The boys are back to having their grooming sessions together. Here they are, relaxing after their spa day.
I picked up that pink poodle body pillow during a grocery-shopping outing. It was on the clearance table at Freddy's. Sandy has been taking his Lamb Chop toy, which is as big as he is, out to the backyard and getting her dirty. When "Pinky" caught my eye, my first thought was: It won't go through the dog door easily. So far Pinky has stayed indoors. We'll see. Lamb Chop made another trip to the backyard and was wiped around in the dirt, so she went into the laundry, protected by a zippered pillowcase.
Before I dropped the pups off at Deschutes Dog Salon, we stopped at Ponderosa Park's off-leash park for little dogs so they could get their wiggles out.
Here's how they looked after grooming.
The whole-cloth quilt is coming along. The swags are almost done. Look at the bottom of the stitched area, and you will see one swag partly done and one more not begun. All the others are finished.
Just the rest of the border out to the edges to finish. There will be a lot of fabric and backing to cut off when it's done. In this closeup of the same photo, the arrow points to where the edges of the border are, so you can see, there won't be too much more work to do.
Rehearsals for Sound Fourth continue. Friday afternoon is our performance. It's a lot of music to learn in a short period of time, so I've been listening to the practice tracks and going over my part. It's fun to see people at rehearsals I haven't seen since last year's event.
Charlie has been working on the garage, which has been half-full ever since we moved in. We didn't know what kind of home we would have when we moved here, so we brought things we ended up not being able to use. Most of it has just been sitting there. Our photo albums were in trunks buried in the middle. I think I inspired him to get at the huge job by mentioning wistfully how I wish we could get to our photo albums. He made a big pile of trash, which will take a few weeks to have picked up in our regular trash pickups. Another pile was stuff to give away. We still can only fit one vehicle in the garage, but it's easier to walk, at least.
Our rhododendrons are blooming. Charlie brought me this lovely flower he clipped off from one of the bushes.
Karen's family made it home from Europe after a delay of a day due to a mixup in their return tickets.
And the new book has gone to my proofreaders!
I have a lot of difficulty responding to comments to my blog posts because of technical issues beyond my control (my lack of understanding of how things work). Message me on Facebook, Ravelry or Spoutible if you need information.
What's in The Doll's Storybook: The dolls say goodbye for now to Gabi, and Dolly will be leaving soon. They will be working as project models at the yarn store showing knitters what they can make for dolls in Earning a Living.
