New Baltimore Bliss Square

Well, I finally finished the April block for my Baltimore Bliss quilt. It was the most difficult one yet. Half way through it, I tore it all out and started over again with a little different method and now I'm really glad I did. It looks so much better. I started May's block last night and hope to complete it by this weekend. Then I'll be caught up until June 1. I still have a stack of UFO's (Unfinished Objects) to work on too.
I'm afraid I'm not getting in as much sewing time now with the new puppy to train. She's so cute I just have to play with her too. In a couple more weeks we can pick up the other puppy. Then I'm not sure if I'll get much sewing done at all for awhile. That's okay though; I want them well trained for the many long and happy years that we will have together. Dachshunds are such great little doggie friends. I know Ginger will like it too when she has another puppy to play with. Shasta doesn't like to play with her at all; I guess she's just getting too old (14 y/o now). Ginger has so much energy to burn, and you can be sure I can't keep up with her either. She does love to play fetch and that seems to be an easy way to exercise her in the house anyways. Outside she just chases Shasta all over the yard. It's so funny to see such a little thing chasing away the big dog. I'll try and get a photo of it and post it later on.
