BABIES...

Coco was lying on my lap... she does every chance she gets nowdays... and I felt her puppies moving, and I could see them too.

So exciting.  And today is DAY 50!
Only 8-9 days to go.  Gosh ... it's gone fast.

I am going to try and get a little video of her tummy moving today or tomorrow.  
It's kinda creepy, but wonderful too.

You have until tomorrow to guess how many girls/boys Coco will have.

Today Bex and I are going out to browse the shops... we saw some cute nautical things advertised at Bed, Bath and Beyond in a mailer yesterday, so are checking them out.

I think today will be the last time I nip out and leave Coco alone. I'm probably being hyper-cautious, she will no doubt hold on till DAY 59 or longer... but I just can't risk it.

I really should be working on Christmas Presents in the 'Sewing Room', maybe I will do my best to get some work done this afternoon.

Dumm dee dooo... I've been saying that for days *smiles*

For some reason I'm just NOT FUSSED or even bothered about Christmas right now.  There's far too much going on BEFORE Christmas for me to worry about.  *sigh*... but... what will be will be.

No point worrying about something unless it happens I suppose.

So... I'm going out with Bex and Dante and will just enjoy the day.

I might even buy some linen and threads so I can make a start on this:

ABOVE:  That's the pattern I wanted in that magazine I finally got from England!  So pretty.  I'm probably MAD thinking of starting a new project!  And I've not done any stitchery in YEARS!  But... I want to give it a go, and it doesn't have to be finished by a set date eh?  It can take me months if I want.  (yeah, a bit like my Dresden Plate quilt...)   ♪ la ♫ la ♫ lah ♫ lah ♪ ...

ONWARD...

Thank you Po.

BLONDIE:  yep, I really should work on UFO's, particularly my Dresden Plate Quilt.  Maybe I shall get the Xmas presents done then just focus on my quilt.
OR NOT!  lol

Well... I ended up going out on me own as Dante needed a sleep after being up since 5am!
So... I did a wander around the shops, visited my Aunt and Uncle up the road then came home, did a quick check around the neighbours home (I'm watching it for them while they are away in China) and did some gardening!
NOT our garden ... the neighbours!

ABOVE:  I can access the neighbours home through a gate in our boundary fence, so very handy.  Usually I just do a walk around, make sure everything is OK.  Today I noticed the garden was getting choked with a spreading weed, so I just hauled it all out.  At least the place looks 'occupied' with fresh weeding done.

I'm now going downstairs to get on with some sewing...

Oh am I having fun!  I'm sewing strips of fabric together and turning them into hearts for Mug Rugs!  I have a feeling more than one person will win my little Competition... so I'm making more!  If more than 2-3 win, you will have to make do with ONE Mug Rug!  

End of Day:  and I've had so much fun this afternoon/evening!  I've been sewing for HOURS... I forget how much I enjoy it. 
But... Stew came to bed ... which is part of the garage/sewing room etc... so I had to stop. 
Plenty of time to do more tomorrow.
