Merry Christmas from Lani, Diamond, and Eddie

Santa Photo 2010

Eddie, my foster Woody, and Daisey had their Christmas photo made with Santa. Do I need to tell you how hard it is to keep three terriers attention and ON Santa's lap long enough to snap a photo?

The photograpoher kept trying to get one where Ed's ear didn't cover up part of Santa - like that is possible :) I wanted to tell her I didn't care about Santa's face but I didn't want to be rude to Santa!

Naughty or Nice

Over the weekend I opened up a very old picture frame to remove the photo and tucked between the cardboard behind the photo and the actual hard back of the frame was this old newspaper clipping from Dec 1964.

It's my first grade class! Can you believe it? I'm the one next to Santa and he is turned toward me as though I have done something naughty, LOL.

Secret Santa

I am close to getting my Secret Santa packages out. For the SS gift swap on Rat-Terrier.com I made pajamas and one vest. Need one more vest.

I usually hoard my dragonfly fabric but I was good and used some for this vest :)

I'm also a Secret Santa for two Ratbone fosters and have finished with their gifts because there was no sewing involved - only purchasing. I'll find their photos and bios and post about them another time.

My final projects are to sewing 3 pairs of jammies (one down, two to go) and one vest. I bought a big bag of chicken jerky to go with those so the dog's aren't diappointed, LOL. I just picture the dogs reaction to pajamas would be like a kid getting underware. HA!

We've already received one box of gifts from an exchange but I haven't let them have the toys yet; however, I am not as mean as it sounds because there were homemade dog cookies and I've been giving them one everyday.
