'' You may drive a dog off the kings high chair, and he will climb into the preachers pulpit; he views the world unmoved, un embarressed, un abashed- Jean Le Bruyere.
Today, the first day of blogging i find myself thinking of a hundred and one ways of skinning a golden retriever to make into gloves and bags, before us lies a minefield of devistation,paper,threads, wood, earth, material wool,the odd pen or two. Five goldies come rushing up, tails wagging, 4 of them saying it wasn't them, the 5th saying I have played interior designer again. Lilly the 10 month old puppy looks at me with her big brown eyes, my heart melts, and thoughts of dog skin gloves disappear. Life with Martin, 5 Goldie's, Simba, Missy,Merlin,Tumi and Lilly, plus a tank of 4 large fish and Sophie the cat, is never dull, messy, but never dull. we all share a little house, filled to the roof tops with books, wool, material and various other interesting things. The mini ark of 4 legged friends keeps us on our toes, feeding,walking (Martin does that) fussing, grooming and helping at whelping times. We love them all to pieces, the big fella, Simba in particular has got us firmly under his fluffy paw. When we have time, I play with a variety of textile media's and martin is a mature University student studying IT. We also travel when we can, go to the theatre, read, watch TV, listen to audio books and enjoy life.
In this blog, I hope to be able to muse on life, show my current projects, share the furry adventures, my love of poetry, prose etc and meet fellow life traveller's.
Lilly by the way shows no remorse at her creative abilities, 4 new threads, a book and several other bits have died, never to be used again. Instead, she has climbed up by my side, wet nosed and waggy tailed, to supervise what I am writting here, just in case i should write anything negative about her.
