#31dayblogchallenge Day Two

So while we are still in the 'getting to know you phase', meet Pooka and the Biscuit!  These 2 sweet ruffians have stolen my heart in ways I will never understand.  Pooka is on the left looking right at us in the photo.  We had her for two years when we adopted Biscuit who was extremely quiet and shy for the first 6 months or so.  This is because Pooka is the alpha and treated him awful (still does).  This is a rare moment indeed when he finally stood up to her because he wanted that toy too!  They are just the cutest, funniest, most annoying little pups in my world and I wouldn't have it any other way!

I had never had terriers before for a good reason...Stubborn!! These are soft coated wheatens and they are SO SOFT!!  It is way more fun to hug a pup that won't leave you covered in hair:))

Thankfully they are respectful of my quilts and supplies even when he wants to park all 60 lbs. of his butt on me while I am trying to work in the evening.  He has no respect for boundaries and I love it:)

Who is your little quilt companion?

Don't forget to pop over and see who else is posting this week!

LOVE

February 'LOVE' Get Pumped BOM

FEBRUARY

Soooo many choices to reflect LOVE....do I go shiny? Do I add lots of hearts?  There was a version of this shoe where the heel consisted of about 7 hearts descending in size.  It seemed a bit over kill and I just love the simplicity of this one:)  You will see I did keep the idea as a quilting suggestion though. Plus I just happened to have a piece of this Fantastic batik still sitting around and it was the perfect size!

 

This heel represents what I would like to be able to wear.  I probably could pull it off with a great pair of jeans and cute top.  The bigger problem though is how uncomfortable I would be in these shoes and I am all about comfort:)

 

This LOVEly pump is 12" square to fit on the originally designed (by me) Ackfeld metal hanger. 

 

Hopefully you have already signed up for the Starter Kit.  If not, this BOM is open enrollment so still plenty of time.

 

Since it is now February 15th, the templates for the February shoe are available for purchase on my website BOM 2015 page.

 

**NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR:)

Originally this project was set up so that you would pay for the templates and they would be an immediate download.  Due to a VAT (Value Added Tax) put into place overseas on digital products, I had very limited options as to how I could keep the digital aspect but not be subjected to a very disorganized new law.

 

When you pay for the templates on my website, a payment notification will be sent to me.  Once I have received this notification, I will then email you the PDFs of the templates.  Please be sure that your email address associated with Paypal is correct so that you can receive these files.  I will email within 24 hours of payment.  Thank you so much for your understanding.

**End of message**

 

I am very excited about watching this BOM progress and seeing how all of you use different fabrics to achieve a new shoe each month.  Please share your progress on my FB page.  This is also where you will find additional tips about how I went about making these sweet shoes.

Happy Quilting:)
