vintage crocheted blankets make me happy!

I found these crocheted blankets in the Church Hospice shop, so beautiful and they feel as though they have been lovingly made with a lot of care

this red and pink one is smaller and is my favourite, and of course Beany has to get in on the picture!

Beany is so sweet & is only 26 cm tall and follows me every where although he is definitely getting ready for the barbers.

homage to Beany

My little dog Beany, a black toy poodle, is such a sweetheart, his Mum, Molly is also very sweet but she is my husband's dog really, Molly decided that herself. I think it is because they both hate the rain. Beany is mine and is always near me, my little helper.

37 days to go............

37 days, really, is that all?
seems much less when I think of my scary 'to do' list!
today's first job will be working from my gingham source, I think I will 'create' a fabric out of three others ready for printing onto.

My business report is shaping up nicely thanks to the lovely people at the Beetroot Tree, thanks again peeps

and from my life other than degree work, my assistant ~ Elvis Beany urgently requires a haircut.....maybe he won't mind to much if I just give him pigtails instead......I think he's looking worried
