Top Dog and Cat Names

Found a link on the login page for MSN regarding pet names. Check out the weird names people have for their pets. I thought some of our nicknames for the furry family were different. I guess our names are relatively normal. Here are pictures by my DH, Dan Houck, (see link to the right) of Nelson Rockefeller, aka Rocky, aka Full Nelson (of Nelson Rockefeller fame), on the quilt I made for DH several Christmases ago. For those who don't know The Rockefellers were big in politics and charities in NY. Our other kitty is Conway Twitty the Kitty, aka Half Nelson or Little Nelson. Little Nelson is no longer so little. Enjoy!

Please remember to take the survey - link on the right. It only takes a minute or 2 and will help me make this a better blog. Thanks for helping.

Twas the day after Christmas ...

and all through the house where 4 dogs a barking and playing, 2 cats a hissing (at the visiting dog), 1 sister visiting. We had a quiet Christmas, my DH, my youngest sister and myself. I worked in the morning then home to spend the rest of the day with my little family. No quilting but I did get some great frog fabric from my sister. I will have to find the perfect project for these fat quarters. My sister and I are going to Tennessee on Tuesday to view the quilt shops over there. My DH got me a GPS system for the car - guess he thinks I'm lost when I'm really at the quilt shops.
My mother finally received her quilt today, guess the bad weather in the North delayed the shipment. She is thrilled and is planning on finding coordinating pillow cases for her bed to match. It feels good to give hand made items for Christmas. Did you make anything for someone on your list this year? I would love to hear what you made and the story behind the item.

Today I am sharing another of my DH's photos. This looks like an angel floating through the trees to me. Can you see it? Hint - the head is to the right, wings up and down, the body to the left.
