Grooming Day

 In all the rain and nasty weather today I took the westies to

a new groomer - this time I didn't have to cross the Bay Bridge.

I would have never known about this grooming studio/pet

food store if it wasn't for a stranger who stopped us during

a walk in St. Michaels.  She lost her westie of

15 years and needed a 'westie fix' and one thing lead to

another and she mentioned Bev's Grooming in Stevensville.

Bev did an excellent job grooming the westies. I

did request she keep the coats a little longer since

we'll be heading for colder weather soon.

 I did warn Bev that Derby hates his front paws

trimmed and of course he stood there perfectly for

her making me look like an idiot.

 As if they didn't have enough activity today they

broke out in a play session after dinner.  As of this

writing they are fast asleep and I think they are out

for the count until the 11p.m. piddle call.

 Hopefully they will stay looking good for

Thanksgiving Day in Baltimore.

 Doing some super-simple 4 patch blocks out of nautical 

fabric.  I'll just tuck this away when it's done for the next

baby boy I hear about.  I'll be making a pink one also.

 I don't want to stop sewing while all this moving is

going on so I've been just working on simple patterns

that don't take a lot of brain power to make.

Sock Monkey's in Space

I was so tempted to buy this fabric which was on sale

but ... I didn't this time ... but ... I just might the next time

it goes on sale.  I still have Christmas sock monkey

fabric I still can't cut ... maybe next year.

...

We can actually walk out on the deck!  All the

trex decking is in place and the next step is 

the steps!  Then it will be the screening and the

inserts on the inside of the roof.  I told Wilson

he needs to order one of those propane heaters like

you see at outdoor restaurants for the dogs in the

winter ... he just looked at me sorta funny.

The new front door with storm door should be

arriving after Thanksgiving.  We are looking at new

outside house lighting for the back deck and probably

the front also.  The fireplace guy should be showing

up on Friday to place the surround around the insert.

And of course the real estate agent called and said

they want to show the rental on Friday.  Which means

cleaning up or at least organizing the boxes of stuff

that I have not transported to the new house yet.  

That's it for today ... have a good one.
