Ms. Hillbilly Sits & Sews Hi, I’m Ms Hillbilly! 🪡🐶 My days are filled with pure joy: dog sitting and hand-crafted quilt design.

There’s nothing better than EPP while a sweet pup snoozes by my feet. Welcome to my corner where pet sitting and piecework flow together.

Every morning I try to walk a mile before I begin work at 6 am.
Winnie and Sadie were all for the morning workout!
We walked laps indoors and they followed me round and round the house getting their pre-dawn laps in.
Since I have to walk every hour for health reasons, these pretty girls will be getting their workouts this weekend.
I actually have to work all weekend but I can work right here with them beside me - taking time for treats and laps! It’s going to be a quiet weekend of just the three of us , work, walk, treat, repeat.

This weekend has been an absolute joy hanging out with these gentlemen. In the second photo Leo cheering me on as I walk laps around the house - I got my five miles in just in living room laps and it wore him out lol.

Meet Archie. He’s making sure I get lots of exercise this weekend; because according to him- fetch is life.

Don’t laugh! Our fur babies love these!

I just made gifts for all three of the fur babies in our family. - even though really they just look like a pile of old socks. They are- but they aren’t.

Being reactive to plastic, I have to wear special compression socks made of bamboo or alpaca.
Compression socks have to be replaced every six months - and at the price of $35 a pair I am only too happy that the babies get use out of them too.

The first compression sock dog toys I made a couple of years ago, I put crinkle and squeakers in each. But this time I just placed a bunch of knots and made the toys perfect for a game of toss.

I wanted to save these for Christmas but being the awesome dog momma / grandma ever I don’t think I’ll be able to hold them that long so Ember, Adi and Milo will each get a new toy this weekend. ( In other words a new shipment of socks arrived for me - don’t even ask how much 💰 😱)

And yes they will actually absolutely love them.
A hillbilly gift for sure - but why not? Better than throwing them away!

I love staying at this house for lots of reasons- one of which is I don’t need to go outside to be in nature. The doggy door is a win for bringing the great outdoors in!
Yesterday a 🐸 today a 🌳.

Art time with Ms Hillbilly didn’t go so well today.
The dogs were too gentle in their licking and the lick art did nothing.
So we got even more creative- crumpling it still in a ziplock and tossing it for them to fetch still counts as them being artistic right? I just had to have something ready to make them drop it immediately. Well to be honest Molly let little bro do all the art because she’s too mature for all that.
They still loved art class time! Well, ok one of them loved art time.
I’ll show the reveal on Monday after their family gets to see first.
We still have a bit left to do tomorrow after it dries. Maybe Miss Molly won’t be so shy with the final decorations.

Sorry for the blur - it was dark when I took the photo.
Someone ( 🐶) brought a friend inside. I sat down unknowingly beside it then saw something move.
He’s now back outside.
So glad it was a 🐸 and not a 🐍.
Early morning ( 5 am) fun!

Molly says little brothers are sooo annoying. Also I think she’s a daddy’s girl.
Here is another photo of little brother too because Molly is a bit camera shy.

Fergus takes the whole “ sit and sew” thing very seriously. ( He wanted to try it out).
He doesn’t hold still for photos yet because he’s a bundle of 5 month old joyous energy.
