An early morning post~~~

Now you expect me to be awake early, but Mr H? No! Yet here he was at 4 AM in the living room watching a movie. Of course here it is 7 AM and off to bed he went. Me? you know I am up for the day. I am really looking forward to the new year. A new start here at the hacienda. Mr H has been doing well... oh, yes, he is having hand surgery soon, but at least it is not all the major surgery he had last year. We have hung a picture of his Baby Girl, Ms Zoe and I know he feels better about that. It is strange not to have her around.... looking for doggie treats and sharing shrimp. She is our second lost pooch in the last 7 years. We both are looking forward to a fresh year. On Wednesday (day off) as we entered the garage to start the car ( off to my doctor appt.) the car would not start. Mr Ziz to the rescue with a jump then off to Auto Zone for a battery! While there. Mr H bought the replace lifts for the trunk hatch which just stopped working the other day. I think this car is not long for my garage! It has served us well, but not interested in the next repair cost that has been quoted.
I really appreciate the nice comments for Digger the Rabbit. I will get some premium muslin today and then I can start on Grace the Angel... not sure if she will really be an angel, but she is going to be ready soon. I thought I would share one of the  other Dressmaker pincushions ....

These have been fun to make. I now have 4... maybe a gift of one to someone?  I am almost finished stitching a small project. I am thinking of tea dying it, a first for me to dye the project after it is stitched. I usually do this before stitching. This will be interesting....
Work was super busy yesterday. Lots of fleece and flannel being cut. Everyone wants to make the fleece tie blankets and the flannel seems to be going for pajama bottoms. Very last minute gifts if you ask me!
I guess I should put those last stitches of a motif on my project so I can tea dye it. Actually I best brew some tea first....
Welcome to a new friend.... and as always thank you all for the kind words and emails. Relax and have a good day.
