inbetween the roofing and digging.......

i am finding time to make, make, make........

wholesale orders......




stock piling......



present making....

love, love, love finding the time to create .....

just wish i could manage a few more hours of it each day....

i will have to persuade my "boss" that i am more of a brooch maker than a builder :)

simply beautiful.....

back to normal....

such a long time since my last post....
i have been enjoying a visit from my sweet sister and my gorgeous nephew - lots of giggling, laughter, eating and chatting until 3am!
needless to say the house is incredibly quiet now they have gone and i miss them terribly :(
both Stephen and i have realised that Sea House is indeed a very large house for just two people, it seems such a happier place when there are more folk using the space....

the last few days have been filled with catching up with orders including a small wholesale order of these guys.....



i will be sad to see them go....

i have a few left that are sitting very patiently and waiting for kind new homes.....
the lucky new owners can rest assured that these are truly very well behaved squirrels not at all like the pesky ones over the sea at Tif's place....
they will be very carefully wrapped with an acorn each :)



the cost per squirrel is £6.50 which includes postage which will no doubt be rather slow.....
the difficulty will be choosing between the brown and the grey.... the brown is made from felt and the grey from a rather lovely tweedy type fabric - each has its very own knitted acorn x




just email me at ..... tracy@cupcakesdirect.com
and i will let each little fellow know that they have been chosen :)

i will return soon with an update on all the animals

a quiet day....

very windy....
very grey.....
very wet......

so
we have been cuddling up, playing indoors and sharing treats x

i shall return tomorrow with a group of squirrels looking for new homes.....

preparation......

Rodders has recently had the hairdresser in..........

clearly he is preparing himself for the annual meeting with his harem of ladies.....

not long to go old boy :)

... another thing i miss.....

since moving to Scotland i am sure that i have not seen a squirrel..... not even when walking the dogs in the forest
perhaps squirrels are not keen on coastal locations or Scots pine trees?

anyhoo

this thought kind of hung around in my mind and today i found myself avoiding *real* work and making squirrels instead....



my russety red chap with his velvet topped acorn will soon be followed by a glorious grey.....
i shall finish him in the morning as i plan on *avoiding* a little roofing!

the ducks....

for those that took note of my last blog on the ducks where i harped on about how wonderful they are and how every small garden should have some........
i can only apologise .....

ducks are indeed wonderful and our motley crew give me so much happiness each and every day, but the mess, the mess, the mess!!!






i had not realised that ducks love mud more than they love water.....
oh my
they turned our very green duck area in to a mud wrestling arena in no time at all...




now
we are very lucky in that we have a large area for the mud fiends with scope to increase the area should we need to but those with a smaller garden please take note.... if you value your lawn and flowers and are in anyway proud of your garden then do not let a group of ducks loose!

the pictures say it all....


how very happy these ducks are :)
