Well as a lot of you know already yesterday was my birthday. I was........39 although my Mother In Law In Sin sent me a 40th card!! It wasn't her fault, she was told in error.

Anyway, I had a really fantastic day spent with my very own little family. We went to a Flea market and I bought BUTTONS!!! Lots of BUTTONS :) And then in the evening all my family came around for a wonderful party. I just wanted to show you a few of my gorgeous pressies.

So firstly, I was overjoyed when the Bunny Maker told me to pop to her shop and pick a pressie. I picked Spot but when he arrived he was NOT alone!! Out of this tiny pail jumped out ikkle stripey and some yummy carrots!

Next up are some pressies from my utterly wonderful mummy. All I can say is SHE KNOWS ME SO WELL! Much to the OH's disgust...he is not overkeen on my tastes.

I am a sucker for old tins so was pretty happy to receive this gift from my mother, but then it kept giving!! Opened it up and there was a gorgeous set of 6 rose glasses!

Next she gave me a 1950's flamingo!! How does she find this stuff...I love it so much.

Followed by a Vernon Ward painting of swans which I utterly adore.

I am in birthday heaven! OH is in Kitsch Hell Mwhahahahahahahaha

When the Dog Meet the Bunny....

They wished.

It was Hotdogs great pleasure to meet the famous Widget yesterday. The Bunny Maker put out a request for a day out at Kitty Pinkstars Wishing Tree.  Hotdog read the request and then went running round the house like a mad thing until I agreed to take him.

So yesterday we packed up our things and made the journey over to Upton Country Park near Poole and met up with the Bunny Maker, her lovely son, Widget and The Bunny King.  We had a yummy cuppa, saw some Peacocks and then went for a bumpy walk to the Wishing Tree.

Hotdog was worrying that we would not be able to find it, how wrong he was!  It's very unmissable - or BRIGHT might be another way to put it.

The tree is beautiful, especially on a dull day, it's positively glows.  The wishes are fantastic to read and so many of them. So keep up the fantastic work Kitty. (psst click her name to go see her sock creations, they are cool)

This was one of my favourite wishes, Hotdog told me to stop being so soppy!

Hotdog left his wish, I said maybe it was a little bit on the greedy side but he was adamant, that was his wish.

WE LOVE YOUR WISHING TREE KITTY PINKSTAR

Children In Need

Hotdog and Me set a challenge to the good folk over on Folksy last week.  We offered the 1st 12 folksians sock kits for free but they had to create a sock creature and they had to donate that to the Crafteroo Children In Need shop.

These kits got snapped up very quickly and the challenge was on.

Not all the creations are finished yet, you can't rush perfection afterall:) but I thought I would do a kind of mid-challenge update as Children In Need is looming ever closer. 

What better way to raise money for such a good cause then to actually buy something!!  It's win win and you could end up with something totally fab for a Christmas present or even yourself!

Still for sale are:

Above we have Austin the Sock Zorse by Pennydog

Professor Babson the Manx Cat by Rara Avis

A Norwegian Lurgle by Widget and Friends

Hartley the Sockosaurus by Grannyruth

Lucy "The Love Stinks" Skunk by Handcrafted

These have been sold

 

Above we have:

Labra Kadabra by See The Woods

Dreads by Helen Jane Designs

Violet by Chiyo

So pop over to the Children in Need shop, support a great charity and show love to all the fantastic sellers on Folksy who have donated items.  Remember the price of everything in the shop is donated to the charity not just a small percentage!!

Where Have That Pesky Lot Gone?

I was just having a look in my very very messy workroom and discovered that Hotdog, Weeny Woo, Weeny Woo's baby and The Hooterninnie have all disappeared!

Where have THEY gone I thought!!  So off on a merry hunt I went.  I searched the whole house but to no avail.  Finally a lightbulb came on above my head.....I had turned the light on by mistake!! Finally I had a brainwave!  I remember hearing them whispering all last week about how they were fed up being stuck in the house all the time.  Weeny Woo, who has a really happy nature, was bored at being ignored, I heard her moan that I hadn't even introduced her on the blog.

Armed with this new thought I went in search outside.  Eureka!!  I found them, all crammed into the camper van.

They were off on an Adventure they said but didn't get past getting into the van.  They were in the middle of trying to figure out how to reach the steering wheel when I found them.  Weeny Woo had the brilliant idea of all climbing on top of each other to reach it but they hadn't banked on Hotdog's clumsyness!!

They all agreed to come back inside when I told them that before they went anywhere in the van it would need a blinkin good wash.  They all had a look out the window and agreed that it probably was not a good idea to take it out JUST yet.....especially when they noticed all the cobwebs!! 

Weeny Woo and baby came all the way over here from Widget and Friends and The Hooterninnie came to us from Oddsox , so if you fancy some cuteness in your life, pop over to their shops.

Ssshhhh, lastly before you go, if you get a spare minute can you go over to Craftjuice and vote for Brian please?  I'm whispering cos Weeny Woo's bunny maker has a skull and crossbones over there as well and she's beating me :)

New Pups on The Block

Well we have a new addition to the family, this time it's a human and not a sock puppy, so we have been a little bit pre-occupied at Hotdog's pad!

However, we have had a few new puppies arrive too so Hotdog wanted to introduce them to the world.













From left to right we have Colin, Deirdre Barklow and Dexter Digdog. They are all happy happy happy and are loving the new human.

Keep an eye on the blog over the next week as we had another new addition or should I say additions. They came over from The Warren and are totally adorable. We want to take time blogging about them as Hotdog wants to give the limelight to them, he is totally in love with them. I have never seen him so bowled over!! Check out the bunny shop, but be warned, you might need sunglasses as there is a new, VERY colourful bunny over there at the moment!
