We have a 'no dogs' policy in our Senior Citizen's Centre where I work, so he was unceremoniously dumped in the shopping trolley and sat there patiently until his owner had finished her coffee!<br />
<br />
<br />
This house seems to have been in a state of chaos for ages now. We have said goodbye to our lovely long-term German student, meeting her family and entertaining them with a proper English tea (cucumber sandwiches, scones and cream, the whole hog), at the same time as hosting the hairdresser doing Scary's and her friend's Prom hair!<br />
<br />
Said Prom went very well, thank goodness<br />
<br />
Then we had the packing for India, including the losing of the passport (which she had taken to the cinema to prove that she was 16 and forgotten about). At this moment Scary should be in Delhi facing an 18 hour bus journey! All with a back pack bigger than she is!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow Starfish goes to London for a few days and The Runner and I will be on our own for the first time in sixteen years! <br />
<br />

<br />
We have sunshine here today, for a change, but the forecasters are already full of doom and gloom about how cold it is going to get at the end of the week.<br />
<br />
So let's just pretend it really is Summer, shall we?<br />
<br />
Here are a few summery little things:<br />

It includes two cards:<br />

There are things in there that they haven't touched since they were learning to count (they are now fourteen and sixteen).<br />
<br />
So, boot sale, here we come. Well, I say 'we'. The Runner does all the selling here. I think I'll just bring the thermos and the sandwiches. I hate selling.<br />

I think they enjoyed their little cake fest.<br />
<br />
We also went to <a href="http://www.cadhay.org.uk/" target="_blank">Cadhay</a> Fair near Ottery St Mary. It was lovely and we had a gorgeous cream tea in a quintessential English garden.<br />
<br />
The weather just about held out, with a little drizzle as we were leaving. <br />

Still catching up with the things I have been making and not had time to show you.<br />
<br />
It was the out-laws wedding anniversary the other day (quite a special one), so we all decided to make them something, as it was impossible for any of us to get over there at the moment.<br />
<br />
As they are Irish, I ran with the Celtic theme and appliqued this Celtic cross:<br />

We started with a plain white bag (from a sandwich shop!) and a little bit of second-hand pink tissue paper which I couldn't bear to throw away.<br />
<br />
I remembered<a href="http://www2.fiskars.com/Activities/Crafting/Articles/Mothers-Day-Tea-Party" target="_blank"> this </a>inspiring post from a website called Fiskars and thought I'd have a go.<br />
<br />
It also meant I could have a little practice with my new Big Shot that I've had for ages now and haven't had time to use much.<br />
<br />
I suppose there must have been about ten layers of tissue paper that I cut, all at the same time, with a flower cutter. I stapled it in the middle and then fluffed up the paper and then glued it to the bag. I think perhaps I could have done with more layers on the biggest one, but ten seemed fine with the smaller ones. I cut a tag with double sided paper; see the other side -<br />

Hellooooo<br />
<br />
A lovely slobbery dog breath kiss to you all!<br />
<br />
This is how everyone is greeted at our house now! He doesn't bite, but will knock you over and lick you to death!<br />
<br />
Anyhow, just wanted to update you on what I have been knitting lately.<br />

Just one or two pairs of fingerless gloves. Some have been commandeered by daughters and some are winging their way over to Switzerland shortly. See the dog has to get in on the act! I think he just wants the cake actually.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, with that many teenagers in the house, the cake didn't last long!Ellouise88http://www.blogger.com/profile/06151872944239349429noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5665794295974648002.post-26262608071745267442012-05-20T23:37:00.000+01:002012-05-20T23:37:54.969+01:00Fish PieWhilst in my favourite coffee shop yesterday, the Runner commented on the quality of newspaper headlines nowadays:<div>

I have a Jubilee Tea to do in a couple of weeks and decided I have better have a bit of a practice. Unfortunately I couldn't find any dark blue tulip cake cases, only light blue ones; so the red, white and blue effect is not as good as I wanted.<br />

His favourite occupation at the moment seems to be following me about and banging into my legs when I stop! He is quite jumpy and excitable and loves carrots! At the moment, he is lying on his blanket on the couch with his head on The Runner's lap, sound asleep!<br />

I don't think life is ever going to be the same again!<br />

She is also my neighbour and the amount of times she has helped me out with emergencies, traumas, running out of ingredients and dealing with big hairy spiders, is innumerable!<br />

Yes, the icing is a little rustic but seeing as I only had 2 hours sleep last night, I don't think I was doing too bad!<br />
<br />
I don't know what it is that happens on Saturday nights but this is the second in the last two months that I have sat in A & E watching all the drunken louts swagger in! Children are such a worry, aren't they?<br />
<br />
Anyhow, back to The Knitting Queen. I also made her this brooch:<br />

I know, I know; please forgive my apathy. I hate January. Come to think of it I hate February as well, but at least there's a chance of chocolate and flowers around the middle somewhere!<br />
<br />
Just thought I would share an email, which I think has been around some time, but it made me smile this morning. I hope it does you too.<br />

and finishing a few projects from <i>ages</i> ago,<br />
<br />

and we had a little pretend layout in the kitchen (every other surface in the entire house was covered with detritus).<br />
<br />
Eventually we were ready.<br />
<br />

Everything was finished (well, apart from the Christmas stockings that I intended to make),<br />
<br />
