Thinking about getting a little dog

we have been actively looking for a small dog, but so far we have had no luck the 2 that we applied to adopt were both already given away one to a volunteer at the shelter and the other to another rescue shelter, so tomorrow we are going to a different rescue shelter to look at a this dog .

So I have bought a few small dog pattern books once we get a dog I can start knitting for it :)

Welsh Doll



I have always written to Pen-Pals, when I was 16 years old one of my pen-pals (Beverly) who lived in England, was killed by a drunk driver. Her mother wrote to tell me and we have stayed in contact ever since, in fact 2 years ago I met her(Ella) for the first time, as she was in Vancouver , BC Canada on a Tour and had a few days in that she was able to meet up with me, then again a few weeks ago she was in Vancouver again so we met up for a day and had lunch and went shopping, we got talking and I was telling her that I was going to try and make a Welsh Costume for one of my childhood dolls, she told me she still had Beverly's Welsh Doll that she had knitted the costume for many a year ago. Last week it arrived in the mail for me, Ella felt that Beverly would have wanted me to have her doll.
I am so thrilled that Ella sent her to me, she will always hold a special place in my heart.
Ella is now 73 years old, she is hoping to make another trip to Vancouver later this year.

Barbie needs a new outfit!






I made a pile of outfits for my friends daughters(Barbie) then thought Gee I better make a new outfit for my own fashion model LOL!

I loved my Gollywog as a child!



So I had a pen-pal in England find me a Gollywog pattern :) I haven't finished him yet but here is the work in progress and also a you can see my small Gollywog I had a a child :)
I know that there has been a lot of talk the last few years about Golltwogs, and I do want everyone to know that my knitting a Gollywog is only because of my childhood memory of having one, and for no other reason.
