That unguided rocket is a very apt description of what Ginger does, and if you think Bella would do that unleashed, then yeah - I'd take no chances either.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-5780497524124879622014-05-02T09:17:00.821-05:002014-05-02T09:17:00.821-05:00Thanks, Jill! :)Thanks, Jill! :)Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-55566399126397404492014-05-02T09:16:45.016-05:002014-05-02T09:16:45.016-05:00Thanks!

I credit some of this to all the tutorials and videos that are available now - I wore a path from my dining table (where the sewing machine was) to my office computer to recheck the instructions, lol. Plus, I think I have a bit more patience now, like in lining up the striped on the back to match. Wouldn't have occurred to me 35 years ago!<br /><br />P.S. I think you speak Paco perfectly. He says you are appointed as his spokesdog. ;)Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-16877885474204705262014-05-02T09:12:51.172-05:002014-05-02T09:12:51.172-05:00I'm with Debby - I think your pillow looks bet...I'm with Debby - I think your pillow looks better than the original!

I always think to myself,"its still much faster than hand-sewing!" Oh, and lining up the stripes?? I don't think I would have even attempted that! I can see you are going to become a sewer extraordinaire!<br /><br />I LOVE your bowls. And I'm with you. Even though the flower bowls are super cute, there's something very wonderful about the round ones.<br /><br />Sophie says "Hi Paco." "Who is this horrible Ginger that you speak of?

Gosh!! Even the tape around the edges?? Crazy. Looks soo wonderful! Makes me feel like maybe there is hope for me. Ha So impressed!<br />Cool bowls; I likey. Fun artsy shots. Paco & the flower caption made me laugh.<br /><br />Speaking of flowers & Paco; Gorgeous lillies! Wow. The other plant is cool too.<br /><br />Oh & Paco.....I think when Jeff called him back he was thinking: "Oh, yeah, dis running biz more werk than I realizd. It actwally exrsze! I go to Dad.

So he thought he was going on an adventure with Ginger :) Did he hesitate when Jeff called him or did he come straight home? <br />R. thinks Bella won't run away but I'm not so sure, that dog of mine is a unguided rocket when she sees a cat or a bird or something else. I'm not taking any chances with her :) <br /><br />Have a great weekend my friend. Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287705328335828286noreply@blogger.com
