More Magnets & A Puppy

Well hello there. You may have noticed that I haven't been all that active lately. Or rather, that I haven't been active at all in the last three weeks. Photographic evidence of my serious distraction follows. But I'll get to that in a minute. What I have managed to accomplish, and yes, it's not a huge accomplishment but right now I'm happy to have something, anything, if not something particularly significant in any way. I so enjoy this little patchwork pillow magnet project. This time, instead of using Bliss, I used some Cloud 9 polka-dot in a lovely aqua, Joel Dewberry's Modern Meadow, and...oh yeah, Bliss. The white on white dots are from the Bliss line. But don't they work well with these other two fabrics? I'm in love with the aqua dot to the point of not wanting to use it because then it will be gone. I do that all the time and then I'll end up being sick of it before I ever even used it. I really need to get over that and go use it up. Maybe I'll use it to make a tote for myself or to make the Henny Penny and her 6 Chicks pattern from Anna Maria Horner. But I digress...
So here they are, a few more of the many patchwork pillow magnets in the works. And then there's this:

Meet Avery. Our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy who came home 3 weeks ago today. She is now 10 weeks old and has already grown so much that I get sentimental over it. Not that that is a stretch, since I get sentimental pretty darn easily. But still, the point is, we have a new furry member of our family and we are in love. And tired. Puppies are tiring. Did you know? I thought I did. Now I know for sure.
She wakes up at 5 am and goes bonkers for 2 hours and then does this for about 8 hours.
She's a love.
And now do you understand why I'm getting nothing done?
