If You Give a Moose a Muffin......


 We had a Mama Moose and her calf stay around the house for four days! That never happens. And  honestly, I didn't even try to give them a muffin! It certainly made things difficult, like trying to walk the dog, or even go outside. My shoveling got put on hold. The Mama wasn't aggressive, but the calf was, he charged my husband and our dog once. We had a couple of sleepless nights when they decided to hang around the front door and even came up on to our side walkway that leads to the carport. Poor dog! I am sure she thought  was protecting us with all her barking. LOL They finally left when my husband moved our truck, they saw that and ran off.  Of course we took lots of photos and videos. It was interesting to watch them. Who knew moose groomed themselves. They also seem to be adapting to the deep snow, they would climb up on our huge piles of snow to reach higher branches on the birch trees. 










In quilting news I redid the la st block for the Ladies' Aid BOM. Below is the one I prepped, but I was just not happy with it.




This is the new version, all finished. Much happier with this one.




I have also gotten a little hand quilting done on a very old project, Spring Time Album. I will be working on this today for "Slow Stitching Sunday".

Next block marked and ready to quilt.



This is my little sewing box I keep my hand quilting items in. 


Photo chart I use to keep track of my progress.



Not as much sewing this week as I would have liked. so much snow to shovel. Now that the moose left am back to it. I keep working at bit by bit. I will be linking up with Kathy's Slow Stitching group, HERE Happy Quilting, Rebecca
