A Cute Face Will Serve One Well in Life's Tribulations...........

Proof Positive that with a Cute Face, One Can Commit All Kinds of Havoc Without Serious Repercussion
I'm happy to report the Duct Tape on the Refrig door was a success and the schnoodle did NOT get to have his way with the New Year's Turkey although we did share bites with him and the schnauzer (yeah, they are spoiled).  The Schnoodle, Shitmire MacGuire aka Jerry, however, has reeked his revenge.  He stopped asking to go outside to do his duty and started using my sewing room AGAIN.  Probably the DIRECT result of Turkey Deprivation.  The carpet is getting thin from being shampoo'd so often....as is my patience with this.  Just when I thought I had this problem whipped Jerry throws me a curve ball -- well in this case it's ball of dog sh..t!

I reported I finished my granddaughter's dress and here is a shot of her in it.
Granddaughter in the dress/pinafore with #2 Son/Daddy
What you probably cannot tell from the picture is that the pinafore is inside out.  Daddy, who is apparently Little Girl Dress Challenged, dressed her!  We left it as it was, and went on with our Christmas celebration. Daddy told me she insisted on the tights with her black shoes so maybe next time she will tell him it's inside-out!

New Year's Resolution for 2011 - Ride More and maybe do other things like Work, Housework, Paperwork, Television, Internet & Email, LESS.   And Learn to knit in 2011.

New Project in Progress:
Top of Christening Suit in Progress
I've started the Christening suit for my new grandson.  It has to be done by the 23rd when he will be Christened.  I found I like making these 'heritage' type sewing projects even though it's hard sometimes as things are so SMALL like sleeve openings and cuffs.  I'll post as I go along.

Ladies and Gentlemen, We Give you Exhibit No. One.........................

Yes, Duct Tape, the all-purpose material on which Modern Society is Built.  Duct Tape.  Said Exhibit One will be used on Exhibit Two.
Exhibit Two - the refrigerator, one of the greatest inventions of Modern Society.   The Refrigerator.

That is correct - here North of Nowhere, Land of the Frozen -10F at night, we will begin 2011 by taping the door of Exhibit Two SHUT with Exhibit One.   And why, you ask?

Because the house smells delicious.  This is in the oven................Exhibit Three.

A Turkey, slowly roasting to a Nice Plump Golden Brown.  It's just the Hubby & I today but I had this in the freezer and thought we would start the New Year out with a scrumptious dinner and LOTS of Leftovers for Turkey Sandwiches!

And Because Exhibit Four still lives here,  we must safeguard the Turkey Leftovers......................
Exhibit Four - Shitmire MacGuire aka Jerry.  Who has been caught red-winged with a turkey leg AFTER he opened the refrigerator several years ago.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE A ROLL OF DUCT TAPE HANDY!
