That innocent face

 

Oh he is a cutie alright. Smart too. Murphy is also , as we say in Italian Diavolo....devil! As I was coming to the computer he tossed a toy in my path which caused me to trip and almost fall. While I was yelling  trying to quietly explain not to do this he ran to his hiding place under the sofa...you know with his butt and tail showing. How can I stay angry. Lisa and The Brother left for work so it is me and the dog today. Right now it is a nice temp outside so the sliders are open and Murphy loves going in and out. This Magic Screen is great!

Lisa and I are participating in a Quilted table runner SAL.... is you do not know it is a Stitch A-Long, created by Jacquelynne Steves. 

I do the embroidery and cutting and Lisa piece it together. She is doing a great job for a first timer. There are 2 more blocks to go, one released each Monday. I have completed the embroidery for #3.

Do you know Groot? I love him! So of course we have 2...


This is mine...just waiting for the air plants to arrive. 



This is Lisa's. 

I do not think I can live with just one! They are made of resin so they are lightweight. We ordered some air plants which should be arriving real soon.

Soon it will be one year (October 16th 2019) that Alan and Lisa arrived to live here. Time sure flies by. Many adjustments...still making them, add Murphy to the mix and some days it is like a 3 ring circus! I would not trade any moment.

 Time to get chores done as yet that housekeeper fairy has not arrived. I may have to look for another!!!!

So glad to chat with you. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

I love you Groot, loved the movies with him in it. Love your table runner. Yes, Murphy can be alittle devil. I see it in his eyes. Can't believe it's almost a year since your brother and Lisa moved in. Dennis would be happy about that and I am glad you are not alone any more. Big big hugs dear friend.
where did you get your groots, I would like one and have not seen any in stores around here. Bye Murphy be good.

Gracie: I have a cat who likes to be underfoot, the dog stays out of the way.
Murphy is adorable, I bet it looks adorable with his butt sticking out, what a giggle.
I like the quilted piece, the colors are very pretty together, I am looking forward to seeing them finished.
Your Groot's are so sweet, what a cute face, and different postures, so cute.
Have a great day, I hope that cleaning fairy shows up soon, giggles.

I have never seen a Groot before what fun can't wait to see the hair growing out of the top.
Time has gone by so fast since your family came to live with you.
They came just at the right time with this virus .
Have a lovely week hugs .

It is hard to believe that Alan and Lisa have been there a year already!
The Groot planters are very cute!

Nice joint effort on the table runners. The Groot plant holders are fabulous! I can't believe it's been a year since we were counting down to the Big Day when Alan and Lisa moved in. It's been quite The Year!

Wow, Gracie, it doesn't seem possible that they've been here a year. And what a year it has been! They say timing is everything and the timing couldn't have been better for their arrival here in AZ!

That table runner is turning out great - good job, Lisa and Gracie! And aren't those Groots just precious.
