Kipper The Dog Visits Y Acres Studio

 Colton let me know that his beloved Kipper the Dog really needed a blanket. He asked if he could come over to the studio and make a quilt.

Grandma - let's make a quilt like this okay?

We pulled many many many fabrics so he could choose his favorites

The glow in the dark magic forest could not be beat!

Time to pin and make our quilting plan

Colton opted for straight line quilting for all the trees in the forest

Nice quilting Colton!!!!!

The starry red binding was his choice for his quilt.

Kipper liked it the best!!!

Binding clips make great sharks in case you were wondering

Checking the final fit

It's perfect Grandma

Kipper says he loves it

Happy Y Acres Studio Sunday from Kipper and Colton!

Happy Spooky Caturday

Rainy Day Giggles

 Muddy rainy fall? What's new besides the (thankfully) lower temperatures!? Just layer on more clothes under the rain gear and keep chugging along!

And with that I mean put on toddler rain suits and look for treasures 

Giggle run ALL the way down the hill 

For some much needed monkey rainy day recess!

I know this looks like a real 'the hills are alive' Maria moment, but picture more of a screaming laughing monster dinosaur vibe and THEN you can accurately mentally place yourself here. 

Coupled with "MAMAAAA IT'S RAINING AND IT IS FALL! 

I AM NOT SWEATY!"

I can't blame her, Summer was brutal on us all this year!

My nordic babies thrive in the chillier months!

Plus with the seasonal change, we have even more treasures to find and collect!

Like tickle leaves!

We've got fall things to do and see!

Look out world, here we come!

Three cheers for rainy day giggles and fall weather!

Always,

Amelia 

When in Doubt, Fetch it Couch!

 When you are a cute little doggie and you NEVER know what the weather is going to bring... The best thing you can do is come up with your own motto and stick to it. 

This is 10000000% Lulu's

When in Doubt

To get your sillies out

Always

Play

Fetch it couch!!

First give your best "Will you play with me face"

REALLY sell it

Then do a really big Havanese POUNCE

Bonus points for throwing it yourself down the couch to have to fetch it again

I know... It's truly amazing

Keep giving cute faces to repeat fetch it couch until you are ready for your nap.

The PAWfect motto to live by <3

Always,

Amelia
