Dog of the Week

Ian is one of the three pups looking for a home and possibly comes across as his racing name would suggest "Shy Ian" - Ian has been described as being reserved with very good behaviour and would make a very dedicated pet once he had settled within his new home - he enjoys all the love and cuddles you can give him

Ian would need an owner that is prepared to give him the time to adjust to domestic life and to help him gain confidence - Ian has never raced he has only had schooling trails - he has not been tested with domestic dogs or cats but that does not mean that he does not have the chase instinct

How I spent my bank holiday...(picture heavy post)

It has taken a RIDICULOUSLY long time to do this... from pulling all the nails out, polyfilla, sanding, washing it all down and THREE...yes THREE coats of paint..but the store one was pretty watery and crap so the final coat is crown - it is a warmer soft lime than the original so I'm happy with that!

ok how it looked when we moved in.... well not straight away obviously...

and after we cleared everything out and played with polyfilla

 

In hindsight I should have put white down first but it's been so long since I decorated (we lived in rented for 4 yrs) that I didn't have my decorating head on!

new colour and new desk

woohoo peg board!!

The white note holder I bought myself - the other was a Christmas present from my sister so I could peg up any pieces of work that i was especially happy with/proud of

It's still not in order yet tho as I am waiting for the hooks etc to arrive for the pegboard so I will take another pic once it is done

Hope you have been doing something crafty !

Dog of the Week

This is Diamond!

Diamond is another one of our young pups like her brother Ian and sister Missy who is looking for a forever home - she enjoys her cuddles and has a very loving nature - would need someone who is prepared to work with her and help her adjust to domestic life and to give her confidence - Diamond has only had schooling trails and she was not interested

Diamond has not been tested with domestic dogs or cats - because Diamond has not raced that does not mean that she does not have a chase instinct she is a typical young pup

Moonshine - June Full Honey Moon

I used acrylic paint for this and used some of my metallic ones. Her hair is a mix of copper and bronze. She was painted on design paper - the original paper is her hair band. I went over the background with the gold paint but fairly watered down.

Hoping to get some more crafting down today - what have you got planned?

Dog of the Week

This gorgeous girl is Missy!

Missy is a very pretty girl who has never raced only been taken to a schooling track and she was not really interested - Missy like her brother Ian and sister Diamond are pups that need to build their confidence so they are looking for a new home with an owner that has the time to give to them and help them adjust to the domestic world - Missy just loves to be cuddled and has a very loving nature

Missy has not been tested with domestic dogs or cats - although Missy was not interested in chasing a wind sock it does not mean that she has no chase instinct!
