Summer is here...

Well, with summer comes warmth, and the pets are clever enough to stay in the shade most of the time, and I try to do the same. Unfortunately, I have to walk Tara which means being out in the sun...and therefore I now have blisters on both underarms just by the elbows...I always get this when I am in the sun...NO FUN!

 I had to share some sunset pictures. Not necessarily in order, but still...and they are taken from our livingroom...it is lovely having such a view:)




 I found the netting I needed for my felting, so I had a bit of fun today:) Done two pieces...all I have to do now is embroider and possibly bead them and they are done...my first felt pictures...not bad:)






Check Pearl...How can she sleep folded up like that...I am always amazed at cats:)


 Cuddle time:)
 Tara exhausted after a walk in the sunshine...she cannot handle the sun very well at all...
 And I had to share some pictures of gorgeous Inverness...I am really happy here:)

    Thank you Shaunterria:) I am so happy that we have such an amazing view from our living room:) It is a bit distracting, but a joy to sit and look out:)

    Beautiful pics, Ylva. It looks like a lovely view out the front window. And Tara really looks whipped. My brother's dog, Vin is the same way. He doesn't handle the heat well at all. He lies in the shade and pants after he's been out for a few minutes. I take him out at night in the summer when I watch him cause it's cooler. He's a lovely dog though, like Tara. And grats on your first almost finish with the felt. Can't wait to see it all done!! Yes Dear sleeps like Pearl, all curled up in a ball. Amazing how limber their spines are!!!!

    Thanks Julie:) Yeah, Tara was whipped...at the moment we have grey skies so she is fine, but when the sun comes out she can't handle much. Pearl is not much for being out in the sun either...quite funny really...I have the door open so they can come and go as they please, but they both sleep next to me most of the time...if I change from one room to the next they follow...mummy's babies:) And I really wish I was a cat...:)

Refreshing my blog (long time coming)...

Hi, I haven't posted here for a very long time. Towards the end of the last period of blogging I completely lost track of my craftiness and there was just too much going on in life. Now I am finally feeling like myself again, I have started a web shop on Etsy and have started selling my jewellery from a shop in town. I have not yet been brave enough to do a craft fair, but I have my eyes on one in October and then it is a matter of doing some Christmas fairs to get my name out there. Below you can see some of the things I have made, and I will be posting my finished items whatever they may be both on Instagram, Facebook and here, planning on going a bit more in depth here for whoever wants to know more:) So, here we go:) This was a commission, made up of peacock colour freshwater cultured pearl nuggets and silver-plated copper stardust beads and findings. It consists of a ring, ear studs, bracelet and necklace. The lady who ordered it absolutely loves it:) Below are so...

New Year, New Home, New Outlook!

Ok, so I have been very bad with writing on my blog...I am slightly ashamed... I do however have a reason for it...This last year went pear shaped, and I lost myself a bit. Firstly in March, my husband failed his final exam for the first time, causing a lot of stress and worry. Secondly, we lost our gorgeous baby girl Tara, our almost 12 year old GSD...she was in too much pain in her back and back legs, she was dragging her back feet as she had no strength to lift them to walk properly on her pads. This caused her to wear down her claws so much that she was bleeding on one occasion. After this occasion we made sure to walk her only on the side of the road so she could drag her feet on grass instead of asphalt. At the end of April 2014, we sent her across the Rainbow Bridge, to join her friend Darwin whom we lost in December 2012. After this awful event, things were quite tough at home, and as if that was not enough, my husband still had to study and practice for his final exam. He ha...

Slimming World update!

I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!! I lost 6 1/2 pounds, which means I have reached my 1st stone milestone:) I am so surprised but happy...I have gained 1/2pound three weeks in a row because my period was 3weeks late. Now my period has come and gone, and it just shows how much my body is affected by the f***king period...  (and those stars are hiding REA and nothing else...lol) So, tonight it is Nando's dinner...chicken, coleslaw and ratatouille (or perhaps some lovely chips) to celebrate weightloss as well as payday...I do normally let myself enjoy a nice treat of some sorts after my weigh in...that way it is easier to stay on track the rest of the time...:) I am getting on with my Siamese cats, and am about halfway through with the white, and once that is done I am finished and can make them into a cushion cover:)
