life is good

I started writing this post over a week ago and after a frustrating afternoon trying to edit my photos as they were the wrong way around I gave up... they don't seem to go to google pics anymore and I couldn't edit them where they were. Seems like I have missed out on changes while I was not blogging.
I had a play with my Mary Brown blocks to see how the blocks went together. When I took this pic I only had four to go......now I have one and a  half to go!
It will finish at this size and I am thinking of adding a thin coloured border to frame it  then a plain background border then I have a few ideas in mind for that border... a trailing vine, an outer geometric frame or sashes?
Decisions, decisions.... I have some time to work on that..


the most recent blocks I have made are...




Here's some furry love to share too for those that wanted a poppy update.
Poppy is going great guns, More front than Myers and a mouth like a snapping turtle (as Billy is discovering lol) with those sharp little puppy teeth! She can be quite the couch potato and gives great entertainment value.
I have some leave at the moment so hopefully I can start teaching her some proper manners and perfect her retrieving technique.

Poppy loves sleeping with/on Billy.

walkies! there is a halti in Poppy's future too...
Happy days!!
