Today I hope is the last day injury to me myself and I! There was the fall tripping over the carpet edge in the lanai while dodging Murphy.
Then while slicing radishes on the mandolin... a small chunk of my finger went and so did the radish! Lisa was quick to wrap it for me...good nurse.
Then while walking Murphy he crossed in front of me and in a tangle...let's just say matching scraped knees. This morning as I was attempting to rescue Lisa's belt to her robe I now have matching elbows. There is a pattern here.... but I won't mention any dogs name! Lisa told me to just sit this afternoon while she is working.
I just can not stay angry with this lover boy. This is the view looking down while sitting in my rocking chair.... love him, to pieces ❤Some of the fault is with me not being more attentive. We will have a solution...just spoke with Jolie at PetSmart to enroll Murphy in classes to start in February...goodness, that is just about a week away….He knows "sit, out, walk and treat" now we need stay stop and no barking at the other dog. I told him that is no way to make friends and have play dates!
Since my finger has healed enough to sew....

Had to take the picture in 2 parts....There are 6 center flowers and then the edge flowers...my own idea to finish the runner. It measures just 14 1/2 x 60 inches.
Loved making this. I definitely will be making more with this pattern. The back is the same as the sides. Next week on one of Lisa's days off we will make the Burrito Pillowcase from the kit we bought.
In a day or so, we will be enjoying our first tomato from the kitchen garden. Several others are already yellow. Keeping a certain pooch out of this garden has been a challenge. Did I mention we will be putting fencing around the planted areas? He spends time daily pruning anything growing....
Well, I figured while things are quiet around here it would be a good time to post. Mornings seem to get away from me. I am still walking with Murphy 3 times a day and have lost some weight and my blood pressure is down. It has been so nice to chat with you today. I must try to return to more frequent posting. Thank you for the kind words and for your friendship.

So sorry about your hand. I understand the mandolin is very dangerous.
Murphy is a little devil but sooo cute. I trip all the time. Uncle took up all our scatter rugs. My Fibromyalgia makes me dippy some days.
Gracie: I am so sorry this is happening to you, Mike had about like yours after a little while he is fall, skin and bump free.
I am loving the piece the flowers are lovely and the colors are fantastic.

Eek, that's a lot of accidents! Hopefully as time passes, you'll become more aware of where Murphy is, and he'll become quieter as well!
Yes, some little doggie needs training, and that mandolin is dangerous. Never use one. I don't need one to loss finger tips. Love the tomato's/ Your runner is beautiful. Take care and rest today. Big hugsluv
Your table runner is gorgeous! Sweet little Murphy, I don't blame you for not being able to stay perturbed with him. On the other hand, you definitely can't keep being injured by falls. He'll get the hang of good behavior soon!
Oh Gracie you have been in the wars with your little accidents. Hope they heal quickly.
Love the table runner, its stunning.
I think some training sounds like a very good idea! Either that, or you'll have to wear protective gear like skateboarders do!
Nice to hear that the regular doggy walks are having a good effect on your health as well as your happiness.
Oh Gracie! I hope your finger is totally healed now. As well as your other scrapes. I look forward to hearing about your obedience classes!
Oh goodness - I hope your finger heals soon! How awful for you, that must have been so shocking.
I do love your runner - the flowers look so pretty - beyond shabby chic. They look like they could be plucked off the runner and put in a vase. Such beautiful work...
Oh no! I'm a little late to commenting on blogs. I hope by now you're healed up. have 3 cats and have learned the hard way to always look down before turning around to walk off. With my bad knees, I am in fear of falling on them and doing some damage. Your table runner share turned out wonderful. I don't blame you for wanting another. Nothing like fresh tomatoes! Have a great weekend you three!
Oh Gracie, another hand injury!! That looks just awful. I hope you heal quickly. Pets always seem to get underfoot, we just have to look out for them. Love your quilted project, the flowers are so cheerful.
