changes...
it would seem that a few changes are happening around me at the moment...
little things taking me in new directions craft wise...
how i look out at the world and realising who i can trust and who i clearly cannot...
and one huge change that if all goes well in the next few weeks looks set to change mine and stephens life forever.....
so
one of the small changes is how i feel about what i sell... in the days when i had my bricks and mortar shop i loved going to trade fairs and choosing mass produced items that i would buy in to sit next to the handmade..
i carried on my cupcakes shoplet and joined not on the high street when we moved and just transferred all goodies to online selling - it was a great way to stay in touch with old shop customers and it of course paid some bills..
now i live so far North and have the life that i do, it is not possible for me to gad about at trade fairs looking for the next delight, and browsing through endless brochures is a chore i could do without...
so
i have slowly started to wind down cupcakes.. it will still remain over at NOTHS but will have a smaller more select range - i am undecided if i will keep my own website for cupcakes active..
with my mind shifting firmly from the mass produced to the handmade i have made the decision to start blogging over here
olive and harry is the name of my handmade company that has been pretty much just sitting around doing nowt for the last few years - now is the time to start looking after it a little more and hopefully watch it slowly grow

the first post today will be a catch up on the hounds and ducks...
our group of bandits are all doing well.. two girls continue to guard a nest but no sign of any more ducklings as of yet....
the sweet pair of ducklings are growing at an incredible rate... the pale yellow one chats from the moment you open the door in the morning until it is put to bed at night...
the hounds have enjoyed some sunshine and the long grass
no picture of george or mcdog as camera run out of steam :(
back soon with catch up #2 ... makes :)

sheep for the sheep raffle
vintage and recycled fabrics..
sheep merrily grazing along the velvet hillside....
available as a raffle prize as soon as the powers that be manage to finish testing the payment pages...
in other news....
a gross act of bullying took place yesterday evening....
this poor hooded crow was attacked by its own kind, at least fifteen other crows took him down in one of our sheep fields..
the screaming alerted us enough to reach him in time - it looks as if he has a broken wing...
he has spent today in a rabbit hutch, eating duck food soaked in warm water and gazing out to sea...
this evening a very kind and sweet inspector came and collected him - he is off to a rescue centre where they can assess the damage and see what his chances are....
we have everything crossed for our hooded friend

the banana splits....
our sweet ducklings are lucky ducks indeed....
they get to drink from a rather lovely old banana split dish...
they also have vintage china plates for their food and a sandwich dish for a very shallow paddle...
seriously cute.....
