Pink Presents and More Stars
December 26, 2012 by Teje
Hello my Dear Friends! I hope you have had wonderful Christmas! We had quiet and relaxing Christmas this year plus the best weather! Sunshine and warm, perfect to spend time outside! Presents have been opened and there was something special …
… painting of our sweet, little Foxy! My dear friend has painted this and it’s so precious to me! I was so surprised and touched when saw this! My artist friend lives in Finland but she met Foxy many times. I haven’t framed this painting yet, but I hope to get it done with frame like this …
Pink for a sweet girl! and more pink … I got the most soft and warm blouse in pink! and pink original Marshmallows!
I won’t take this furry blouse off before it’s warm spring! Today it was almost too warm outside and Nelli enjoyed there, too! She made me company when I took photos …
Cats have so funny way to keep all they feet gatherd together! This time of the year Nelli has so shiny and beautiful fur!
I have made more stars. I felt that this is a little boring project because those diamonds are big and also this is not so colourful as I usually make. But now when I started to make the y-seams, I’m happy that the pieces are big and there is not so much to sew. Lucky me I didn’t want to make this pattern in the beginning of my quilting career! It would have been very short career. Y -seams are not too difficult but you have to know how to do it and they need more time, concentration and patient.
I’m not totally sure yet if I should leave those orange/brown stars out or if I shall include them. I have to see when I can see all the stars layed together. Only problem is where to to do that? I wish so much that I could have a design wall!
Now it’s difficult to believe that some years ago Nelli was so affraid of Nero that she didn’t go anywhere near to him. She was always somewhere more up so that Nero couldn’t reach her. Now Nelli is all around and even in the same bed with Nero. She does her best to fit in the gang. She eats Nero’s dry food, she wants every morning piece of cheese like Hanna and Nero use to have. In the afternoon she eats the same food with the dogs, for example rice with some meat. She even wanted a Christmas coocie!
All our puppies has been really good and they got so much presents … some of them have been eaten already …
Thank you so much for all the wonderful presents, wishes and messages!!! I wish you Happy New Year but I hope to see you still this year! Nero just came to me and he wants company, hugging, massage and surely some goodies! I wish you wonderful and relaxing end of this year! I think I go to eat my marshmellows …

"I would love to read your thoughts! If you have a moment, please leave a message!"
What a precious painting of Foxie and such a lovely way to honor her. We had gentle rain for Christmas so now everything will be wonderfully green. Nellie looks very elegant and Santa Paws must have thought your fur kids were really good. Mine should have gotten coal in ther stockings, but I love them anyway.
Thank you so much! I’m so happy to have this unique painting – Foxy was such a special, little girl! Coal in the stockings, I hear that first time. We have some arguments with Nero and Hanna, too, but mostly they are very sweet and spoiled puppies! Happy New Year to you and your family! x Teje
That is such a lovely painting to treasure Teje
I love all of your stars. They will make a wonderful quilt. I haven’t tried Y seams before but I can imagine they are not easy! I like the way cats keep there paws all neat and tidy and then they wind there tail around to keep out the draughts 
We also had a quiet Christmas which was very relaxing. Happy New Year to you! Avis x
Thank you Avis! Y-seams are not so bad but I wouldn’t make a quilt where is lots of them. I use method where I turn the piece in the corner and it works well but needs care. After all the busy Christmases in the restaurant it was nice to relax at home. Happy New Year my friend! x Teje
Foxie is so pretty in that painting…I so love pink (hmmmm–marshmallows, yum!) Oh please, don’t remove the “orange-y” star. I think it add a “spark” that is going to be so lovely in the finish!!! Design wall are so nice. Am still trying to figure out a better way for mine (I really have not got wall space that’s flat!). Design “floors” and “beds” work quite well, too! Hehe! Hugs to you all in your warm sunny place from a very chilly (6F) snow covered S.E. Minnesota!
Thank you Doreen! Okey I’ll keep the orange star! I guess it’s neede to give some colour for all the other muddy tones. I was thinking to use the ‘design bed’. I don’t have any available wall. Hugs and Happy New Year! x Teje
Thank you, Dear and enjoy your beautiful sunny warmth!-D
Hello dear Teje,
And wonderful Boxing Day! That painting of Foxy is precious, the sweetest present ever!
I am so happy to see you all enjoying the Holidays in great weather… I wish I could visit you there as it’s -22C here… Very peaceful and quiet too!
Lovely Holidays to you all!
Yours,
Mia
Thank you Mia! I wish you could come or me to send you some warm! But It’s sure that we’ll get our raind and cold soon. Happy New Year dear friend! x Teje
Reblogged this on Nero's Post and Patch II.
I LOVE your stars! This quilt has been on my list also. I will look forward to seeing your progress.
Thank you LeeAnn! This quilt is quite quickly to make because the diamonds are big. Then the quilting is an other issue because I have to quilt by hand and I’m not sure how easy these fabrics are. x Teje
What a wonderful gift you have received. The painting of Foxy is beautiful; I can imagine how precious it is to you.
The stars you are making are beautiful. I love how well they match with each other.
Your story about Nelly makes me smile. Our cat has banned herself out of our living room ever since Fleur made her entrance, and she still doesn’t have enough courage to come nearer. So now I enjoy the dog during the day, and at night the cat is my friend!
Thank you Dorien! This is my favourite painting! Nelli is now ten years so it’s time for her to believe that Nero doesn’t hurt her! Hanna is more careful and doens’t feel comfortable when Nelli goes to her feet. Hugs to you, Fleur and your cat! x Teje
I am so envious of your weather! I love reading this blog and dreaming. I laughed about the y-seams. I have done them once and they are a bit intimidating at first.
I swear only cat people are impressed with the tidy way cats collect up all their feet. I knew exactly what you meant.
Beautiful Foxy memorial. I loved it.
Thank you so much Samantha! I enjoy your snowy winter photos but I prefer warmer weather. Happy New Year to you and your family! x Teje
What a wonderful present – the painting of little Foxy is beautiful! I’m sure you will treasure it always. I love watching your furry friend’s adventures. I wish you all the best for 2013 – lots of time to quilt, and only good health and happiness

Thank you so much Connie! All the best for the New Year! x Teje
How lovely that all the animals are friends. A beautiful painting – a lovely keepsake! Loveto all
Thank you Benta! I wish you and your family Happy New Year! x Teje
The stars are lovely, as is your garden. I think that the orange ones add some nice interest.
Thank you Leanne! Orange will be in! x Teje
Such a lovely picture of your Foxy, his spirit shines through it. We had quite a hot Christmas in Cape Town, swam in the morning and then again in late afternoon once lunch had settled. We have a new kitten found abandoned in our road and the old cat is slowly thawing towards the kitten; not friends yet but at least the angry hissing has stopped.
Thank you Gail! How nice you have new kitten! It’s fine to watch them and how they start get familiar with other pets! x Teje
Beautiful stars T! I love the brighter colours too! A design wall is very useful, I have a small one made from a large picture frame, and a large one made from polystyrene panels. They are so useful! Jxo
Thank you Judith! Your design wall and frame sounds perfect. I have to find a way to create something. x Teje
Such a beautiful painting of sweet Foxy, Teje! A real treasure. I love your new stars, it will be a gorgeous quilt. Your furry friends have a a whole lot of well deserved treats there!
Enjoy the rest of the holidays!

Thank you Helen! This will be nice and practical quilt. I like the pattern and the colours but I do miss my bright palette! Our pets have been spoiled with goodies these days as we, too! Happy New Year! x Teje
What a wonderful gift! Lovely post.
Thank you Amy! x Teje
I know the painting of Foxy is one of the most precious gifts you could receive. It’s absolutely beautiful, Teje. Your friend is very talented.
