. Aloha Paula
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, your dogs are sooooooo cute!!!!!! thanks for stopping by today & being so sweet regarding my bedroom! Thanks for the slipcover info as well. love those!

Such a bittersweet picture of Miss K sewing with you. That's what my dreams were. Someday..... I can't wait to see what you two have made. Quilts are easy for me, but garment sewing scares the bujeezers out of me.
ReplyDeleteMaggie sends her love to her brother and sister. You were right, Miss B. A boy and a girl doggie is a much better mix than two girls. One minute they are playing good, the next they are at each other's throats.
fun...congrats TFMEN!!
ReplyDeletewhat GREAT choosers you had :)
eager to see the blouses
Hi Becky,
ReplyDeleteOh my peasant tops!! I used to wear them all the time. How fun!! Do show us when they are done. Your heart for Jack is so lovely, really Becky it's just so sweet and so perfect.
Take care and big hugs, Elizabeth

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winner! Oh, I love those peasant tops! They bring back memories....
