The Andreasen Family has a new member~ Freckles the Puppy

She is an American Eskimo/ Terrier mix, 6 months old, freshly spayed, 16 lbs & still growing (just a little more).

George chose her, we adopted her from a working family with little kids that just didn’t have the extra energy to put in to a rambunctious puppy.

She is well behaved, pretty easily trained, and very, very easy tempered. She plays when it’s time to play, she stops when it’s time to stop.
She likes to nap on the couch with the kids. Loves to lay with her Daddy and be rubbed all over.

We were very blessed to find her now, just when our family needed a little pick-us-up (and a nearly free one at that)!

Birthday Quilt from Mom on Flickr – Photo Sharing!.
I wanted a good picture of the detailed quilt work Mom did on the inner panel. She used a cream thread for the center panel and multi-colored thread for the side panels and borders. Beautiful free motion (I think she said something about floating stitch, I really have no clue what you call all the quilting stitches) quilting. She does not use templates, it’s just her natural talent to quilt evenly and artistically.

I love the centerpiece. It reminds me of tole painting my Mom did for years & years. Plus, it’s very 1970’s which she knows I love!
