Meet our new foster dog, Zeus!
This past weekend we picked up our latest foster dog, Zeus. Zeus has been with our rescue since September, when he was relinquished by his former owner. He lived on a cattle ranch, but didn’t do well as a working dog. He was fostered by another volunteer since then and has now come to us. […]
A Gone With the Wind Christmas
Well, I am a huge Gone With the Wind fan and GWTW by Margaret Mitchell is my favorite book and the film version is number one with me as well. I am absolutely in love with the costumes. In fact, the antebellum period is one of my favorites in fashion. I have been collecting […]
My 1955 Emerald Green Christmas Dress
This year, I decided to make myself a special retro Christmas dress. I was inspired by this Barbie Collector vintage Barbie. I used Butterick 5556 to make this dress, altering the bodice to a v-neck and omitting the collar. My versiou is made of emerald green taffeta with a red net petticoat and red lace […]
Flicka has been adopted!
Our foster dog, Flicka, was adopted on Friday! She went to live in Davis with a wonderful family of four and is being spoiled. She was our ninth foster dog for the Border Collie Rescue of Northern California. 🙂
Meet our new foster dog, Flicka!
After our last foster dog for the Border Collie Rescue of Northern California, Cody, we took a little break from fostering as we have a kitten who needed to grow up a bit first. A couple of our foster dogs had a predator instinct, so we were wary of having a dog like that around […]
Silks and My Love for Mystery Fabric Bundles
I have a slight addiction to buying fabric and my favorite place to buy online is Fabric Mart. I just cannot miss the deals on exquisite fabrics that I get there and, lately, I’m addicted to buying the mystery fabric bundles….. This is the third time I’ve bought one. The first contained a bunch of […]
1940s Blue Cotton Dress
I am slacking from my original intent of this blog which was to show my sewing and DIY projects. I sew and DIY nearly every day, but fail to take the time to take photos and blog….. as I am a blog slacker, my goal is to now blog my projects and not to let […]

He was scheduled to be euthanized on 9/1/12, but due to the Labor Day holiday, fortunately he escaped death. We picked him up on Thursday and took him home and he spent two […]

Our Family Garden
Well, it has been a while since I posted anything about our garden. We have been very busy with it since we returned from our vacation to NY in June. Got a bit of a late start due to the fact that I had to wait for my dad to plow it…..but everything is up […]
Meet Bonny, our new foster dog!
The other day we rescued a beautiful girl we named Bonny from the animal shelter in Los Banos. She’s about three years old and is a black and white split-face rough coat Border Collie. She’s such a nice, sweet dog and it’s a shame that her former owners did not care enough to come looking […]
