Archie has a new bed, made from.....an old boucle cardi that my daughter gave me but it was too big and not my style. It certainly fits Archie's style tho he thinks it very cosy!<br />

I do have fun making these little girlies and they all come out differently with their own personalities.<br />
<br />
The first one is Molly who is walking her rescue greyhound Greg. As the weather is turning colder Greg has a super posh coat on to keep him warm. Molly is carrying a big bag of bones in her fancy bag.<br />

Janet is wearing a bonkers hat which she made for herself with a matching scarf. I wouldn't mind a set like that as well! None of the girls go out without their red nail polish on. Doris has a nice red collar.<br />

Bright and sunny dress and orange hat, her bag is full of scarves and her boots are so funky that I'd like a pair just like them! She is carrying an umbrella as you can never be sure of the weather here in Britain!<br />

Need to do a count up of scarfs and hats and make sure the gloves are still in pairs.<br />
<br />
In the meantime Alf popped on his own hand knitted gear as he heard the wind howling around outside/ He certainly looks nice and cosy.<br />

Now, who doesn't love an owl.....or three! They are super cute and look so nice fastened on a coat, scarf, or when winter comes (and it will!) on a hat. After painting they were varnished to give a gloss finish and to protect them.<br />
I've done a couple of more projects but will leave them for another day.<br />

Even a little shoe brush didn't escape my attention and had a little house popped on top.<br />

I havn't done too much on the knitting front at all. This used to be my all time love (along with embroidery) now it gets picked up very rarely. Oh well, what is a girl to do with so many other crafty things to try out. Here is a little knitted cockatiel that I made and he is happily swinging on his branch, cheeping to himself.<br />

Swiss roll mixture on the inside. We don't drink coke ourselves so had to wait until a visitor turned up with a bottle! Apparently you can also make them with milk bottles....any plastic bottles I guess. Daughter said it was a bit of a faff making it but it tasted good and went down well at the party. Recipes can be found on Pinterest/google if you want a go yourselves.</div>

<br />
This was a simple project to do, blocks of wood were saved from the wood pile, sawn to size and then painted and a little house popped on top with some jolly bunting attached to the 'chimneys' Wouldn't it be nice to live in a house that has a heart over the door! It now sits on our mantlepiece.<br />

I used to have a dog on wheels, many moons ago. Which I loved so much it was soon threadbare! I have wanted to try and create a similar one with a vintage look. So here it is, made from a cushion cover and then set on a platform with wooden wheels. He has the vintage feel I was after, so really pleased with that effort.</div>

Little Mr Foxy doesn't want to be left out and he has a set of wheels as well. This one was made from cotton fabric and then hand painted. Cute eh!<br />
<br />
At our Home Sweet Home the flowers have taken a bit longer to bloom due to the unseasonable cold weather up here in Scotland.....even for our part of the world it is a tad chilly for June. The polytunnel strawberries took a nose dive and all that survived were some new plants that we bought...so far about 3 strawberries have been eaten, this doesn't compare favourably to last years bumper crop. Last year the raspberries were overflowing, not this year tho, rhubarb we do have plenty of really need to think of some recipes other than crumbles.<br />
<br />
The one thing I was pleased about was bottling our bumper apple crop late last year and what a success. I used kilner jars and making sure the fruit was hot (with added sugar) the apple was ladled into the hot jars and sealed and then put into simmering hot water for 20 mins I think. As it was a bit of an experiment we were pleasantly suprised at how well it had kept (in a dark cupboard) and was delicious in a pie. That is 6 months from preserved to eating and kept the freezer freed up for other things. So that is one experiment that will be worth repeating come apple picking time.<br />
<br />
Gosh that was a long post, lots more to catch up on so see you soon I hope xx<br />

To remedy that, on my todo list was a 'fake' one. My daughter beat me to it and made me a super duper bat of my own! Here she is hanging onto the curtain pole while eyeing up everyone.<br />

Now, doesn't that look real! This gorgeous bat has leather ears, wire and material wings so they can be closed or opened and the body has been needle felted.<br />

The dogs were rather scared of her at first but as she is very friendly they overcome their initial fears and had a good sniff, sensing no danger they were pleased to welcome Gertrude into the family!<br />

The fireplace was next...in the end she decided on settling on the bookshelf and that is where she waits for unsuspecting visitors and makes them jump....not because she says booo but they think we have a real bat in the house!!<br />
(My daughter does make them similar to order)<br />

At last Flo has been lifted off the shelf (after being there for a couple of years) and joined by a friend...you never know they might get finished some time soon! I just get sidetracked by other crafty bits and bobs.<br />

We were very lucky to have about 3 days of continual sunshine (yes, we were amazed as well!) and although cold, it was a good opportunity to go out and about and breath in some fresh air. This is going to be the dogs best walk in the summer as they will have their own swimming pool!<br />
<br />
See you again soon.<br />
Party at;-<br />

Not the best of photos unfortunately cos of the light being pretty dismal at this time of year.<br />
I've added a little inspirational quote which reads; Put on your crown, take a deep breath, and step outside. Today is a New day. (not by anybody famous, just little ole me!)<br />
I've put applique flowers with lace middles cascading down the side and added some more applique flowers to the perch and then embroidered the middles. If you notice the last one hanging down is a heart.<br />
Few more bits of antique lace added and there you have it....a budgie with a crown! What more could you want in your life!!<br />
<br />
Here is Bobby with another coat for chilly days. Made once again from my old raincoat and the backing is cut from a some old pyjamas, recyling at its best lol.<br />

We can now be assured that our little hamlet is safe and secure in the knowledge that Bobby has passed his exams to be a K9 and he takes his duties very seriously barking at anything that moves from his (and Archies) table perch in the porchway. We can now all sleep soundly!! haha<br />
