Feather Dancing...

Here's my progress so far. I've been working on the wing, but not as much as I'd hoped. This week is "Wedding Week" for our dear nephew, Dan and his fiance' Alexandria. Our house will be full, as my sister Di, her husband, and her BFF, Brenda will be staying here. My eldest niece/goddaughter and two of her three children will also be staying with us. We can't wait!

Di and her group will arrive later this morning. My niece will be here on Friday. I'll be having so much fun. There's nothing quite as wonderful to me as having loved ones close. The kitchen will be the hub of activity, as Di is making all the food for her son's rehearsal dinner. Of course, Brenda and I will be available to help.

Handsome, Brenda and I will hang out here while Di and her husband head to the rehearsal dinner on Friday. Then, late Friday night, my niece and her kiddos will roll in from Minnesota. She's working, so they won't even start driving until after she finishes for the weekend. So, I'll have lots of fun photos to share, but probably no cardinal updates until after everyone heads back home.

Anyway, I think my wing is working out the way I wanted it to. You can see I still have some felt to cover, but I'm busy trying to make the wing look feathery. My overstitching on top of the grey thread worked out well, too. Just enough showing through, but adding padding with the layers.

I'll probably get back to this on Sunday, but I'll be sharing wedding and family photos - not embroidery - for the next few days. I hope you won't mind. I'd better get busy. I still have things to do before our guests arrive.

Tuesdays With Tag - I've Been Assaulted...

Hi, Everybody!

I'm sure you can see I'm not my usual perky self. There's a definite reason.

Mom asked me if I wanted to go for a ride yesterday. Well, what dog doesn't love a truck ride? I jumped at the offer to head out with Mom - and no Labradors. We turned east from the farm, and I was filled with a great sense of adventure.

Slam on the breaks. What cruel deception is this? When we got out of the truck I knew where we were. The vet's office!!! Wait just a doggone minute! Mom chirped somethin' mundane at me, snapped on my lead, and walked me inside. (I did get to take a flash whiz on the pillar right outside the door on my way in, though. Take that!)

It was time for my annual checkup, which means I got my toenails chopped and shots were administered. I like the people there well enough, but how come we never go there just to get a treat or say "hi"? Why is it only when I get poked and prodded? Yuck!

After they were done insultin' me, Mom took me out to the truck so she could go back in and pay for the damages. When she came back to the truck, she told me I really missed somethin' fun. Right after my appointment, the vet was seein' another Corgi!!!! It was a little girl named "Bumblebee". Isn't that sweet? Mom said she reminded her of Ceri, who lived with us for a while and then went to live with Aunt Di. I wish I'd seen Bumblebee. I bet we would have really hit it off! (It certainly would have made for a happier trip to the vet for me.)

As it was, we drove home and soon after it was dinner time. Dad said the shots must have made me dozy because every time I stopped walkin', I just dropped to the sleepin' position. I couldn't help myself. I followed Mom to the studio, and when she didn't see me underfoot, she found me under her sewin' machine on my bed. I ended up callin' it a night early, and should be myself again by mornin'.

Before I close, I'd like to take a moment to express my condolences to Queen Elizabeth II's Corgis. We're all mournin' her passin', and know that now, she'll be reunited with all those great pets who passed before. I'd like to show my respect by sharin' a few Corgi tributes to Her Majesty. 

 

Rest In Peace.

From Your Faithful Servant,
