Out of Sorts...

....I heard some dreadful news today and I cant stop thinking about it...we have a park near us where I walk Ollie and to get it we have to walk through a small wooded part..Ollie loves it with all different sniffs for him...but I always keep him on the lead...as he is only small and there some big dogs around...I have always said that I would never trust a dog no matter how well trained they are...and I know you may think I'm silly but if a big dog comes near us or I see one on the same path I always pick Ollie up because you just never know...Ollie is very friendly but he gets very excited so I wouldn't want to risk a big dog getting too close...I have always said that people with big dogs shouldn't have them off the lead as people like me who have little dogs really don't know how well trained they are and the owners should be that responable..especially after all the horror stories you hear...Well on Tuesday we had our own horror story in our road...an elderly lady who lives a few house up from us was walking her sweet little poodle Sam...we see her walk past with him everyday and if we were in the garden we always have a little chat and a cuddle with Sam...on Tuesday she was on her way back through the wooded part of the park when poor Sam was savaged by a large dog...she obviously tried to fight the dog off..and was badly bitten and fell to the ground trying to save Sam. The large dog was with a woman who just walked off leaving the elderly lady on the ground bleeding and poor Sam in a dreadful state...there are houses close by and luckily someone came to her aid...This has made the front page of our local paper this week...the police are making enquires about the owner of the large dog...the elderly lady is ok... very shocked of course and Sam had emergency surgery but despite best efforts he died on Wednesday. I am just so upset about this I cant help thinking about that poor lady on the ground trying to save her dog...and how the owner could just walk away and leave her...there are some despicable people out there..I hope the police find who it was. I wont be walking Ollie through there again.

Sorry to go on so...I'm just so upset.

Hi all...its a wee bit chiller today..although sunny in my neck of the woods...been trying to get my Mum to do a Jigsaw puzzle...I haven't done one for years...but it keeps her occupied..and she seems to be doing ok...(my poor Mum has Alzheimers) so while she was doing that I had time to make a card and as I was one of the winners last week at Allsorts ...I thought I would support them again...their current challenge is Lavender & Lace...here's my card...

I used one of my new Christmas Tildas this one is Tilda with Hellebore's...but I thought she would be great for an any occasion card...she is coloured with Copics and Prismas pencils...the DP is by The English Paper Company...I added some lovely lace which I think came from The Ribbon Girl...WOC flowers..pearls and loads of sparkle...do pop over and check out the DT cards..truly lovely..

I used a sweet little Sugar Nellie image and coloured her with Promarkers and Prisma pencils..the DP is MME Madison Avenue...and I used one of my new Cheery Lynn Flourishes...I'm so loving these...you cant see it all as I have covered it with the bow...doh!!...but its gorgeous..this one is Victorian Romance Flourish.....I included a little piece of 'Muslin' which seems to be the stuff to use these days..I found a scruffy bit in our very old first aid kit...then I decided to trot off to Boots to see if I could get any there...in fact its Lint..and if you have a sniff around the first Aid dept you'll find the very stuff!!! I also bought some proper muslin today to have a play with too...anyway..I finished with Organza Ribbon, cute little spotty buttons and loads of sparkle...sorry about the dull pic..its very much lighter IRL.
