Update On Fern.

Welcome to my newest follower Kim R.
 Good news on the Fern front, the vet has decided the time has come to start reducing her steroids, although it could be months before she is off them completely. The bad news is her fur has been dropping out along her back and they thought it was a re-action to the steroids but because they are repressing her immune system she is open to infection and they now think she has picked up ring-worm! Even more tablets to take, I'm sure if I listened hard enough I could hear her rattle and she has to have a  bath every 2 days, she's never had a bath in her life!! Springers don't need bathing as they have an oil in their coat that sheds mud, you can always tell where they have been lying after a shoot by all the little dust piles on the floor.
See you later....

Update.

This is the window that is waiting for curtains, I hope it's not holding it's breath as when I'll get round to making them I don't know LOL


At the moment it is just attached to the wall with "Blue Tak"

 Also a piccie of the wedding favour buckets with ribbon attached, not strictly mini but either way, they are small. They're 2" tall.


Talking of the wedding, Emma is due to go to the Isle of Man tonight on her Hen weekend but due to adverse weather across the Irish Sea some ferry crossings have been cancelled EEEK! let's hope the weather calms down.
 See you later...

I've Lost My Mojo :-(

I have seriously fallen out with mini-ing, I can't seem to settle to anything at the moment. Today I had some free time and decided I would attach the chains to a Tiffany type lampshade I made for the Hallway Room-box but after half an hour of things going wrong I gave it up in disgust, it was a simple thing to do and would mean I only have a couple of things to make to finish it. I need a PC mouse (Fimo) and a mouse mat (half done!) and a window for the landing which, is again half finished :-(  it just needs the curtains which I usually enjoy making, but I really can't seem to get motivated. On a better note, after I  gave up with the lampshade, I finished the Wedding Favours Buckets I am making for the wedding BUT I still haven't started the Ascot ties, so much to do and so little time. If I get time I will post piccies of the buckets tomorrow as I know everyone likes eye candy (even if it's not mini)

BTW:- If anyone finds my Mojo please post it back asap as I feel weird without it!!

There's Snow On Them Thar Hills.

It has been a fantastic Autumn weekend up in The English Lakes although with the gales that battered the UK on Thursday much of the colour has gone but it did bring out the child in me as I can't resist kicking up the leaves. :-D  This morning in the distance towards the Langdales the snow had fallen on the mountains and it was a glorious sight, I don't care what anyone says but the English countryside, and Scottish for that matter, are the most beautiful in the world, hey we may not have the brilliant weather but we have some of natures fantastic eye candy! Bramble worked her little cotton socks off yesterday on the shoot and all the shooters commented on it, which gave me a warm fuzzy "glow" as I am the one who works with her during the week to come back to the whistle and obedience, and Fern is rallying to going on walks so life is sweet, pity tomorrow is Monday! but I can't have it all.
