Oh, my goodness. It is so cold here right now. The temperature tends to drop here on the Pacific Ocean June through August, and the days are gray. I am dressed head to toe in polar fleece and under a blanket and still shivering. Brrrrrr.
I don't have a photo to post today. I spent the day working on a baby quilt for my sweetheart's new little grandson who will be arriving next month. The quilt is in that funky stage where it is all in pieces that don't make a lot of sense yet. The quilt has a lot of little nine patch running through it and it will be adorable when it is done. It was a good day to be home quilting with the grayness outside.
We did venture out into the cold for a little while to take Liesl for a walk in the park. Liesl is a master communicator and made it pretty clear she wanted to go out today. This afternoon I had walked out of my craft room to the kitchen for a glass of water. When I did so I saw that Liesl was sitting with her back against the front door, in a way that said if I intended to go out I was going to have to take her, too. So we went to her favorite park where she could stretch her little puppy legs. There is a duck pond there and she likes to sit on a park bench and watch the ducks swimming. I think it is her moment of Zen.
Poor Liesl has been walking around with a naked, shaved tummy. She had to have an ultrasound on her tummy on Friday. She turns 9 on August 4, and we are super happy and grateful that she has been pronounced a healthy girl. Liesl is an important member of our family and we just love her so much. Knowing that she is healthy (in spite of a couple of items we need to keep an eye on), means more to us than I can describe. So it makes me happy right now to look over and see her snuggled with her daddy.
I can not wait to work on my quilt tomorrow. Generally, I do not enjoy quilting as much as handwork. This project is really fun though. I figure if I plan to do a little each evening, then I should get this done before the little guy makes his debut.
Well, off to dreamland with a grateful heart!

You're just a Jack-I mean Jill of all trades. I'm anxious to see your quilt. I was tickled to see you had posted. Take care and stay warm.
