He can Run...

 For those who are interested in the Life and Loves of me n my dog...
He can run!
Despite his very short legs - he is keen. He ran 3 miles today.
 I didn't want to push him too hard ya know, but i think, with training, he could do a few runs with me.
Not the big runs though...
He still hasn't been off the lead but we are getting used to our life.
He's so much fun!
 He does keep putting his nose into my laces though, whilst i'm trying to get my Runners on.
Do you think he wants a pair? (or two?)
 He is also a keen gardener - hurrah!
Not too much digging up of existing plants, thus far (fingers crossed)
But he enjoyed our late night Potting Session....
 Bringing the Tomatos on - i'm potting up a but late on these but i hope to get the fruit for longer and later. We'll see how it goes.
There is a *bit* of an unspoken competition going on between PaFish, BroFish, SisFish and myself, on the tomato front. I did mine from seed and i *think* they bought plants. So i am a bit behind anyway.
Besides, i have a secret weapon.... SmallFish has the greenest of fingers!
 The Rosemary was potted as opposed to 'bedded' as it can get so wild and woody in a plot.
I may transplant it, when i get my bedding sorted.
I have a herb bed planned but i bet it won't see 2011....
 The Rocket and lettuces have gone straight into the outdoor tray without any Greenhouse time.
I have high hopes that they will sprout now the weather seems continually warmer.
If in abundance, i shall be swapping some of this for BroFish's Peas or a cauliflower.
 Elderflower Cordial = done
 Elderflower and Pear Cordial = needing to be done
Bring on the Brambles! I have feeling they too will be Early this year.
Come on Boy, get yourself a drink.
That won't be your last ever 5k mate!

Lazy Friendships...

PinPuff by kirstyfish
PinPuff, a photo by kirstyfish on Flickr.

I declare, i would love it if all my bestest friends had Blogs, that they updated daily (let them off a day here and there).
I'm so fascinated by what my friends do all day, what they think about, what they get passionate about (especially Crafting, Sewing, Running, Yoga....)
It would be a sort of 'Lazy Friendship' perhaps, but i yearn to see their world in photos....

Me n' Him...

 That's me.
New Dress :)  Loving the mass of cotton and crazy TieDye.
Feeling Over Tired but sort of serene.
 Crazy hair - 3 months since it was last cut.
*must take better care of Oneself*
 ...and that's Him.
(he is sat at my feet as i type)
 Who'dve thunk it - me living with another Boy!
I had said "Never Again" (to another Boy, not a dog)
 Welcome Scottie!
(We didn't name him, The Dog's Trust did.
It seemed cruel to change it, even if it is a naff name for a Scottie Dog)
There he is, hiding in his 'Safe Place' because little dogs need a refuge.
Much like their Grown Up owners...
We all need a little Snuggle Space now and then.

Look who's come to live at my house!

Meet the newest member of our household. AAaaawwwww, he is my Baby Boy. Re-homed from the Dogs Trust in Kenilworth, so it's a case of us 'all' getting to know each other a bit.
I'll keep you posted...

Shop Updates... stick n sew x

 A set of *new* Linen and Cotton Patchworked PinPuffs.
My exclusive and very fantastic design in which you can have your PinPuff hanging on your sewing machine at easy reach, or on your Sewing Tote Bag (remove pins first if you going out)
 These are super pretty with pink, moss and blue colours.
A strip of vintage look lace.
Mix of Linen and Cotton and..... a lovely blue Matroyshka.
 http://www.paperfish.etsy.com/ is full and fit to burst with new Button Brooches. So much fun, easy to wear and any generation likes these - i know, coz i sold many of them last year on my Craty Stall to Young and Older alike.
 I am just getting around to posting Party Packs of Button Brooches onto the LovePaperFish shop and also a new range of Hanging PinPuffs.
I have sooo much to do - and i have been very tired this week.
 More Linen & Stitch Brooches available, again in the Etsy shop.
 And i shall be working the Weekend, at my trusty Brother, whipping up a new set.
 And don't miss tomorrows / weekend BLOG BULLETIN!
Some exciting news that you may (or may not actually) wanna read about.
My legs are stiff from an 8.5k run this morning (awesome!)
And i need to go pack parcels in the studio and get them posted.

Some Stuff that I Love....

 I love sewing. I love how relaxing it can be.
I love the colours together and the tactile-ness (is that a word?) of a finished  fabric piece.
 I love the Oldies. Ma and Pa Fish.
Funny, Sweet, Generous. Good People
 I looooove BIG family dinners.
The chaos and the tears. The constant teasing and laughing.
 I love eating too.
 I love love love, balmy Summer evenings:
 drinking champagne outdoors in the Citronella Candle light and *staaayyyyiinngggg* out until the cold really gets too much.
 I love it when the kids just run around together, playing games. CONTENT and free.
 I love cooking and Baking.
I love it when we all 'bring something along' and you never know what's on the menu.
 I love taking photos.
I'm no photographer. I just love that image - captured. *click*
 I love my Mrs.
Always there. Going through it all together. The secret conversations had in random texts and ranted emails. Knowing we'll talk about it alllll again, the next time we see each other.
I love my life.
Even though it is so hard and so exhausting and some days i cry and cry and cry.
I love my life
