a confession, an obsession and an introduction...

I have a confession to make; I have been spending far too much time looking at other peoples wonderful blogs to keep mine up to date. For this I am truly sorry. Here are some of those wonderful blogs…Dottie Angel , The Royal Sisters , Attic24 and About Mo and Me.

I have also been immersing myself in crochet. I am loving it. I love the colours, the textures and the many, many things that can be made. The problem is that I start making something then get distracted and move on to something else. At the moment I am making a granny square cushion cover, a scarf and a pair of mary jane slippers.

Aside from my developing obsession with Crochet, I have been very busy with markets and sewing. My trusty sewing machine is permanently on the dining room table surrounded by beautiful vintage fabric, doilies, vintage buttons and denim. A truly inspiring combination. Many bags, purses and brooches have been made and are now being enjoyed by other people.

Well, with all of that out of the system, I thought I might introduce you to some of the little souls that share my abode.

This is Venus. He has been with me since I was in high school. He came to me as a tiny little ball of fur with bright blue eyes. Many mornings I woke up to find he had crawled under the covers of my bed and was stretched out along my side. Very endearing when you are a teenager. I'm not so sure I would like it now.

This is Prince also known as the Little Angel. He is the perfect one. Always wanting to please and wouldn't dream of doing anything naughty. He is a purebred Tri-colour Border Collie. Apparently these tri-colours are not that common so I get questioned about his parentage quite often.

The youngest of the trio is India aka The Naughty One. She is a doberman with a kennel name as long as your arm and german bloodlines that are apparently quite sort after. If there is any sort of mischief to be done, she is the one to do it. She quite often leads The Angel astray and pesters Venus.

I also have a husband but I don't think he would appreciate having his photo here for all the world to see.

Well I must be off to work on some of my unfinished crochet.
