Happy Halloween

The question that comes to mind is why??

Have a great night

Dogs

It is no secret I love dogs


Must we really???

With attitude like this what's not to love?
However it's not just the furry varitey I love, I am very attracted to Doxie's. I really love Badskirt's doxies available to buy here

So image my joy when I noticed a link on the Spoonflower website for How to make a Doxie Necklace I was intriged and followed the link to Etsy and found this fab little boy, with full making instructions.

I love him. I am going to make a list of projects to do when I'm off for Christnas and he's on it. Now this list may never be completed but I at least like the idea of snuggling up on a cold winter's day with a list of projects to play with.

let sleeping dogs lie

Sorry I have been a bit sporatic with the old posting, I have been.... well not doing much other than working, dog walking and sleeping. My mystery box still sits under the stairs waiting to be opened, which I plan to do today. More of that tomorrow as working is over for the summer.

The dog walking does usually happen but has been a bit more important lately. My beautiful dog, has been a little creaky lately.

He is very stiff and sore when he gets up, which is not good news for a 4 year old. I think we didn't want to admit something was wrong, but that all came to ahead, when he hurt himself getting into the car to go to the groomers and started limping. The groomer propmtly told us he couldn't clip the dog and sent him home. So we have started to do shorter walks 2 or 3 times a day. We have also put him on cod liver oil tablets, which has made a huge difference. Our little pup has got a new lease of life and seems much happier in general. The big up side for me is extra walking.

Softies

I have been doing alot of monitor shopping lately, just wandering around the Internet browsing. I think part of this has been because I am nearing of the end of my holidays. Well actually they ended last week :0)

I have been very attracted to softies lately but I do have a very weak spot for soft toys in general. I have purchased a few patterns to have a go with at some point in the future. I have been looking at fab softies made by some great crafters.

This little snail is made by cynicthelamb, there are some pretty little things on her website well worth taking a look at.

This lovely lady is made by Amy from badskirt. I love her hippos and her beautiful dogs.

These lovely Mini Dachshunds are by Alice Apple, based here in the UK. She works with very retro fabric and has been designing her own fabric that has a strong Scandinavian influences.

I will have to stop this self indulgent oogling at things. I have bags to make.

Etsy Finds - Dog Cards

I just love these fab little cards from Kangaroopals, and I think I shall have to make a little purchases in her shop.



I think these, by FireHydrantPress, are a great idea for dog owners because we often talk about "someone being someones owner", often because we forget to ask or just forget the human name but remember the dogs name.




I just love this fabric and had it on my favorites list for an age but never got round to buying it and then it was gone. I think Muddipuppy has made use of this fabric and it would make a lovely birthday card for a dog lover.
