A few little things...

A few days ago, I realized that I needed some more flannel pants to go along with my Lucky Charms pants for the winter months. Joann's had this fabric on sale and I got enough for a pair of pants and a pillowcase. I got the fabric washed with the laundry today so I just need to iron and cut it and make the pants. Now, if I can just get that done in the next week or so, I will be in good shape. Although, there are some other holiday flannels on sale this week that I will have to go and pick up for pants, too.

Last night, the dogs and I were in bed and Max ended up with his head on the pillow and his eyes tightly closed. By the time I got my camera, he had opened his eyes and moved a little, but it was still a good photo op.

Tonight, we went outside and he escaped. Right in front of a moving car! My heart stopped! Luckily, it was my neighbor Kim driving and she saw me running through the parking lot after him and screaming like a mad woman. This may have been the closest call he has ever had with a car. Currently, he is tucked safely back in bed!

After work today, I loaded up a charity quilt on Lenny and gave Squiggy a long overdue cleaning and lube job. I probably need to wind 1 more bobbin, but it is ready to be quilted tomorrow. This is part of my test plan.

Hopefully, I will get it quilted tomorrow night. We'll see. It is a Monday night small group night.
