Skipping Church

There are no Sunday Sketches today since I skipped church. I do have a meeting at church tonight at 6:00 pm that may allow me time to do a quick sketch but we shall see. I've had a cold for a few days, popped something in my knee that is causing me pain and today I have a migraine. I'm feeling a bit unprepared for heading out to the cabin this week, but I'm sure it will all come together.

I spent much of yesterday working on a homemade coat for our dog MaryAnn to wear while going to the cabin. Since we are taking three children, MaryAnn is going to have to ride in the back of the truck with Panda. Panda is plenty furry and part husky so she won't care. MaryAnn is a pampered indoor dog with hardly any fur. The truck has a cab covering so she will be out of the wind and she'll be in a kennel with blankets and Panda which will provide her warmth, but I still want her to have a jacket to wear. I've looked for coats around this town before and she's rather large, I've not been able to find anything to fit at a reasonable price, so I decided to make my own. I forgot that I HATE to sew. I don't know if it's just me or does thread spin and twirl and knot up on everybody?!

Please don't make me ride in the back of the truck with the other dogs!

I bet Mary Anne will feel special in her new coat, a good special that is.

Aaawwww she is so pretty. No wonder she is pampered. She will look gorgeous in her new coat. Keep on sewing. You will get it completed. Maybe Lynn could help you. Knotted thread means that something isn't quite right.

Can't you put her a warm sweater on? Is that just too simple thought of me?
It will look cool the dog with a coat in the back....... Please make pictures! ;)

I wish I was there so I could house sit for you and Mary Ann could sleep in my bed.

I like Marianne. She seems like my kind of dog. Thats nice of you to sew a coat to keep her warm. You are a good mommie.

Have fun on your cabin get-away.

That is very nice of you to make Mary Anne a coat :) NO!! You are not the only one! I was trying to sew a patch on our laundry bag while at the farm, and it seems that everytime I touched the mahcine, there was an instant knot in the bobbin underneath, and then Janice would come over, and the machine would take off like magic. I think sowing machines hate me!
