My muses

It has been a gorgeous weekend up here on the Cape...mild and breezy...with clear blue skies and lots of time outdoors with the beagles.

Of course, they have been posing...here are a few of my favorite beagle moments

The sewing is coming along. I've finished two pillows and have four more ready to put together tomorrow...but have to buy more pillow forms/stuffing...so I'm off to Jo-Anns again tomorrow. I'm looking forward to my first sewing class at Spool next Sunday. I am also feeling more confident with making bobbins and threading my machine, doing it tonight without referring to the manual. But what I've decided I do hate...cutting. I am not good a scissors. They feel bulky and awkward in my hands, and being a lefty, it makes it that much more of a challenge. I'm intrigued by the rotary cutters...but want more of a tutorial before I invest.

Also picked up a great book (thanks mom) called "Confederates in the Attic." It's nonfiction and has been keeping me very entertained...between the knitting...sewing...and napping.

Speaking of knitting...I'm going to catch up on the Tudors and get some knitting done.
