My childhood teddy - rather the worse for wear and much in need of a little restoration but still much loved and hugged.
A sweet doll I'm making from The Liberty Book. Her hair needs a little work!
New chair in my workroom! So comfy - love it!
The crocheted blanket slowly grows!
A sign I saw while out shopping this week - why are there soooo many single socks out there? Literally unbelievable..
A snuggly Saturday last week.
Archie in his new bed. He absolutely loves it! Monty has the same bed. Much snoozing has been happening here.
Photos from our trip to Normandy. Happy days.
Also this week I discovered Whole Foods Market. If you live in the US then you're probably very familiar with the chain but in the UK we only have a handful of stores. I went to the Cheltenham store while visiting our sons who live there. Oh my word - bliss.
I have also added this to my Christmas wish list
So it's a colouring book. It's full of Liberty designs. Obviously want.
I also watched The Dresser this week on BBC iPlayer starring Ian McKellen and Anthony Hopkins. Emily Watson, Sarah Lancashire and Edward Fox are utterly brilliant. Two hours of bliss. Watch it if you can. You won't be disappointed.
It's Archie's birthday tomorrow! He's such a gorgeous little thing and we love him to bits. He is such very good friends with our darling Monty who spends so much time playing now.
It's a little bittersweet as it's also the day we lost our beautiful Charlie Cat.
Here's a photo of Charlie on the right snuggled up with his brother Oscar. These gentle and loving boys were rescued from an 'establishment' that bred cats for experimentation. We got them when they were 2 years old and they had never been out of a cage. They discovered grass, birds, freedom, love and were an utter joy. They were great friends with Monty all snuggling up together. Oscar crept into Archie's basket the very day we got him at only 7 weeks. Charlie even appeared on Blue Peter! We lost Oscar earlier this year and our hearts still ache for them. Charlie lived to the age of seventeen and Oscar eighteen. We were so privileged to share their lives and we miss them every day.
When we picked Archie up as a puppy and were given all of his paperwork, we saw that he was born on the very day we lost our lovely Charlie.
So tomorrow will be a day of celebration - of Archie's birthday and Charlie's life.
Happy weekend wherever you are xx
