Dogs High Visability Jackets


Missie and Ruby were both very reluctant little Models but once they are finished they will wear them proudly when away.


As we do a lot of caravanning and camping away from power & lights it is sometimes very hard to see our 2 little Dogs in a torchlight. Not that they wonder off too far.



Reflective strips & bone shapes and Fluro Orange Jacket was my solution to helping me find them in the dark.


Bring on the next camping weekend so we can try them out.
Shhhh I haven't told one sister in law yet but there is one in the making for her Sasha.
Lets hope they do the job that they are intended for.

Then cut along the pencil lines.

Cold & wet now for the knitting.


With the cold and wet weather here it is time to dig out last years knitting that I started. Hopefully it will be easy to pick up from where I left off.

All Done


Finally My Quilt is all done...............Yeah. It took a bit longer than I had wanted to but hey I have learnt several things along the way by my mistakes. Hopefully now I won't repeat any of them in the future.



The underside of the quilt with some slight puckering that I am prepared to live with. What is done is done and I am not going to spend another number of weeks unpicking it.


Ted and Yasmin are quite content sitting under the quilt.
