As many of you know, I lost my beloved Lady in 2011, just before I left for France. It was hard to say goodbye to her. We had been together as best friends for nearly 16 years. When I returned, the months that followed were full of more changes: A move from Seattle back to Pie Cottage, a new and unexpected relationship begun with great hopes only to crash and burn…”tears and fears“…you know how it goes.

…today I just made my travel plans to go to Chicago, meet her and bring her home to Pie Cottage!

Hi Susan- I cut them out with little cookie cutters and then appliqué them on with a bit of water on the backside. Easy!
She looks like a wonderful friend-to-be! Congrats!
She is beautiful, can’t wait till I can meet her.
