Busy, Busy, Busy

Wow how busy I have been recently that combined with my MD playing up has not left me much time for blogging. Brandon had his first day at big school I was very brave and managed not to cry. Here are some pictures of him in his school uniform he looks so grown up.



 
 
The teddy bear you see in the picture is one that I made for him it was a prototype if you like as im hopeing to sell these in my etsy shop. Here is a better picture of it.

 
 
It was a friend of mines wedding anniversary so I made this card for her I was very pleased at how it turned out and her and her husband loved it. Its the first time I have used the foil embelishments but I think I will be using these a lot more in the future.

 
 
Ive also been busy making more knitted patches for my bed topper I am making, and some jewellery for the shop. (pictures to follow)
Baby has settled in with the family just beautifully she has such a lovely temprement and its so nice to have her sitting on or next to me when I am laid up with my MD. I had to share this picture of her fast asleep on her back with her paws in the air it really is very cute.

 
 
Here is a video of baby watching the washing machine something she loves to do again very cute.

 
 
When we got baby she was riddled with fleas and worms. The lady we got her from was not the most house proud of people and there was a huge amount of kittens, cats, and dogs all in the back garden. At the time baby was only 5 weeks old and really should not have been out. Im pleased to say she is now flea and worm free because of her age I had to have her treated by the vets but the price was very fair and totaled £10 for the 2 appointments and 2 treatments. Unfourtunately when the vet was giving her a routine health check he noticed she has a heart murmur which is going to make getting insurance for her at a reasonable rate a little tricky.

I am currently working on an upcycled bracelet that will be avaliable to buy in my etsy shop once finished. I bought a pair of shoes from a second hand market stall a few weeks ago for £2.50. They were a very nice pair of blue wedges with beading detail across the top. Unfourtunately the straps on the shoe ripped and the shoes were beyond repair. The plan is to remove all the beads and turn them into a bracelet. Here is a picture of the beaded straps.

 
 
 Finaly I found this picture on facebook and wanted to share it as it really does make you think about the little things we can do that make a big impact on the environment.

 
 
Much Love
