Can you believe I forgot to put some pictures of Lucy in her “Who Am I” story? Well, here you go.
My First Siggie
I learned about something new last week. Signature blocks, using block D13 from the Dear Jane quilt, called siggies for short, are made and exchanged by people all over the world. I joined my first exchange with a quilter in The Netherlands. She will be adding my name to a list of people who want to exchange siggies. She is sending me one of her siggies. I’m anxiously watching the mail. I have made six siggies of my own that are ready to be exchanged. As I receive them, I will post them here. This seems like it will be a fun, exciting project collecting these blocks from all over the world.
Who Am I?
Lucy Belle Lindberg joined our family on January 27, 2008. Oh, what a time it has been! It’s been many years since we’ve had a baby around this house but we’ve got one now. You have to watch her 24/7. Luckily she is only four months old now so she still sleeps a lot. But she needs to be fed on schedule and cleaned up after, if you know what I mean, and played with and exercised every day. Several times a day, actually. But what joy and laughter she has brought to this house.
Lucy weighs twelve and one half pounds as of today. She has doubled her weight each month these first four months. She has most of her permanent teeth now and sure can bite hard. She loves to chew on your hand, your shoe, your newspaper, your shirt, your Crocs….whatever she can get her teeth into. You guessed it. Lucy isn’t a human baby…she is a puppy and the love of our life. Lucy is a Scottish Terrier and the cutest thing you ever saw.
Lucy has Daddy and Momma wrapped around her paw. Whatever she wants, she gets. She is so much fun and no one told me how much trouble and work a puppy is. She has learned how to jump up on our lap, on the couch or chair and nothing is safe on our end tables or coffee table. She is very curious and wants to be part of everything we do. She “shadows” her Momma all the time and has gotten stepped on a few times because of it. She’ll learn, I hope, or Momma will.
More about Lucy soon….
