Foster Dog #9 - Baxter

This is Baxter, who joined us last Friday.

He is an 18 month old male labrador and a real gentle giant. He is a little overweight at the moment so Baxter will be having a diet and exercise regime while he's staying at our house.

Quilt 4 - Jen's Graduation Quilt

When my sister completed her Doctorate, I gave her this quilt to say congratulations. We'd picked out the basic pattern together (appropriately named 'Sister's Choice') and then chose the fabrics together.

It's totally hand-quilted and I was very pleased with the finished product.

Foster Dog #8 - Jed

This is our current foster dog Jed. Jed is the brother of Jake, who is the previous foster dog we had. Jed is a total darling and we are loving having him at our house until he finds his permanent home.

Quilt 3 - Christmas Stars

This is the third quilt I ever made. I designed it and it was inspired by a cute country star with check fabric that I saw in a magazine. I think I made this around 2005/2006. I especially love the red cardinal star centres and the border print.

Quilt 2 - Green Squares

This is the second quilt I made. Very basic, but a nice puffy wadding that makes it great for curling up on the lounge.

Lola

This is my sister's pet cockatiel Lola. Lola was only 12 weeks old when we got her last Christmas Eve. As you can see from the photo, she got quite attached to our (fake) Christmas tree.

Looking Back - Foster Dog #4 (Fella)

Here is the last in the series of previous foster dogs. This is Fella, who was our fourth foster dog. Fella was a good dog but wanted to be the top dog all the time, which caused some tension in the backyard dynamics with Honey. Fella has now found his permanent home, where I believe there is a more dominant dog than him and he has learnt that being top dog isn't always necessary.
