Done!

I finally overcame my dread of the sewing machine (where does that come from) and started putting together the stitcheries I had ready.

This is a wallhanging for my sister for Xmas. She loves blue by the way.
It was terribly difficult getting good pics today - tried both indoors and out. But the sun was out today (!) so the light was very bright.
The patterns are from Jenny's xmas packet. They are so cute and dainty. And just right for a sister named Joyce!
A bit wonky here and there (so don't look at that), but it's made with love! And I really enjoyed the stitching.

My darling golden boy (Filix the dog) was 5 years old yesterday. I gave him what I'd love for myself - a spa day! Manicure, pedicure, massage, fur care, paw and claw trim.... the works.

Not so sure he was as mad about it as me ... he seemed to think it was an ordinary bath day!

(Well he was right, wasn't he :) And Tiffi disappeared completely for a while.

He was a lot happier about the chewy shoe thingy and the roastbeef that went with his dinner. Tiffi came out again for that!
