Busy Hands

Although the temperatures still remain high, we did get some much needed rain recently which thankfully seemed to break the high humidity.

Ollie went for his second set of puppy shots yesterday and we were so proud of him.  He took the injection like a little man, as well as all the pokes and prod-dings by the Vet.  I was holding him while he was being examined and although he did seem to tremble at times, he wasn't the least bit fidgety which really surprised us for a ten week old pup.  He got a clean bill of health and will return next month for his third and final puppy shots.  

He weighs a whopping 5.9 pounds now!  It will be three weeks on Saturday since he's come home and we've noticed a significant change in his size during that time.  

Here he is just a few minutes ago.  Do you think he has enough toys to keep him occupied?

You mean I have to share my toys with Frankie?

How many dogs do you know that get mail?  Ollie did.

This afternoon our mail lady dropped off a package addressed to Ollie from his Auntie Ter'e in Florida.

Inside we found a slew of toys for Ollie and even a catnip mouse for Frankie.  

Thanks Auntie Ter'e!  We love them all!

So while Ollie plays and naps, I try to keep my hands busy.  I finished the second stitchery design from Brownyn Hayes' Wishes quilt which you can read about here.

 
In addition, I was able to prep the last five blocks for the Comfort & Joy quilt along.  I'm doing mine in wool-on-cotton which is a technique I love.

I'm currently working on the gingerbread men block...while Ollie sitting, of course.

Although I'm not spending a lot of time at my sewing machine, I feel as though I am getting a lot accomplished.  

Ollie sitting isn't such a bad job after all!
