Have you met Willow?

This is she doing, as John calls it, her best Claudia Winkleman impersonation.



She is the little girl we re homed back in September and she is quite the Ickle Pickle!!!  She often has several adventures a day.  Today's included taking out all my Finnish wool from it's bag and spreading it all over the house.

The other day she found one of my necklace mannequins, luckily without necklace, and decided to eat it.  I am in the process of trying to rescue it!



OK so it won't be as pretty as it was but I have a bit of a plan and for now it is gessoed and drying.

(Willow is a lovely dog and has the sweetest nature.  Her mischievous side has been a steep learning curve after having such well behaved dogs but she is very much worth the effort and, as we are her 5th owners in her 2 years of life, we are more than willing to give her a little slack. )

I also laid out another blanket base.

After embellishing so far.

It still has a long way to go until I'm happy with it but these things take a while before they are integrated.

I did do a little stitching on this one too having found it where it was buried under last weeks coursework.

A nice surface to stitch.  Now tonight do I carry on with a little stitching, do some knitting or carry on with the magazines?
