This is different! I have a mockingbird who'll eat out of my hand but that's nothing compared to what this couple is doing!

8-) How about if you used 3 of them, 2 on top, one on the bottom type of pattern to make a heart shaped purse? Just a thought anyway :D I've recently been experimenting with some new ideas mainly because I'm kinda' weary of making the same basic style so often. What everyone who has ever seen my pu...

Ah ha! Now I know who you are!! I've been admiring your posts of lovely bags! This latest one is such a pretty material and so well-pieced together. It's just great how you've gotten the patterns to match! Thanks! Making shoulder bags and purses has kinda' become my hobby. I used to make custom cos...

I handraised an American robin earlier this year and decided to make a purse out of some kind of fabric that would remind me of Rocky. I found this fabric on Ebay for practically nothing - it is part of a 50-state birds set sold for quilting...you'd have 50 different designs if you did a whole state...

that is soo cute! If you throw away fabric what would you do when later you have the perfect project for it? Tami I'm 61 and my earliest memory of my maternal grandmother (who died when I was 9 years old) is spending hours looking through her sewing scraps and buttons she kept in a big jar. She qui...

I was introduced to them 2 years ago, and are a part of my front garden now. I just wish someone would put their clocks right though, the flowers seem to open at 8 in the evening and die by morning. That is really funny! I never realized plants would change with the time zones. Four O'Clocks bloom ...

With a heavy heart, this morning I dug-up what remained of a bed of hydrangeas I think just died of old age. I always hate discarding any plants but they seemed to be totally exhausted and hadn't been really pretty in several years. Recently I collected seeds from a neighbor's Four O'Clock plants an...

I have never seen 90% of those plants before. We grow pears, apples, and oleander but I have never seen those other plants before. Someone posted pictures here quite sometime ago of a mystery plant in their garden and it seems like the leaves looked like your Shoofly plant. I love that Mina Lobato v...

I've been sewing again recently and decided I'd sort through and throw away a bunch of old scraps. Well, you seamstresses know how much fabric I discarded - NONE! :lol: I found two coordinating scraps from a little girl's dress I made a long time ago and made this shoulder bag. I used fusible fleece...

Do you happen to know what that is? I found one recently, ran inside to grab my camera and it had disappeared and I couldn't find it again.

It would not hurt to try, you can buy a small bottle at almost any pet store for app. $8 or the gallon jug I buy for app. $19. It looks like water, has a faint unidentifiable fragrance that disappears as it dries, and I don't believe it would damage any fabric. I think Nature's Miracle's claim to fa...

I can't sleep at night unless I know there's a jug of Nature's Miracle in the pantry! :wink: My pugs are totally housebroken and it's been years since anyone has had an accident but that product also cleans up other stains and I've never had it damage my carpet or rugs. I honestly consider Nature's ...

We had a cat for over 20 years - he showed up on our doorstep as a starving, injured stray with ringworm the day Prince Charles and Diana married and my daughter named him Charles Philip Arthur George - "Charlie". Our Charlie didn't look like one of the "royals" that day but he thrived with us and r...

Hey! You scared me!! Here I am a friend to all lizards and I thought they were coming after me!! Those are the cutest pictures. I seem to frequently strike up acquaintances with unusual friends - this summer it is a Mockingbird who stands outside my patio door and looks in until I go outside and giv...

They can wreck havoc in a house! Two years ago a large buck somehow managed to make his way through two quiet subdivisions here and then entered a huge Episcopal church by breaking a window. The poor deer ran up into the balcony and then fell to the sanctuary floor, suffering massive injuries, and ...

I honestly have never seen a magpie before. They're interesting!

Chinese pugs are a lot of fun, Paul. They're really high-maintenance though...and they have particularly unique care requirements. Pugs are said to be the "court jesters of the dog world" and some people say their personalities are more like little children than any other breed of dogs. Today a myst...

Lucy waving to Ann!! I know before even clicking on the You Tube thingy, that it will take forever and bog everything down so I won't right now....I will try it later in the week when I have time.... Your pugs are so precious!! Your wonderful for taking them in..... :P Give them a pat for me, pleas...

I hope this works. I do own three Chinese Pugs - Rosebud, Gumdrop and Jimbo. Rosebud will be 15 in January, Gummy is a puppymill rescue from Missouri thought to be app. 11-12, and Jimbo was a personal rescue from a horrendous situation in Texas. Someone sent me this video and so much of it reminds m...

Only one of my pugs is bad about chewing on sticks and stuff she finds outside. Gumdrop has brought enough sticks in through the doggie door to build a mini-beaver dam. :wink: I don't think she'd ever chew on anything soft like a leaf or fallen bloom - and I keep a few plants outside the picket fenc...
