Ozzie! What did you do? Look at me....
Bad dog. That is not a toy. That is a very expensive ball of yarn I was saving for something. How did you get that? Oh Ozzie. What am I going to do with you?
I was in my sewing room, trying to cut out the red, white and green fabric everyone told me should be my next project, and was concentrating really hard. I had chosen a Miss Rosie pattern called Toulouse for the quilt, and it involved cutting an awful lot of 1 1/2 inch squares. I mean A LOT of squares. I took a break long enough to check my email, where I had a message from Lisa, suggesting I simplify things and do strip piecing instead of cutting all those squares. Bother. Why didn't I think of that? Harumph. Luckily, I think I have enough fabric to cut out the strips I need.
Back to the sewing room, where I find Ozzie has helped himself to a ball of yarn from the knitting basket and has made a royal mess of things.
Honestly, things are just not going all that well today. My husband left for a week's trip, trusting that Ozzie and I would stay out of trouble. He has only been gone for five hours and look at the pickle we are in.
Man, oh man. I was the one who wanted a dog.
Have a great weekend everyone!!
But he is so very cute!

Lord Luv a Duck these puppies and their delusions of grandeur!
You know they have intentions of being artsy, right? The hole in the sweater needed mending - come on - he's trying to help out here?!

You are having the same kind of week I am having with my sewing machines. Can't find one that wants to work like I want it to, lol. Cheer up, there's always tomorrow.

I'm telling you, I LOVE this dog!

A pickle, indeed. Oh my goodness, he is cute as can be, even when he is being so naughty! I guess that pretty ball of yarn was just too tempting for Ozzie.

Bad Dog Ozzie!!! You're so darn cute, you can get away with anything!!!

Are you sure he's not part Schnauzer??? They must have a naughty gene in common somewhere up the tree....but, he's too cute!!!

ROFLOL!!!!! That Ozzie is hysterical. Of course he's YOUR child, not MINE. That's why I find him so funny.

My dog Rocket was like that.. it took so much longer to get him whipped into shape. (No whipping involved) I recognize many Rockety hijinks and the exact look Ozzie is giving in that photo.

Oh my, but how can you get mad at him with that face. I just love the adventures of Ozzie. He always makes me smile :-)!

He's such a charmer. Kind of like my second son who always was so cute he could get away with murder.
Hey, girlfriend, remember your snowball blocks quilt pic that you posted on September 18? Take a look at what you inspired -- the blocks are on my wall just itching to be assembled!
