Still here . . .

A whole week's gone by since my last post - tsk, tsk . . .
I have a good excuse though :-)

The Hubby is away in Japan (lucky him, eh?) so my lovely Mama & the Dad are visiting from Scotland to keep me & the pups company.

at Winterbourne Gardens

Sooo, not a lot of crafting going on, but we are getting out & exploring,  having lots of yummy lunches and scrumptious teas,

Hanbury Hall Parterre Garden

and celebrating an upcoming birthday . . .




Thanks sooo much for all your sweet & lovely comments about my Scrappy Glamping Trip quilt though, and I hope to have it completed in the not-too-distant future.  


And again, a big welcome to those of you who've just joined us - I hope you enjoy following along on my crafty adventures.

Back soon,
xoxo

ps. and here's a wee glimpse of what happens when the Hubby (aka The Dogfather) is away
; - )

the Jerry-dog

  1. Hi, hope the weather stays nice for your outings while your Mum and Dad are here.
    Jerry certainly knows where the comfy, cozy spot is, bless him. Just a shame Ben wasn't on there with him, that would of been a lovely pic.

  3. A lovely colourful post Gilly, looks like you've had a lovely time with your Mum and Dad. I love the picture of your naughty dog on the bed ... I have a similar one!

    Just noticed I wasn't on your sidebar ... I've followed you for ages, honestly! This has been happening a lot lately, don't know whether blogger is playing tricks again, but I've had to rejoin lots of blogs lately ... I've just rejoined you anyway, so I'm your newest follower!

    Lots of love, Claire xx

  5. Looks like you're having a wonderful visit with your parents. I love your glamping quilt! Aww...your doggy is so cute and looks very happy in that spot. Although, it does look like he might have a wee bit of worry on his face that he's not supposed to be up there. lol :-)

  9. When I lived out of town I loved when my parents would come to see me or when I got to go see them, there is nothing like having mom around to cook with... I had a friend go to Japan once and bring me back kitkats, they have tea kitkats there!! Strange... And the way they package their food is to near perfection in Japan..
    Much love,
    Tammy

    1. They are indeed, Joy :-) And yes, Jerry thinks she ought to be comfortable too, but she does have 3 very comfy beds of her own in various parts of the house! But how can I resist that sweet, adoring little face ;-)
      Have a lovely week,

    1. Well usually she's not allowed up on the bed, but I think she thinks it's the Dogfather that made that rule and "if the cat's away... etc" ;-)
      Have a happy week,
      xx

  22. Enjoy the family! I tend to behave much the same when my hubby's travelling, but instead of a dog, my eldest daughter and I have sleepover parties in my bed, complete with 'midnight' feasts (at 8pm!)...Chrissie x

  23. Our spaniel knew when it was the weekend - when one of us got up and let the dogs out of their bedroom (my sewing room by day) she would run though and jump up on the bed!

  28. Well sounds like parties all round at your house! Happy Birthday to your dad ... how nice to be able to spend a birthday together :) My dad is turning 90 in two weeks, and the whole family is gathering for a feast to celebrate. I let my dog sneak onto my bed occasionally for early morning tea and computer time ... don't tell!! Usually he only hops on the bed in our camping trailer with my son. It's fun to spoil them sometimes though isn't it? Enjoy your time with your parents Gilly. Wendy x
