My Dog

Thought I'd share an image of my dog. The artwork was done by a friend and we had the image turned into chunky canvas picture which hangs in my study.

Tardis

You too can be the proud owner of your very own Tardis from This Planet Earth

Crochet

Thought I might have a go at some crochet as haven't done any in years. I have a pattern for lacy short sleeve top but saw this wedding dress. Looks gorgeous. I would guess it would stretch with wear so maybe not hold its shape so well, but still beautiful.

Father's Day

This looks like a really good idea. A portable fishing kit disguised as an oversized pen. Neat enough to carry in the glove compartment of a car and handy for camping. Comes complete with reel, hooks, line, weights and lure.
