HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STEWEY

Exactly eleven years ago today, in the cornfields of Ligonier, Indiana at the place known as Willowswamp Farm, the love of my life was born.

His name...Stewey Angus McGrunty VonNudgie Piddlekins Little Skittles BabyDear Willowswamp.

From the moment I held him in my arms I knew that he was my BabyDarling and I, his Mommie Dearest.  It has been exactly eleven years of bliss with this little creature and I am sure I would not be here to tell about it were it not for his presence in my life.

So Happy Birthday, my Stewey Little.  I could not love you more if I had given birth to you myself.



In stitchy news...I finally finished the background of Bird in a Nest!  Now it's on to the fun stuff like those lollipop flowers and the big dragonfly in the corner.  I can't wait to see what Miss Ruth has in store for me next!


Happy Friday, kids!  We're off like a herd of cake eating, party hat wearing turtles today!  I'm off to the studio to collect my things for Guild tomorrow morning at the library.  Do something fun and then come tell us all about it!

  1. Happy birthday Stewey. My dogs always insisted on a ride to Arby's for their day followed by a Dairy Queen baby cup. I'm sure you'll get extra pampering today too.

  4. Love the way the piece is coming along. The other good news is that Stewey and I share the same birthday, although not the same year. That really does blow my skirt up!! Happy Birthday to a fellow Taurus!!

  7. Happy birthday, Stewey!! Please give him a belly rub, a butt rubbie, and an ear scratch from me. I know exactly how you feel, Coni - I feel the same way about my Westie Mello. What would our lives be without them!

  12. Dear Stewey's Mother - Please tell Stewey Happy Birthday for me and give him a special kiss on his cute little nose. Stewey and I are both lucky to own fur parents that adore us to the moom and back. I'm not a big fan of dogs, but I think I'd really like you. Your friend, Smokey (I'm a princess cat... my mom says so)

  16. Your work is just beautiful. I enjoy watching you stitch through this piece.

    As for Mr. Stewey, he is a lovable guy. I know what you mean about the company he provides you. I laugh when my Buddy tilts his head as if trying to understand the words. I sometimes have to remember that he really is a dog and not just my roommate.
