Using up those Odd and Ends when crafting

We all have them, those little odds and ends we make then put too one side, as they didn't quite work in the project you'd originally made them for. Mine all live in a big Kilner Jar on my window sill, every day they sit there looking at me willing to be used.

 

This week I tipped out the jar and started sifting through the bits to see what cards I could come up with. I tasked myself not to make any NEW cards until I'd used as least some of these items up.

 

This Thank You card was a simple one, I'd made the sentiment a couple of weeks ago, but decided it was too large for the card it was intended for. The flowers were a something I was trying out I saw on Pinterest, where you colour the stamps with watercolour crayons then dampen with a water spray and stamp. I dismissed it as too scruffy so into the jar it went so I could use the other side of the card for something else. The sentiment and stamp landed side by side and looked great together, so I dug out some pretty backing paper and bakers twine the card was done

Something is Afoot!

Hello everypawdy, you may have been wondering where I've been.

 Well, I got sent away to stay with Blue the mad Labrador, whilst my people went on holiday without me!!!

Can you believe it **sobs uncontrollably** I love Blue, but to miss out on a trip in the House on Wheels is unacceptable. Apparently they needed a little break, so they could have lots of late mornings and long days out without having to worry about me all the time.

How rude is that, especially as the first thing they did when they picked me up was give me a bath, they said I was a bit pongy from rolling around in the woods with Blue.

A pup has to do what a pup has to do in the woods.

The best bit about a bath is getting dry afterwards, I just love rolling on my towel.

Since they got back, they've been acting most odd, lots of whispering and looking at pictures with loads of Oooing and Ahhing. I'm sure I've heard the word "Puppy" on more than one occasion, but can't be sure with my silly old deaf ears not working properly.

Not sure why they would be talking about a puppy though? Maybe I've misheard but they are being very secretive and strange, I'm positive something is afoot. I'll let you know when I sniff the bottom of it.

I've got a little bit of sad news, after much deliberation I've decided to stop hosting "Smile it's the Weekend" for a little while, a big thank you to everyone who has linked up in the past, I've met and made some pawtastic friends through our #WeekendSmile.
 I'll still keep writing my blog so don't panic, I'm not going anywhere. At the moment mummy is finding it hard to keep posting at a set time each week.

Hope you've all had a pawsome week and as soon as I know what my naughty people are up too, you'll be the next to know.

Intruder Alert #WeekendSmile [27]

 It's bad enough I'm tormented by Stalker Cat, now Mr Toad thinks he can come and go whenever the mood takes him.

When I growl at him to go away, he just sits there looking at me because he knows mummy will protect him.

Doesn't bother her that I'm scared of him.
Oh No!
 "He's good luck" she says, "He's allowed to stay"

It's not fair!
 I've always protected my garden from intruders, and suddenly I'm not allowed to chase this one off. I think I'll have ti start letting Stalker Cat back in, see how she like that when he starts digging up her flowers and poops.
**muffled giggles behind paws**

Hope you all have a pawsome weekend.

Nosey Nose Art #WeekendSmile {26}

This week mummy has been playing with her phone, as usual I'm her long suffering model, she's discovered some really cool apps and settings on it.

She particularly loves the Depth of Focas setting on her phone and keeps taking pictures of my nose **resigned sigh** 

I got so bored I went to sleep, but I really likes this picture she took, it's not too shabby for a mobile phone picture.

She also discovered the Pip Camera app that my buddy Miss Betsy was using over on facebook.
You can add all sorts of things to your pictures, I really love these two pictures.

Pup in a Bottle

I love Badger Boo

Who'd have thought you could do things like that, pawsome isn't it!

The other app she particularly enjoys playing with Portrait Sketch, of course I was the model yet again **sigh**

I don't mind really as it keeps her amused and makes her happy.

 Simple things for simple minds **muffled giggles behind paws** 

It's a lot of fun really, just don't tell her I told you so.

Hope you all have a pawtastic weekend.

Beautiful Sweet Peas

As I've mentioned before we're a little behind everyone else, even though we started really early this year, we had a massive slug problem due to the floods and wet start to this year. For the first time ever we've had to resort to using slug pellets, not ideal, but it's so disheartening to lovingly grow your seeds into strong seedlings, prepare the ground and then plant them out, then to arrive the next day and find everything had been eaten, week's of hard work amounting to nothing.

But as you can see from the pictures things are really coming along now.

These are my flower beds which are a first for us, but we wanted to attract Bee's, Butterflies and other insects, so far we've seen lots of Bee's and a few Butterflies, g0lad to be doing our bit to help the local wildlife.

Here's our Potatoes, Rhubarb and Cucumbers, we've had several harvests of Rhubarb already this year, the cucumbers have just started to flower even though they're still pretty tiny.

Next on our virtual tour are my Cherry Tomatoes, we have larger ones growing in the greenhouse, more Sweet Peas, Sweeetcorn and  behind that is my Red Onions, one or two of them are huge already.

Himself had just been round with the lawn mower,  the grass was pretty long because of not being able to get there since my knee operation for a couple of weeks, but it's all nice and tidy again now, just the way I like it.

I'm linking this post to Badger Boo's Smile it's the Weekend, Welcome to the Weekend Blog Hop, and How Does Your Garden Grow.

Smile it's Friday

Poor daddy had a few complications with his operation hence my missing post last week, "She Who Must be Obeyed" forgot to do it! 

Normally I'd give her a good telling off for such a grave error, but I'll let it slide this one time as she has been a bit stressed out.

I've been keeping Daddy amused and giving him lots of cuddles as he's been in a lot of pain since he got home. Them Hooman Vets are as mean as The Nasty Vet lady as far as I can make out. 

I wonder if the same things happen to Hoomans as happens to us pups **flashback starts** ?

**shakes head to remove the memory**

I love to help getting the pill boxes ready for recycling, as they can't go in the bin whole.

It really is the most pawsome fun :o)

But then a certain someone always has to come along and have a moan about the mess, bet you can guess who I mean? 

Things are slowly returning to normal here at "Boo Boo Towers" for the time being. 

Although Daddy has to go back to hospital soon for another operation which is pawsitively annoying.

Me and Daddy would like to say a massive Thank You for all your lovely messages of support.

 The pain he's in is very draining, but you keep us all strong.

If you've seen something thats made you smile just add your link below and lets get everypawdy smiling.

It's Friday which means its the start of the weekend. 

WHOOP WHOOP
