If you really do it right breeding now could but some serious financial hurt on you. All the genetic testing, DNA, microchips and vet bills the list goes on there. Then with a heavily coated breed like the cocker you really have to have an expert groomer and handler to keep them in a "show coat".
So...working full time to spend thousands a month on showing/breeding or work part time and have time to quilt and spend with family without a grooming brush and clipper in my hand...no contest!

I MIGHT finish one today! Neighbour's lap quilt, just needs binding. I meant to do it yesterday but started quilting the cushion tops I made for our bed instead (first time I used wool batting and it's LOVELY!!!)
I think I'm putting off finishing my neighbour's quilt because I'm afraid to give it to her. What if she hates it? She's the type who'll say so. She's a lovely lady BUT a straight talking country woman. Help, I'se scared! Pathetic, right?!

You know her best, is it her colour tastes?

Blue, I've been ogling her linen on the clothes line for a while and I think it's her taste! :D
I haven't been past the kitchen in her house (that's very French BTW!) but typical th French country 'look' is earthy colours and florals so I've gone for browns and creamy yellow with some burgundy floral prints. I don't really like it myself, but I hope she does. :?

oh, and Skeat's right about how to give your neighbor, your gift. My, but you are such a giving person! I don't think you sleep, lol. Sounds great to me. She may be a straight shooter, but probably not that rude,...and if she is...after you tell us the end of the story, we'll come on over, and straighten her out...we'll think of something that doesn't come back on you, lol!
Lots of stories been written about hard nosed ppl that were melted by kindness. Maybe she's been alone too long, or secretly insecure and has a hard shell on outside. We'll be with you in spirit when you go over there. hugs, C
