Working, Playing and sleeping!

Beautiful sunny and rather warm bank holiday weekend saw us starting to build an outdoor room on the back of the house.  First off was the decking to be laid.  Help, as ever was at hand given by the youngest member of our household!

Zeva, is now 12 weeks old and becoming very comfortable in her new surroundings, sleeping all night now until 6.30am and still eating 4 times a day, she has eaten 4 kg of food in the two weeks we have had her and gained 2 kg in weight! and almost doubled her size, that is some going for a little girl!

Mind you it has all been too much for our eldest family member, Chloe is just happy to watch the 'youngsters' work!

Afraid that the middle member of our family Jazz, was no where to be seen all day! more than happy to remain indoors out of the way of  all and the noise!

And then it all got too much in the heat for the human!  and now just a few minutes later it was all too much for Zeva as well !

To be continued......................................... x

Where have I been?

Well for the past few weeks I have been planning and waiting for the arrival of this little bundle below:

She has now arrived much to the amazement of Chloe and Jazz

All this heavenly sleeping may well be a thing of the past

Our pup was born on the 2 March 2013 and is an Alaskan Malamute.  Out of interest her
kennel club name is Qimugta Misty which means 'puller'  > She is a sled dog afterall!

However we have named her ZIVA, far more pronounceable and short and very sweet.

Picture taken today between bouts of sleeping, eating, weeing and pooing!

This is the first time I have entered into my workroom since Ziva arrived, you certainly forget what hard work they are as puppies.  

PORTSMOUTH CHARITY MOTORCYCLE EVENT

Beautiful sunny day last Sunday saw Paul and I take the Harley for a ride out to Portsmouth.  The Lord Mayor had a Motorcycle, trike and scooter meet at the Guildhall.

Here we all are arriving for the meeting point just before the ride out to Portsmouth.

Always someone ready to catch me off guard!

 Arriving at the Guildhall - over 700 bikes, trikes and scooters

 And the winner was:  the scooter!

SPRING HAS ALMOST SPRUNG!

Its the 3rd April and although the sun is shining brightly this morning it is still only 3 degrees with a bitterly cold, freezing wind feeling more like a minus 3 degrees!  There are not many Spring flowers in my garden most have been frozen so the tulips are now indoors, unfortunately not picked from the garden!

My latest picture of my little Granddaughter Talitha - she will have a special Birthday on Saturday 3 years old.  It has been so wonderful watching her changing face over the last year, such a grown up little soul now and look at those beautiful pig tails ..........  xxxxxx

SHOW TIME - at last!

At last the long wait is over! The TEDDIES WORLDWIDE Show starts today, Friday, 4pm New York time and 8pm here in the UK: I have finished all 10 Bears and I do so hope that you are going to like them. They are all sitting in my workroom at the moment looking very bright and colourful. It has been fun once again making a group of Bears and not just the one, it certainly gets the `mojo' and creative juices in top form!
Have fun with this show there will be a lot to look at at, 75 Bear Artists with at least 5 bears and probably most with more. At least you can sit in the warm and browse the world and enjoy the weekend.

Just finally a big thank you if you did go and vote for your favourite Teddy Bear in all the categories that were available.
