Miss Scout is a bit indignant. If you look closely at her left rear paw, you will see why.
She has to wear a sock, of all things! She is not happy. The other day I discovered that one of the pads on her foot was very red and irritated. It looked like she scraped it on something. It was bleeding, so after a little clean-up and some neosporin, I grabbed one of my socks and on it went. And to add to the indignity, each time she goes outside we have to slip a plastic bag over her foot with a rubberband to keep the sock dry. Sensitive soul that she is, she actually went into a funk for a day or two. However, she has now come to terms with the whole thing. Sort of. She is like an elephant, though, she never forgets – which is why I am on the receiving end of that stare.
Aren’t these the most scrumptious colors? I went to Michael’s yesterday to look for a bigger hoop (couldn’t find one,) a needle threader (found it and it has saved my eyes and my patience!) and some more floss. They are so beautiful, I just had to take a picture.
I’m having so much fun on this embroidery stitchalong! To tell you the truth, I have not been motivated to quilt or knit in a long while. I did a lot of piecing when I was in San Diego last year. And I’ve picked up my knitting many times – knit a couple of rows – and then ignored it for weeks on end. This embroidery is so portable. I can pick it up any time and stitch a little square or two. Each of the colors of floss in the photo were about 30 cents each – much less expensive than yarn or fabric. I wouldn’t mind embroidering a pattern but I really like the free form style of embroidery. Okay. On to Square #7:
This one is entitled “Ode to Claudia’s Blue Eyeglasses with a guest appearance by her Purple Coneflowers.” (Boy, it is so much easier to get a good close-up on a sunny day!)
Have a wonderful Sunday. Ours promises to be sunny and in the low 50’s! Does this mean that Spring is on the way?
Ouch!! Scout truly looks cute though.
I chuckled when I saw the eyeglass embroidery, honey. You’re toooo cute.

Poor Scout. Sometimes like just stinks! She’s still looking mighty beautiful though. Your thread colors are very pretty, very Spring-like. I hope your Sunday is wonderful too!
That pretty blue and lavender are my fave colours :)
Poor pooch, she must be embarrassed having her friends see her looking so inelegant :( No doubt she gives not a moments appreciation to your care and concern!
Hello Claudia,
Yes, I can see that Miss Scout is a bit outdone..I can only imagine the plastic bag and rubber band accessory..:0) I know she just loves that!
I so love your free form style of embroidery.
We had sunny skies and up in the 60’s today…must mean that rain is on the way. :0)
Have a great day..
♥ Love & Faerie Dust ♥

Scout is sooo cute & your embroidery sooo pretty:)
And yes! Spring is on the way…yippeeee!
Poor Scout! My Golden Doodle is also Scout (officially Jean Louise Finch) as she is named for the character in To Kill a Mockingbird.
yes, I love those colors. I meant to buy some new floss at Hobby Lobby last night after work and forgot. I want to do another punch needle rug and I love this color combination you’ve chosen! Very pretty!

She does look indignant! Dogs are so like humans….I’m just sure my Bogart has human facial expressions :) Hope her paw gets healed up soon!
You newest square is so adorable. What a fun way to ‘document’ your life and those things that define you and yours….
Claudia,
Thanks for stopping by. I haven’t been quilting either. I have been crocheting and loving it.
I will feature my afghan soon.
Love your embroidery – colors are scrumptious!
Carol
Oh, no… a boo-boo on the paw. Glad to see he has such a good mom to take care of him
What a fun square for number 7. Great idea.
Have I told you I’m jealous of your blue display bench for setting up pictures. It’s perfect.

Hi Claudia,
Poor doggie doesn’t realize that you’re just taking care of him. Your #7 square is very cute and represents you perfectly. I can’t wait to see the whole thing finished, doing them one at a time like this is such a teaser!
Hugs,
Meri
poor Scout, I do hope she is healed soon! love all the embroidery!
Claudia,
Love the new square, you did a great job with your eyeglasses.
Poor poochy… how did you manage to keep the sock on him, my Sadie would have it off in minutes.
Blessings to you!
Gwen
Poor Scout! You take such good care of your pups.
I am LOVING your stitching project. It is so much fun to visit to see each day’s square. And it looks like you are enjoying it too. I knew what today’s square was going to be titled before I even read your text!
Enjoy the rest of this sunny weekend.
Claudia,
I feel for your poor puppy. Being in a funk is no fun at all. I’m glad he/she is on the mend and not feeling self-conscientious any longer. lol
xo Cathy
Poor Scout! Hugs to him. I just love the colors of the embroidery floss just as I do fat quarters of material. Even if I never sewed, I would enjoy the beauty of the threads and fabric! Have a wonderful day, Kerrie
I LOVE those glasses!!! So cute!! You clever girl!
Hugs,
Jill
Hi Claudia!
Scout is so sweet looking…hope the foot is better soon and her dignity returns.
I love the square…will have to try that, great idea!
Oh, poor Scout! Such a trial. But hopefully she will be on the mend soon.
Your new square is lovely, those are indeed gorgeous colors.
Aww! Poor Scout! Renoir had to have his foot bandaged once…and they told me to leave it on for a few days. He had it chewed off within a few hours…so I had to put a little bag over it when he went out…he was not happy either!
Hopefully spring will be fully here soon!
Your stitching and colors are so pretty!!!
Poor Scout! I hope she heals up quick!
Hi!
I’m doing Stitch-a-Long with you. I wanted to go through and visit everyone and leave a comment if I love what you’re doing…and I love what you’re doing!
Lisa
P.S. I love your turquoise glasses in your pic.
Poor Scout! Hope she’s better soon. And I love this square and those colors. Very pretty!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Your dogs are beautiful! I hope her foot bad is getting better. I have a little one with sensitive feet.. we have to put Vasalene on them every few days.
The rug she is standing on.. is beautiful!
what personalities our furry babies can have! I have a cat that is the same- she holds a grudge when I don’t do her bidding! I love the glasses- what a sweet idea!
I hope Scout’s paw is better soon! Good for you for taking good care of it even with the pouting! Love your floss and your square! It is really cute!!
Hugs, Lisa
