Crafts and Life

Okay an oddish sort of week! The main thing is that our gas cooker (that was here when we moved in) was giving up the ghost and so we got a new one installed (bought through John Lewis and the two chaps that came to install it couldn't have been better!)

Okay maybe not the best picture as the blind was down and the tiles are an orangy terracotta colour and that is maybe not the best for flash photography!

Anyway the day before that the two pooches went to the groomer to get smartened up

Toby is looking a little podgy still but Dr Wytch is doing the pooch to 5k with him and last week he lost 1.5lb which is a good start!

Another colour in the main section finished (and a bit of the medallions done as well – yay!), this means through that I can class that as two colours finished this year and this means that my plans for the year stand as follows :-
