I really really love sitting down with Ellie-dog, her all curled up next to me being all cutesome and cosy. Sums up what autumn and winter is all about! Thankfully she has forgiven me once more for the evident torture that is me giving her coat a cut. She's like me you see, hates going to the hairdresser! Though one massive pile of fur later...
(two if you count all the fur that sticks to me!) she is looking like a young pup again. Not bad for a nine year old cocker spaniel!

Over the last couple of weeks I have been decidedly lazy. I'm not understating this or being dramatic. It has been full on lazy heaven. What with house renovations having been going on since July 1st - lazy time seemed allowable (that is what my guilty conscience is whispering insistently - I didn't like to argue with it). Whoever thought it would be possible to catch up on five years of Dr Who episodes in five weeks - but it is. Living proof of what laziness can achieve!
The house is looking exceptionally grand considering its upgrade from 'slightly studenty digs' as it was before. It has certainly put house moving on the back burner for now (though that was the reason for having the work done in the first place!).

While I haven't actually accomplished a great deal of sewing recently I have not been idle on the crafts front. Instead I have taken a liking to crochet. Crochet has even been my first thought when I wake in the morning. Strange as its usually something along the lines of "uuurgggh".  Finished this up last night and tested it this morning - works well, however I'd like to find a 'scrubbier' wool for more exfoliation!





Well, that's it for now - only meant to pop in and say I might be changing this blog for a website! Watch this space.
Ta-ra for the meantime, Kathy & Ellie-dog x
