Hurricanes, Bunnies, Coats, Etc.

Hello, readers! With Hurricane Sandy set to hit the east coast today, I wanted to post a quick announcement that the sew-along may be disrupted this week. Our region is pretty much expected to lose power due to high winds. I sure do depend on that power stuff! I will do my best to get a post up today on the coat's next steps, though.

Halloween may also be disrupted, but I am still going to insist that Rosie don a costume. While we were originally going to be witches together, I stumbled across a better idea for her.

What is that I see in the bottom right corner?

A bunny! Okay, it's actually supposed to be a lamb costume, but it really looks like a bunny. And Rosie would be the cutest little bunny, don't you think?

That's her in her new winter coat, which I made from a fabulous cheetah print fleece. (And yes, that's me in my jammies and fuzzy socks in the background.)

Anyway, bunnies! If all goes well, you'll be seeing Rosie all bunnied-up in the next few days.

Most importantly, I hope everyone is staying safe throughout the storm. Batten down those hatches and stay dry!

  4. Honestly, I can't believe there is a pattern set for people who want to dress up with their small dogs! I have a small dog, too. Her name is Lucy, and she is a chihuahua, rat terrier mix. My son is going to be Harry Potter this year and we were going to try to dress Lucy up as Dobby. It will be so cute!

  8. Stay safe warm and cozy.

    I live in Australia and have been through 2 hurricanes, be prepared for the possibility of several days of power outages, candles, matches, radio with loads of batteries, fill bathtub, buckets etc with water. Loads of food too.

    Thinking of you all over there who are affected by this
