old to new friends

so i did a post last month on old friends which leave large paws in our lives when they leave , during that little post i show cased oscar my boyfriends beloved feline mini tiger friend who he sadly lost last summer .  from this the hole in there house was huge, every corner you walked around you expected him to be there . or you would expect him to be at the top of the stairs ready to try and trip you up .

but like i said from old friends departing comes new loves to hold. and from oscar came blade meet my boyfriends choice from a littler of 8 siberian husky pups.  he went in with an open mind not knowing if he wanted a boy or girl  all he knew is he wanted a pup that spoke to him to share his life with and they had to have blue eyes ,

 and here he is  4 weeks old not so much named then but is now Blade , and what a choice he was  hes our bundle of joy. and i knew from this because im here from the start i wanted to make a scrapbook of this pup and his life with my boyfriend so he had something to look back on because they grow so quick.

 so from fabric to paper another passion which i started kinda half half then found a stunning lady over at http://www.merlyimpressions.co.uk/ . chrissy is stunning she is amazing . kind gengerous and an all around it was her website and passion for the kaisercraft products which sparked the need to scrap this journey.

 so this is the small bundle of roses i placed in the corner of the photo for interes and alittle dimention to the page . i used a cheap dog collar to strip the page across the bottom.

and over on chrissy web site she has these pre cut scrap words  so all i did was add alittle glitzs and the phrase was perfect. ill have some more recent picks to prove how quick they grow and alittle more about those blue eyes my boyfriend wanted.

one step to far lol

okay ladies gents , ive gone one step to far and its all ebays fault i promise , i mean it , ebay and paypal for making shopping so easy . i really had to pull myself back on this one . i went fabric looking something that i like that shouts to me so here is what i found .

this first lot was a steal from a store closeing down sale , they didnt list the name and the ebayer has closed there account so i cannt post where i got this or what its called but i liked the pale colours and the patterns . i dont do girly but this just shouted to me maybe it was the price?? i dunno but its pritty.

these i loved because of the muted colours the old fashiony look and the patch work with out actually sewing the squares together . im a newbie cut me alittle slack ill learn lol .

 so this is a cotton fabric with just news paper print every where love it , maybe ill make my sis a pillow with this she loves to write , ooooo the crative juices are flowing.

 the red pack on the side unfold to these five prints , ive been seeing alot of something called "red work" latly and love the designs . i can draw  i cannt hand sew but i can draw so ill see where that goes.

 then under the newspaper print is these two muted peaces , they each have five prints on them but they are all one peace longer then they are wider but i loved the muted red and brown . and the script on these are stunning .

 

so my big mistake , i bought with no idea what to make but ill come up with something im sure . any ideas??

birthday girl,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE SIS,

the hole point of having a blog is to share my life and today is my younger sisters 17th birthday and here i get to share a double wammy my younger sis and her birthday, and then the dress we altered for her prom last year , we bought the dress on the cheaper end but added alittle her to it made it hers. so here is my sis and mum befor she went off on her prom.

 her she is with her friend who came around to do her make up (yes i am not girly and no i dont wear makeup myself) ooo just alittle hint but the necklace she is wearing i made that :D go me . like i said befor we added the lace to the dress and hand stichted it on .

 and then took it all the way down the back of the dress . it looked alittle simple so we went looking for roses and to match this colur was not easy. but it just so happened my luck was in and bo bunny the scrapbooking firm started bringing out fabric flowers for scrapbooking and they matched . what are the odds  so in design perspective odd numbers and five was it three wasnt enough .

im well pleased , she had a great night . no one els had her dress all winners.

SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE SIS XX LOVE YA

For the love of the past,

hello every one, i wanted to start my blog with shareing alittle of my past and the pets that make a paw mark on our lives that we never forget (my blog will not be pets pets pets but these are dear to me ) sadly all the pets featured hear are in a better place but that doesnt stop me thinking of them each and every day .

this is chester my first ever piggy and wht a piggy he was this guy grew so we called him chezzy chunka and chunka he was . just like the large hole he left in my heart when he left.

 following my first piggy comes my first bunny and it is thanks to smokey that i found a new love for bunnies . never having anything as big as him befor he was a character and a half. and boy did this guy coast me when he invited himself into the house and to chew phone wires . oooo and this guy had a passion for handbags weird bunny boy . but i loved him none the less .

 this little guy was jasper our long haird piggy  loving and snuggly with a little nip if you did something he didnt like . however if you give him celery well he's all yours . putty in your hands lol

 And finaly but not least is this mini tiger , who i have to admit turned my heart for the feline's in the world . i wasnt really a cat lover till i met him . this is oscar and he was my boyfriends cat . he was  a stand alone fighter and a friendly lover when he wanted a warm lap and a stroke . but it was always on his terms . but what a lover he was when he was loving .

We open our heart to animals each and every day and the marks they leave on us and our lives will never leave us no matter what .  yes all four of these animals left huge holes in my life and opened the door to a few more furry friends for my and my boyfriend which i will share with you on a later date
