DO NOT FAINT

I can't believe it has been since the end of January... slack Libbie.

Not much going on, no stitching, but a little craft.

A little knitting, this is 'tube' knit on two needles... Thank God for Youtube

New Fabric for a baby quilt for a young friends new baby boy.

A little bit of Australian bird life... Kookaburra

One of Quincy's puppies (Evie's granddaughter) now nearly 7 months old, this is Harriet giving you all the green eye, chocolate Long Dogs eyes are green.

The exciting news, Katie gave birth to five beautiful healthy puppies, 4 on the 4th of July and 1 on the 5th.

Girl, boy, girl, boy, girl.

Bridget, Vin Diesel, Carlee, Lump & Kinky

Katie pre-birth (Maud & Nellie behind)

Katie post-birth, yes I know black puppies on black doesn't work that well.

She loves them.

Puppy pile... Orange doesn't work that well either too bright.

Lastly this is little Kinky born on the 5th, her tail was folded under, so it has this cute little kink :@

So until next time... Libbie :@ (Whose byline is getting longer and longer)

PS I am on the record that none of Katie's puppies are staying, Kinky already has her forever home and it's local.

AndThisLittlePig said Quilts and Puppies

So I've finished the top of my RLB baby quilt, finished it last night actually, tomorrow it is off to be quilted, I'm really happy with it, photo not that great snapped quickly this morning, and only a small corner section.

Where would a post go (my third for 2014 and already posted as much as I posted in 2013) without puppies photos.

I've named my chocolate girl, well it's sticking at the moment.

Meet Harriett... my cousins Long Dog had pups on Australia Day, one of each I told her to call them Harriett and Ozzie, and she said no more like Matilda and Aussie, and it was like Bingo!

Quick post it was the 28th when I started this and now it is the 29th.

So until next time... Libbie :@

So the time has come to introduce you to our new Long Dog... so this is Katie as she is today.

The scar on the bridge of her nose is not the only scar she carries.

This was the first photo we saw of Katie on the local pound's (shelter) facebook page, Mum said she had a kind... sad eye.

This is Mum's Scarlett, she had been visiting to help Katie settle in, as Katie lived with Mum for around three months.

I think Scarlett enjoyed her visit, she certainly loves 'pink bunny' it may have to go home with her :@

Puppy photos... do you know how hard it is to choose which photos to leave out. So a simple collage of group photos.

This is one of the black and tan girls, looks content doesn't she?

Little Chocolate girl... still considering Maude :@

So yesterday I went to pick up the girls bulk chicken necks and called in at craft store, this is for a young friends first baby, not due to June, and seeing as I don't know the sex had to be neutral. Have christen the quilt RLB. Going to be simple design, hope to start later tonight or as this is the Australia Day long weekend.

Oh Happy Australia Day!!! Nice quiet day with the girls.

Decided to give the blog a bit of a face lift. What do you think?

So until next time... Libbie :@

And This Little Pig said Quilt Finished

Quilt finished... well just have to stitch a label on the back, so will be done this weekend, it is for my bosses daughter Sarah, she was 21 in February, yes I am late, but far better then the quilt I have off being quilted at the moment, will tell you about that one when it comes back!

The binding was done by the Beautiful Bev, from my LNS. I hate hand sewing (funny seeing as I love cross stitch) and was all prepared to do it, she was only going to sew the binding, pin the corners and leave the rest for me to do! When I picked it up on Tuesday, what do I find but a finished quilt. Naughty Bev :@ That's OK I went and cleaned her carpet for her on Wednesday night.

This Previous Post will tell you about the material, etc, binding is a lovely read with gold/beige spots which looks wonderful, only took an hour to pick out :@

My Little Iron Pig hasn't made an appearance in a while, she managed to get in every shot.

See you next time... cross stitch update... LiBBiE in Oz

PS The Long Dog Puppies are doing well, they were all up and wagging their little tails for me tonight, if it's a nice day tomorrow, might try and get them a little outside time and some sun.

And This Little Pig said A Finish and A Start

LHN Warm Winter Woolens is finished! Crazy 2012 number 2.

I did change the sheep's head a little, more rounded :@

I'm going to try and frame this myself... maybe... fingers crossed.

A little more stitching on LHN Ornament 2011 Silent Night, house, trees and night sky, along with some of the border, it does go all the way round now :@

This is what I spent the weekend doing, instead of stitching... Butterscotch & Rose by Fig Tree, 42 pre-cut 10" quilting squares, so using my trusty rotary cutter, each square was cut up into 4, which gave me 168 x 5" squares.

So 9 across and 15 down, which will give me a double (twin) bed size quilt, well once I add the 6" border.

I know it's only a simple quilt, but this is the first one I have done in many years, and the fact that I did it all in  one weekend... very happy :@ Oh it is going to be a 21st birthday gift.

Catch you all later... LiBBiE in Oz
