My last two days have been spent cutting and sewing martingale collars to restock the Greyhounds Rock booth for two shows we are doing this weekend. Working two shows on the same day means that we have to split our stock, and I have to make more collars than I usually do.
Alice was with me for company for a while as I worked.
I'm still not finished. Though I wanted to do other things tomorrow, I will spend at least half of the day continuing to sew.
Each collar we sell is $20 more donated to the cause ... with the goal to one day find effective treatments (and eventually a cure) for canine cancer ... this keeps me motivated.
For those of you who are local, you can find Greyhounds Rock at Fredericksburg's Downtown Dog Fair on Saturday, and at the Fredericksburg Wine Festival on Saturday and Sunday.

Edited on Friday morning to add:
Ms. Alice got a bit too involved with the process of cutting strips of iron-on adhesive this morning. She swished her plume of a tail across the path of my rotary cutter ... lost a puff of tail fur in the encounter. I shooed her down off the table after this.
Anyway ... I have to back to sewing now.
Girl, I've never understood how you ever find time to blog. You stay so busy! Sew on. I'll be here when you show up.
ReplyDeleteHi Connie, You do stay so busy! I love hearing what you've been up to. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at both of the shows...I hope you raise lots of money!!! Your collars are beautiful and so is your heart.

Don't you just love when the cat decides to "help" with sewing projects? I figured out the our "helpful" felines are the reason I don't do much sewing anymore. :-)
ReplyDeleteI won't be able to make it to either show, but would love to purchase a couple of collars to help the cause. Could you just pick out a large "girly" one for Angel (no hello kitty please!) and something in blue or red if you have it in medium for Mosby? I'll give you the money when we have lunch. (If you sell out this weekend no worries, I'll just put in an order.) Good luck with the fundraisers!
ReplyDeleteI just love that Dorothy is your little shadow, Connie. What a sweetheart! Have fun at the show and I wish you loads of sales!! :)
