Last post from vet visit

Yay for more greens! No real news to report since my last post from a couple of days ago (vet visit), except that I bought two cans of Wellness Core that were both mouldy which was pretty darn icky. Never had that happen before, and I'll be returning them for a refund when I got into town next. You should have seen The Princess' face as I opened one can, didn't put anything in her dish, opened another can, still didn't put anything in her dish, and *finally* she got some tucker on the third try - so funny to watch her expressions change!

On a totally unrelated note, I'm telling everyone who'll listen that I entered a purse that I made into our local country fair today, and I won first place!! I'm so excited, as I've only been sewing for about 18 mths so to get a first place is so amazing. Here's my winning entry, which is a gift for my mum. It has a twist lock, two keyring holders, card slots, zipper pocket and a centre compartment to hold a mobile phone:

That's awesome Tara; congratulations! Beautiful purse!
Nice start to the day for Ivana!

Congratulations on the 1st Prize

Congratulations. That's a cool purse.

Yuck on the moldy food. I had that happen once with some 9 Lives.

Well done Tara clever you, what a lovely purse.

 

[Olive & Paula]

I've sewn for years but I could never do those gusset and slots. Very nice and the colors are great.

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

Wow! I see a cottage business in your future, Tara! That is really impressive. I can't sew a straight line with a machine to save my life!

Love the story about Ivana and the moldy cans (not the moldy part, the expressions). I'm sure she thought you were being horribly mean and teasing her!

 

[Amy&TrixieCat]

Congratulations - that purse is awesome!!! Blech on the moldy food, thogh!

 

[jayla-n-Drevon]

so pretty!

What a good looking purse

Ugh on the mouldy food - that seems really weird though to get not one but two cans of mouldy food in a row. Were they damaged at all?

No. I'm thinking it might have been something dodgy in the sealing process, maybe? I bought them together last week so they were almost certainly from the same batch.

I love it. (Even if it is pink and yellow!!!!) Ivana, you're in charge of the Green!

It took me a minute to work out why you don't like pink and yellow!

I bet you could! It wasn't difficult at all. Here's the pattern if you want to give it a go
