Cool new look for the bed...

002


I saw a pillow like this on a blog and decided I needed one.  I got a big body pillow at Target for about $10.00 and then just used fabric I had around the house.


006


I love the look of it on the bed.  Hud just snarled.  "Is this something we have to take off the bed every night?"  I wanted to say yep but I said no it is for me to lay my knee on.


007


It's so soft and squishy I wanted to take a nap today.  Maybe tomorrow.


Hugs, Gretchen

Nicholas is lovin' football.

001


My picture is a little blurry but the statistics aren't.  Nicholas just finished his 2nd year of tackle football and he has the trophy to prove it.


Last night his team played in a tournement and lost.  Nicholas got mowed over by one big player and just jumped up and went back to his stance.  From there on, he tackled anyone he got near.  I think he's finally gotten his Papa's killer instinct on the football field and the style his daddy had on the wrestling mat for 4 varsity letters.  To me that's a "good thing". 


Hugs, Gretchen

My deer hunters...

002


Last Saturday Rick and Nicholas went deer hunting.  Chloe stayed with me and did what all girls like to do....shop.

Making a dog bed...


001


This was a new adventure for me with my sewing machine.  Mallie needed a new bed and it took me a while to figure it out.


002


I used an egg crate doubled to make it soft.


003


I got a sheet at Target to use for the material.


004


I made a pocket in the back like they do for some pillows.  I hope you can see it.


005


This was the pad I made for her kennel with some fabric I already had. 


The nice part about these is that they are both washable.


Hugs, Gretchen
