Room full of dog duvets

whew...what a night, hardly got any sleep with Cassie crying off and on, kept getting up to pop her out in case she needed to wee, but she just blundered into stuff wearing that huge buster collar, finally gave up trying to sleep and came downstairs at 5....ended up me and Penny on the sofa ant the other two on duvets, my living room now has 3 doggie duvets on the floor and another in the kitchen...ive to keep Cassie quiet and not jumping up for 10 whole days !!! Really ? how is that ever going to happen?? I have a plan, she is either going to be watched by me or hubby, if neither of us can watch her, then collar on and into the kitchen and the door firmly shut.On a lighter note, the garden is looking so much brighter and bigger since we cut down our trees, a lot of work but it was worth it and will mean less work in the future..knitting a shocking pink tea cosy today, have to decide what accents to put on it...if i can stay awake that is

Got a request for a mug cosy with an owl, hunted through a heap of papers and found a pattern for a felt owl, the body was brown but ive gone for light blue, stuffed him lightly so he doesnt look flat, now he looked plump, hope he will be flying to a new roost soon




As you can see ive been very very busy with my new range of Dog Cowls, these are just a few, more in my shop....and since its turning cooler, these are great for an early morning especially if your dog has a thin coat. these are in my Etsy Shop or on my Facebook page .
I also made a lovely dog coat for Sylvie shown here
These are made to order and i can usually get any colour  to suit your needs...prices will vary , you can order  via my Etsy Shop

 Paper beads, and more paper beads
 Paper bead ear-rings....all mine
The only bad bit about making these beads is the glue on my fingers..every bead means gummy fingers, then washing fingers followed by gummy fingers....experimenting with thicker paper and more strips held together, burnt the first lot of big beads in the too hot oven, they went a lovely sepia colour, sadly no good to use, they are now sitting looking not very pretty in a little clay  bowl

Wonder where i've been ??  Ive been making these wallhangings...plus...lots of little Jute baskets

These are very cute, had to keep one for myself and it was hard to pick one, below is my choice
Also, discovered extreme knitting
 Lovely big cushion was my second go at this
 My Hubby toiled away making these
 My first attempt was this bag, its made from strips of blanket weight fabric and very hard to knit with
These are my needles that Hubby made me from dowling we got at B&Q
