Dog name poll

We are having a lovely time at the lake. Perfect weather, surprisingly warm water for Lake Michigan, and lots of fun family times. It would be just about the perfect family vacation, except we are missing A., and it just isn't the same without her. Boooo! I'll have lots of pictures to share with everyone when we return. But, in the meantime, I have a little poll for you. TM is working on naming his new puppy, and has it down to between two names. He really likes each of them, and can't really decide which is his favorite. He asked me to ask my blog readers for their opinion. First, here is a picture of the puppy.

She is the puppy on the left. Cute, huh?

Here are your choices: Do you like Aster or Ivy better? Please comment with your answer. 

And now, I need to head back down to the beach.

Aster! Sounds like there's a story there- some background to the name which is always interesting.

I'm assuming it is a girl? She doesn't seem to be an Ivy to me so I think I would go with Aster, although I think of a boy with that name.

My vote is Ivy....also agree it is easier to call from a
distance....

Aster might sound like "ass" from a distance. Seems more
a male name in addition.

I vote Ivy. Aster is too much like a bad word.

Making bias tape... otherwise known as the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway

Image
( Sorry, the contest is now closed .... though you're welcome to leave a comment if you like.) It's Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway time again.  I love bias tape.  It is so useful and so easy to use... finishing edges ... finishing seams ...  And while the pre-packaged stuff has it's place and I use it often, I really like to have patterned bias tape as well.  Enter one of my favorite little tools: the bias tape maker.  This one make 3/4 inch bias tape and I will be giving one away at the end of this post.  But first, I thought some of you might like to see what it does if you've never used one before. I don't have a rotary cutter, nice cutting mats, or even a proper cutting table (I cut-out things on my floor), so if I can do this, so can you.  Here is my admittedly quirky method. Step 1:  Lay out the fabric and fold a corner over to find the bias.  The woven threads should be at right angles to the part you turned up. Step 2:  Using a ruler and some sort of mark

Apple picking in the rain

Image
Today was our planned day to go and pick apples.  It was raining off and on, but when it comes to fruit, we don't let a little water get in our way so off we went.  We met our friends and enjoyed their company and picked a lot of apples (3 1/2 bushels).  We also ate quite a few. G.  L. K.  (with an apple nearly as big as his head) P8, TM and L. Now, I don't know about you, but even picking 7 bags of apples does not take us very long.  It's a shame to drive so far only to turn around and go home, so we packed lunches, headed to a park, and enjoyed the now sunny weather. TM and P8 A good day all around.  Of course now I have to do something with all these apples...

Kenzie on the beach

Image
We have made it back home. I am feeling a little more balanced, but it was hard saying goodbye to a house we've created such meaningful memories in for the past 34 years. I'll write more about both later.  In the meantime enjoy pictures of Kenzie living his best life as a beach dog.  Note the ears blowing in the wind (Photo credit TM) (Photo credit for the rest MC)
