I’m having a couple special guests at my place right now, please meet Elijah the cat and Peep the dog~ They belong to my friend, and I agreed to pet sitting for her while she is on vacation.

Peep is a sensitive little thing. She waited by the front door for a whole day and whole night before accepting the fact that her owner is not coming back to pick her up. After that, she follows me every where, even waits by the bathroom door when I’m using the loo… She is such a sweetheart~~

Elijah likes all the attention. He would sit right in front of my computer while I was working just so he could get some love. He also likes to nap on my working table, so that I won’t forget him. I was never a cat person, but I think Elijah just turned me into one~

They are both such a joy to have around~~ I sure will miss them when they go home.

Thank you all for visiting~ What’s happening on your corner?

Spotting Birds~

Is it really Friday already?! This week just seems to fly by so fast. Since my mom was here, I didn’t have too much time to stitch, but I still managed to start a new project. It is Wash Day by Carriage House Samplings~ I first saw it on Barbi’s blog and totally fell in love with it!!! This is where I’m at so far.

I’m also getting ready for my next LHN ornament stitch. I coffee dyed the fabric today but I’m thinking it is still too light to my liking. I will have to re-dye it tomorrow and hopefully it will get darker.

After coming back from the long weekend. I discovered the baby doves have hatched!!! I finally got a shot of them today when mother dove wasn’t sitting on top of them~~

My rose bush also bloomed over the weekend. I’m so happy to see this cause this is my first rose bush~~ I’m so glad I didn’t killed it!! Isn’t it just gorgeous?!

Thanks for visiting!!!
