It’s a bit surreal, making stuff for Christmas when the sun is shining and it’s 30° outside.
But needs must. I have fairs booked.
But I also have a dog to look after, who is taking up a lot of time. She is not the sort of dog you can ignore.
Three good long walks a day are not just desirable, but absolutely necessary to keep Lupin out of mischief.
And it’s bloody tiring, I don’t mind telling you.
But once Lupin has been walked, she settles down and lets me work for a few hours.
With my time limited, I’m having to work a bit more efficiently.
Which means making multiples of things, as per the heavenly host pictured above.
Although, sometimes it does get a bit tedious.
So a little variation is called for, by way of distraction…
I taught myself how to make a mini elf hat.
Because, well… variations on a theme are allowable, aren’t they? ♥
All that exercise and fresh air has got to be helping your mood and your mojo too, I think. The pixie hat is extremely cute, btw!
I’m not sure about mood improvements Kate… it somewhat depends upon how Lupin has been behaving! We had a very bad day yesterday – she ran off at the park and wouldn’t come back, bullied a couple of smaller dogs, made a nuisance of herself every time we tried to eat anything and barked constantly whenever our neighbour emerged into his garden.
Today however we met up with a friend with an equally large, bouncy young dog (a labradoodle) with whom Lupin romped and chased for a good hour, meaning that I have had a lovely quiet day as she sleeps it off!
Love the hat!!
