Hello everyone , I have been missing for ages ,due to a certain little lady, meet Effie our new golden retreiver.
She is 2 (last week) and is a rescue.Very timid and had not been walked off the lead at all . She has settled in well and found a corner of our hearts that we share with our other goldies who are no longer with us.
As you can see she has made herself very much at home. None of our others were allowed on the furniture ,but we gave in as she was so worried when we got her. A month in and she is off the lead in the fields and comes when called, it is a joy to watch her bounding through the grass. Full of life and happiness. She is still wary of other people ,but now thinks every dog is a friend ,not got round to playing chase yet but I think it will come.
This one was taken from the computer ,as somehow it is not on my camera , Up in the fields,she likes the sea but is not sure what it is, she paddles in the shallows then lays down and rolls in it. So funny to see after out other swimming boys. We have booked her in to be spayed in a couple of weeks time. We are not allowed to breed from her and we would not want to. She has been very interested in our friends tortoise that we looked after for a few weeks.
Not quite sure what it was, but knew the routine of getting it out in the morning and putting it away at night. I think she wonders where it has gone,as she keeps looking for it,
I have done a little stitching and have 3 finishes to show you.
JBW designs French Country Crow,
Promise Me by Lizzie Kate,made for Kate our daughter to put on her desk at work,This I did whilst stitching along with Sally on our Lizzie Kate Monday nights.
Christmas Rose by LHN. Now on to the wip ,I have a love of Jane Austen as some of you know.so just had to stitch this one by Lindys stitches.This was done on Friday nights ,with Sally as this is sheepie night.
I also have something else but that I cannot show you as it is an Halloween exchange piece with Tina.That piece I am stitching on Wednesday night over at Needlecraft Haven .
Something else I have done this month is needlefelting. I bought a kit from Krithinas Kritters and here (or should I say hare) us the outcome.
My moon gazing hare. I then thought I would try a couple more from out of a book I have.
A retreiver and a penguin, the dogs legs are a bit strange but practise will hopefully make me better . I bought a book ,oh yes you know me and books but this one is a doing book not a reading book lol.
So you may see more felties coming at a later date. I mentioned books hmmm , should I tell you I have got more . These were my latest purchases.
Sorry it is on its side.Tilt the head to one side.
My bedside pile grows ever taller.I have a very dear friend in Orlando who I was really worried about as the Hurricane Irma was projected to hit there on Sunday. I think it veered left so maybe she was ok. Havent heard so I am praying no news may be good news. She kindly sent me these 2 charts.
Looking forward to doing these. I also gave in and ordered 2 from The Primitive Hare, I do love her designs.
Another Jane Austen one . Then a Halloween witch one.
So I have put these in folders so I do not lose or use the threads. So much goodiness out there. I have got another 2 ordered that I am waiting for so they will be shown next time . I will leave you with another picture of the new addition ,and hope that I will catch up sooner next time. Meanwhile take good care of yourselves and this comes as usual with many hugs and much love.

Is there room on the chair for 2.

Effie is just gorgeous! Good for you two. Good for Effie!! I had to laugh when I saw her on the furniture. ;) What wonderful projects you have lined up Barb! I too am wondering about our Barbara.
Love your new golden girl! She is beautiful, and lucky to have been adopted by such a loving family. I hope you will continue to post more photos of her.
Lucky girl - she has fallen on her feet :) and apart for helping her ease into her new life, I see you have kept yourself very busy, I've dabbled in needle felting this week too - rather enjoyed it, so think I will have to do some more :)
Congratulations on your newest family member. Beautiful color she is, and quite a looker! Stitching looks good too but pups always steal the post.
Effie is just beautiful .
How lucky to be part of a wonderful family .
Wow lovely stitching and stash , you have been busy hugs.
Effie is gorgeous!
Lovely stitching, and the needlefelting is awesome (especially Mr Penguin!)
I like the new P&P chart. I hadn't seen that one before
I have four dogs, two of which are rescues. They are always a bit different to other dogs, with little quirks but that to me, makes them that little bit more special. I'm so glad your little lady has found such a wonderful new home. Amazing stitching projects. And you know my love of all things hare! It's wonderful!
It looks like Effie has settled in very well. Great stitching and lovely new stash.
She's gorgeous, Effie does look very settled and enjoying a 'daddy' cuddle.
Pretty gift for Kate, I have that chart too to be stitched at some point - when the bug returns. Lovely ornament finish too.
Nice new goodies to keep you busy in the winter months.
love and {hugs} xx
You have been busy! Effie looks like she is settling in nicely.
Oh my what a beautiful Effie. I know she has to be happy by the look on her face while lying on the sofa. She has found a home. I love the needle felting....I'm a chicken when it comes to things like that. Some beautiful finishes there and also some great patterns to begin.
Hugs from Orlando
What a sweet girl, how blessed you both are!
I love your finishes, they look great.
And your needle felting, adorable!
Effie is so sweet Barb! She looks very settled and contented.
Lots of lovely finishes and stitching there. Of course lovely new stash too! I have been stashing but will only be able to show one of them! Lol. I was restrained though as I could have ordered at least 2 more! I think I need certifying lol!
Your needle felting is lovely! Abi fancies having a go. We were looking at kits in Hobbycraft but she decided not to get one. Might be something for me to buy her for Christmas! I will show her yours.
See you later for our SAL xx
What a lovely dog, a very lucky one to have found such a great home now.
Love the needle felted hare, that's a fun new hobby to try.
Eleanor Oliphant is a great book, I read it a while back and really enjoyed it. I shan't say too much more for fear of spoilers! But let me know when you finish it.
