Dyeing For Spring ...

Today is being spent dyeing some mohair ...

to get ready for some little Spring bears :))

Have a great week everyone :) xx

Ted

This handsome boy is sitting in my Etsy shop.

Ted was once the apple of someone's eye, being carried around everywhere (mostly by his left ear hence the few stitches to keep it together). He travelled by pocket, by satchel and his favourite by train. But Ted is now lonely and looking to be the apple of someones eye again. He is looking forward to travelling here, there and everywhere, but most of all he is hoping for to find a place in someones heart where he will stay forever.

And right now he is quite happy sitting in a box as he insists it is warm and dry and perfect for travelling in ;)

If you get the chance do pop over and say hello :)

Miss Ruby

Meet Ruby.

She loves banana and whipped cream sandwiches and listening to radio 4, but most of all she loves watching raindrops fall on the windowpane - which is handy as it is blustery and rainy here to say the least!

Miss Ruby is sitting in my Etsy shop, counting raindrops on the windowpane ;)

Do pop over and say hello if you get the chance :) xx

Coming Soon ...

Just adding the last few tweeks to Ruby, the dusky pink elephant ;)

She will be in in my Etsy shop very soon :)) xx

Little Easter Bunny ...

There is a little bunny in the shop, hoping for a new home for Easter ;)

If you get the chance, do pop over and say hello!

Old Grey

This handsome old chap is looking for a new home ..

He is currently sitting patiently in my little Etsy shop, quietly reading through some old books and trying desperately not to need his glasses ;)

If you get a chance, do pop over and say hello :)) xx

ADOPTED, thank you xx

Ruby

Meet Ruby.

Ruby is a two year old border collie.  We had the pleasure of taking her for a walk on Sunday down the country lanes.

Ruby was brought in as a stray.  How anyone could abandon her I do not know.

She is the most beautiful, gentle dog in the world.

We strolled past hopeful signs of Spring ..

Beautiful cottages ...

Horses ...

and other signs on the countryside.  

A beautiful walk, on a beautiful morning with a beautiful dog.

I just wish my heart didn't break everytime we have to take them back to wait for someone to adopt them.  If only I had the room this lady would be by my side.

Beautiful Ruby is currently awaiting a new home at Animals In Distress in Ipplepen, Devon.

Have a great week everyone xx

Sunshine..

Moments of sunshine here at the moment are few and far between.  Interspersed with rain, sleet and snow.

No one wants to go outside, including Maggie.

So our only option is to bring the sunshine inside, with these beautiful daffodils.  Their smiling heads are keeping me smiling, despite it being seriously cold outside!

Hope you are finding some sunshine this week ;)

Little Dotty

Little Dotty couldn't wait any longer ...

She is sitting in my Etsy shop, secretly holding her breath - waiting for a new loving home :)

Do pop over and say hello ;)

ADOPTED, thank you xx
