Gifted Fabrics :-)

My blog friend Elaine over at  Muddling Through sent me a surprise gifty.  Check out these bright & cheery Laurel Burch prints. She is one of my all time favorite designers.

Love the kitty prints,  all pieces are fat quarters.   Ooh, it's going to be hard to cut into these fabrics.  I'll have to let them marinate for a little while and decide what to use them in.

                                                                

                                                                   

My husband found this hanging out near the front door a couple nights ago. Looks like it was heading to ring the bell.  Next morning the critter was gone but I wonder how close it still is.

 Driving home from town I saw another one crossing the highway (no I did not run him over).  So far they all have been Arizona Blondes.  Last year there were reds and browns.  But the season is early and I'm sure many more will cross our pathways.  I'll never get used to these tarantulas but would rather run across them over a rattler any day.

A fun photo of Gypsy.  When dinner time rolls around there she is to stare me down until I get up to fix poodle food. LOL  The other poo-kids sleep until hearing food bowls being stirred.  This Gypsy girl is still a bit shy, she may always be.  Seems like she was not "touched" much, she doesn't like to be hugged and kissed.  Sometimes I cannot help myself but to reach over and hug or give her a smooch.  Then she scoots across the sofa and stares at me. But, ha-ha, she is not too shy to sleep on my bed.

We heard back from the rescue group about Mirabella.    She had many local families interested in adopting her, even with the blindness issue.  I am glad for her and it makes me feel good knowing there are so many people that are willing to take a special needs dog.
*News Flash*  We are adopting a standard girl from the Arizona Poodle Rescue. More about "Missy" once I know more.
