I'm sure my blog followers will be very excited to read about my trip to Norway, and in a few days I'll post lots of pictures and tell you all about my epic adventures. Unfortunately whilst I was away, our beautiful black labrador, Magic, died as a result of a tragic accident. I cannot begin to descibe how devasted we all are - she was such a huge part of our lives, and we feel totally lost without her. She has left a huge gap that can never be replaced.

Today Magic, our black lab, was a very lucky girl - a parcel arrived for her, all the way from Australia - Lynette Anderson had made her dog, Hugo, a new collar with fabric from her "stitches" collection and I had posted a comment about it on her blog (Magic and me were both lucky enough to meet Lynette last year), saying that Magic was now very jealous of Hugo, and Lynette very kindly offered to make a new collar for Magic!! It arrived today, and as you can see Magic looks splendid in it - (Lynette, you can't imagine how long it took to get this photograph of her - eventually it was the promise of walkies with Mr F that got her attention hehe!!) Well this was the sight that greeted me this morning - not only had "That Hairy Hound" devoured some more of my Christmas table decoration and left the evidence laying on the carpet (another chewed up tangerine and some more bedraggled looking bay leaves - see "The Perfect Christmas Tree" blogpost 2 for more info on that), and not only was she asleep in Mr F's chair..... but she was laying on ONE OF MY QUILTS!!! ..... she really is well and truely in the dog house today - but does she look bothered?? Not a bit of it!! Anyway, as it is bitterly cold outside today, I plan to spend the rest of the day indoors in the warm with my sewing machine. I bought this kit from Quilters Haven on Saturday, and I'm using it to make a cushion for mother-in-law's Christmas present. The pattern is really simple, a mixture of patchwork and appliqué - I'll use some of the Christmas fabrics in my stash to make up some more of these - although I might change the appliqué designs a bit.
