Getting ready for a new pup

Thursday, 20 November 2014

In 5 days we'll be bringing a new member of the family home with us. I'm so excited I could burst!

We've been wanting a dog for what seems like forever, so when my parent's dog Boo had a date with a very handsome chap called Bow a few months ago, we knew that one of the Boo/Bow babies would be ours.

They're such cuties... it was hard to choose but we've made our selection!

We've been collecting all the bits and bobs we need for our little pal, including a hot water bottle to keep him snug over Winter. He's also going to be the hippest pup in town wearing his polkadot bandana which was a present from some friends. The crate is set up in place too... and as it's by the kitchen door, we needed a draught excluder. I'd searched around a few shops but they really weren't very attractive so I made one tonight. I bought a load of wadding from the fabric shop in town for about £3 and used some left over fabric from the wedding bunting. So easy to make and looks great in the kitchen... We just need to train little one to not chew it to shreds!

All we need now is for him to get here!

I'll introduce him to the world of blogging next week once he's settled in... but for now, here we are 3 weeks ago.

I'm totally smitten.

Since the last photo I have been hit by full on cold, cough, sore throat and general winter bug rubbish...so the past few days have been spent on the sofa drinking tea, lemsip, watching documentaries on 4OD and catching up on all my favourite blogs.

Hope you're all ready for Christmas? I'm almost there, still a couple of bits to get but I'm not stressing... This time next week I'll be up in Leicestershire with Harry and my family and I can't blimmin' wait.

Places and Spaces

Sunday, 7 October 2012

The past month has been a busy one. An eclectic mix of a trip to Foxton Locks, 3 weddings, a drive around the New Forest, Date night in Portsmouth, a charity raffle and a visit from my parents and their gorgeous little pooch Boo.

The next few weeks will be spent making things for upcoming craft fairs and getting involved with the Southsea Sisters independent women's group. Exciting things are a comin'!

What have you got to look forward to over the next few weeks?

Good Excuse

Monday, 9 July 2012

I've been absent from this little old blog for a few weeks but I have a good excuse or 3, I promise.

First off was a little trip to London for a dear friend's Birthday. Lots of dancing and some sore feet & heads the next day...

The following weekend, Harry and I drove up to see my family and the gorgeous puppy Boo. There was also a trip to a lovely Vintage fair and a good old fashioned Barndance. Yeehaaahhhh.

So in-between the weekends away and work, I was crafting away on bits and pieces for the Love Southsea show. Myself, Julia and Heather had our own stall yesterday and it was great fun...

Aside from the odd downpour and wet feet all day, we met some great people and sold lots of our items!

I was really pleased at how the day went and we've now signed up for another show in 2 weeks time. You can find out more here We're all looking forward to it... If you're in the Portsmouth & Southsea area then come down to Castle field in Southsea on Saturday 21st July and say hello!

Have you been to any good craft fairs or shows recently? x
