Mothers' Day

Bunches of daffodils, lunching out, chocolates? No, the best pressie is tickets to Crufts best in show day. So daughter and I set off for Birmingham NEC for a day with hundreds of dogs. They come in all sizes and colours. One reminded me so much of our previous spaniel...we spent a long time chatting to her...




Business opportunities sprang to mind. Should I make quilted coats for chilly terriers or stylish bibs for munching St Bernards? There were crystal studded collars and tartan leads, beds which looked so comfy...after a long day being on best behaviour some people got so tired they went to sleep...



We had such a lovely day and everyone seemed so happy. Even the dogs who didn't win. So if you have a St Bernard who would like a bib, just let me know!

Stripes

During the cold weather we all need woolly jumpers. These come in lots of colours and patterns. Some of us are tall and slim, but those of us who are  smaller and curvy know that horizontal stripes may be not such a good choice. But when the stripes are in lovely pinks and the jumper is a perfect fit, then we should just enjoy being cheerful and warm.... at the Unravelled Knitting Day, Farnham Maltings.....
