I *MUST* Be Sew Crazy

At 7:30 AM today when I should have been getting ready for work by ironing my shirt,  I was ironing fabric.. then  cutting fabric.. then cutting interfacing… well heck..

in for a penny, in for a pound, right?

So I cut my wonderunder (fusible stuff..).. and then..

well.. I made the fabric strips for Saint Lover’s collars.

They are 1/2 done!

It’s the Great Pumpkin!

oh wow! I can’t WAIT to make collars out of this!
I think I can get as small as 1 1/2 inch wide on this… This is going to look so awesome on Lora’s St.Bernards Brutus and Rufus!

I’m In Love

I’m in Love with this Collar. I’m so bummed that I can’t find any more fabric like this.

~sigh~

This is the second to last one… I can make ONE more of the small 5/8 inch width like this.

We interupt this program

things have slowed down a bit. My Targie has a hematoma on his spleen, which means surgery to remove it. We are hoping that this is nothing and not a malignant tumor.

Cross your fingers and paws for my boy.
