I must apologise for not participating in all the blog awards and tagging on my blog but I received far too many requests all in one go including some by e mail so thought it fair that I would not participate in any so not to upset anyone.I have just been too busy lately.There is an endless round of doctors and dentists appointments ,helping at playschools etc and just not enough hours in the day.I usually make my bears in the afternoons and evenings and have been really slack this past week.First the washing machine broke last week so it had to be replaced and then we had a phonecall to say our new settees were ready to be collected-not too good timing moneywise.Then to top it all off my cooker blew up this week and we had to spend £400 on a new one.I hope nothing else happens as I want to go to hugglets in a few weeks and
will want some money to spend on materials.
I have posted a photo of 2 of my cats.The left one is a balinese and the right one is a siamese.The siamese is 1.5 years old but if you want a nice quiet cat don't have one of these.He is a super little cat but has he got energy.He tears around the house including racing down the stairs and whizzing across the living room at great speed and then takes a flying leap out of the living room window where he can safely go outside in an enclosed area.He is such a fun cat and loves to play although all the other cats find him a bit too lively.You know when he is hungry because he starts to chew on any plastic he can find so its like having young children about where you have to keep things out of his way.
Well it is time for me to go as it is nearly 1am.Trouble is the later I go to bed the harder I find it to go to sleep.
fair called hugglets on Sunday and I went into the show for 3 hours whilst hubby wandered around London for most of the time taking photos.There were some gorgeous bears at the show but I went for supplies and just had to make do with window shopping.It is so easy to feel overwhelmed by the choice of bears and even 3 hours to wander around the show isn't enough but we had to catch the coach by 3 0'clock so I had no choice but to leave early.London has plenty of lovely sights to see but you need much more than a day to take it all in.The first and last photo is of Kensington Palace and gardens where Princess Diana lived and the second photo is of the Royal Albert Hall and the fourth is inside the hugglets bear fair.I have added another post for you to see more photos of the Kensington Palace gardens.
I thought that I would show you some photos of my horses.The one with me is a highland and the little black and white one is a shetland.I have had them both since they were a year old which is quite a few years now.The highlands mum came from a wild herd in the outer hebrides and when the owner went up the field they found a foal that they didn't even realise the mare was carrying.It can be quite hard work looking after horses and they have to be mucked out every day.The shetland is stabled all the time as she suffers from laminitis which is a condition that can be caused by different things although the main culprit is not being able to tolerate too much grass.They end up with very painful feet because of it.She goes out for a little while with a muzzle on so she can't get to the grass but she is very crafty and will rub against the wheelbarrow and try to rub it off so whilst you think she is wandering around the paddock you then realise her muzzle is laying on the floor and she is helping herself to the grass that she is not supposed to have.When she was allowed out in the field she always thought the grass was greener on the other side of the fence and would try to get out.She has been caught pulling the clips out of the fence (that hold the wire onto the posts ) then once she has done that she then lifts up the wire and goes underneath the fence.She also used to pull up the plastic electric fencing posts with her teeth.I would often go to get her in from the field and she was in the wrong one.
I am trying my hardest to keep my blog more up to date but it seems the longer I have been making bears the more sites I sign up to and I just forget how many different things I have on the go including my blog.There are passwords for this and passwords for that and I am sure I wrote them all down somewhere but I have this bad habit of putting important things away in a safe place so that they don't get lost or to stop the children finding and moving them but when it comes to finding them I can't remember where my safe hiding place was!!!
