A beautiful day today, sunny and cool temps so Murphy and I enjoyed our walk. Well, almost, he still gets barky when he sees people and heaven forbid a dog! We are working on it.
These last 3 months have brought such changes. The Brother Alan and Lisa moving in. Lisa added some things to the house décor and our tree was lovely with their additions. Then 1 month ago Murphy came to live with us. We all agree that he is the best thing to complete our new family. I have lost some weight with the 3 to 4 walks daily, each about a quarter mile and I feel good.

Murphy is a big part of our lives. We share tasks.... I feed and walk and have him as a room mate at night. Lisa loves to play ball in the garden and snuggle with him. Alan is in charge of brushing as well as playing. We all love the playing and snuggling part.
It starts with one groomer then requires two!
We will be getting his first professional grooming soon...just a puppy cut as we love the mangy mutt look for now. He has plenty of time to look like a proper schnauzer. Lots of love in our house.
Lisa and I worked on the French Roses runner....
We did make a change before the sewing... the first in line ... we made the center petal a rose color.
The final order after the sewing! We washed it twice and dried it both times. It will need a pressing and a trip to the quilt shop for the backing. We are very happy with it and look forward to making others and variations; placemats and "doily" types. Lisa will begin one soon. She has not sewn in some time but we know she can do it!
So nice to chat with you...thank you for the kind words and for the encouragement. Each day is easier and I feel better. Thank you for your friendship.

Hi Gracie....I must be more committed to reading your blog this year. So happy Alan and Lisa are there with you...and share in the love and care of Murphy. He sure is a cutie. We are expecting to get a pup by the summer as the breeder will be introducing a stud to her girl by March.....we'll see. Hope your doing good Gracie....we are busy always but we like to keep moving ��....love to all ❤
He's such a fortunate little fellow to have found a loving home with three people to care for him Grace. I'm sure you feel like the lucky one to have found him.
Sweet Gracie: I am so happy you are feeling better, I hope you are back into perfect health soon.
Murphy is adorable, I see lots of love in this post.
The rose runner is lovely, please post a photo when it comes back from the quilter.
Hugs

I am just so glad your health is improving my friend.What a little rascal he is! How wonderful that you and Lisa are sewing together.

Lovely to share your hobby with Lisa, i'm sure she will learn lots as you are so talented.
Lovely sewing.
Murphy is such a sweetie I can see he has brought allot of love into your home .

The table runner is so pretty! I can't believe it's been three months since Lisa and Alan arrived. So glad you're feeling better, I will definitely give some of the credit to sweet Murphy!
Three months already! It seems only five minutes since we had the daily countdown to their arrival.
I am glad your little puppy is settling into the family too.
that dog of yours is getting soiled by all of you guys. glad you have him and Alan and Lisa there with you. glad to hear you are feeling so much better. Depression is no fun. I live with it every day. Good thing I have pills and an understanding husband.he knows when I am not my best and tries to help. Love the roses. big hugs to you all
I'm sure having more 'life' in the house - does brighten your days! It's awesome that you get to craft with Lisa.
