just back from the park....threw the balls and one just had to land in the hedge, the Holly bit of it and its really thick, found a long stick and got it out, the dogs thought it a good game

so here are my Three Amigos..... .all love to be on the sofa or on the bed..my bed , not theirs. The new kong filling is keeping them occupied for 20 mins, cottage cheese,banana and peanut butter

home from work...guess what paid us a visit?

so we gave it some bread and it stayed for ages, it had better watch out for the cat, shes always coming in with mice, dont want her catching this

I have been making rag bags lately and although they are time consuming, they are fun to make. It took much longer to prepare the fabric than i thought, i took and hour and a half to tear and join the strips to make just one of the bags above....quite a time taken up before you can even begin to crochet, and it hard on the hands too, the fabric is stiff and hard to crochet...but the outcome is lovely....i have two for myself, here they are

I am also writing a facebook page around my dogs, they are so funny at times and having adopted the young Cassie, the older two have perked up a lot, heres the linky to the page
The Three Amigos

off to work now, i dont like getting up at 5am but the lighter mornings are coming and its not so bad then

got a laptop now so no sitting alone upstairs in the spare room....

these purple mitts arent in my Etsy shop yet, but the bracelet is available there, knitted another pair of mitts, love them too much to sell, theyre going to be mine...getting decidedly cold now, i fear Cassie is feeling the cold already so im doing her a cowl to wear when were out walking....more carrots and apples to chop up for the dogs, much better for them than dog treats

Further to having Penny on a diet, ive been adding carrots to their meals every night so tonight i tried something else...mashed neeps...or turnips to those  not of Scots ancestry....went down a treat, bowls licked shiny and clean, Penny may not look too much slimmer but she has more "go " about her ,so much so, she was on top of the sofa with Cassie looking out the window this morning when we got home from shopping
