Hiya! Come in .... shhh though the puppy is sleeping and the saying 'let sleeping dogs lie' is really true! I won't deny that the last couple of weeks have been tiring!! Did I forget how hard a tiny puppy is or is she just a little rip-a*se?? The problem is she is just so tiny, she fits through the railings on the decking and the fence in the garden so it feels like I can relax when we are outside! She has been waking so early too so, and you can't just put her down like a baby ... she doesn't just stay there!! All jokes aside though, she is so sweet and we all love her so much.

I'm not joking about the tiredness though. I have lived with chronic illness since I was 12 years old so always had to pace myself, rest and give myself time to recover. I had planned a quiet week after getting Delphi, but a last minute booking at the cottage meant that went out the window. (This is why I love a quiet life! haha) When I do get over tired though, the overwhelm soon raises its ugly head. I am feeling so much better this week though, thank God but I thought I would share some sayings that I love about feeling overwhelmed.





Have you got any that help you when you are feeling like that?

14 years of loving 
7 years of grieving
2 years of saving
3 months of looking
6 weeks of waiting
7 days of Delphi 









An amazing birthday present to myself!
This little sweetie has filled our home with play, stone collecting, finding areas that need puppy proofing, finger chewing and broken nights but mostly cuddles and cuteness. Welcome to the family Delphi!

This month I have decided my seasonal tree (fancy name for some branches!) is going to have a dog theme! Dilly’s birthday was in May, Duggee’s birthday is the end of May and obviously little Delphi’s gotcha day was this week too.

As this is a new theme I am starting from scratch so all I’ve made so far is a set of little hanging picture frames. I have painted these tiny embroidery frames and decoupaged a picture of each of my doggies including my dilly-dog who died 7 years ago. I made these before I picked up Delphi so the photo was one the breeder sent me. I may re-do one when she’s a bit older with another picture.

I have some ideas to make some little decorations with beads, modelling some with fimo, felting little dogs and making something with their names on. Let me know if you have any other ideas!



And if your wondering, we’ve had a lovely week with Delphi and she’s settled in so well!

How are you decorating your seasonal tree this month?
