My favorite things

Here is a list of my favorite things,I will probably add to this post as I think of new favorites.Obviously my hubby and dogs are favorites that goes without saying.

Bagpipes

Chocolate





Visit with mom


My mom came to visit yesterday,the dogs were so happy to see her Shelby shouted and shouted and then did a happy piddle,most of it on me.

We had a lovely visit and she brought me some Thimbles,the Pipkin fairy and a beautiful cat as well as three Thimbles by Gili (South Africa).This lady is so talented she hand paints her thimbles and they are absolutely gorgeous.We will soon be doing a profile on her on
Thimble chatter so keep an eye out,you won't be disappointed.

I have decided to try make my own dog clothes,once Louis shows me how to use the sewing machine,I know it's sad I don't know how to use it but I have never had a interest in sewing before.Cheyenne and mom popped back by the house to drop off the sewing machine and I got a glimpse of Chey's cellphone (Nokia 5000), omg gorgeous and it had a fairy on the screen,I love fairies.I will be able to get this phone when I get my upgrade,I have been in Phone Hell since my phone was stolen last year.It comes in pink and blue as well.

Housewife Hell

I am in Housewife Hell today,I decided to wash all the curtains today, a task I despise on any given day, it is a total mission.You have to take them down,remove all the hooks,wash them,dry them and then hang them back up.

You may ask what she is complaining about...well my washing machine doesn't spin so all the washing is sopping wet,the washing line fell over and now it looks like rain.Oh woe is me when can my hubby be!!!

Catography

Crazy camera mommy strikes again but this time it was a case of Catography instead of Canine shots.Meowki our cat is usually a solitary cat and when he is not maintaining his royal Status in the neighborhood he is sprawled out on the couch
I knew I say one of those pesky dogs here somewhere

Cat in motion

Our new car


Our old Bakkie is almost paid up, just two more payment's and this is the new one a Nissan NP200.Poor Louis has such trouble parking it as it is much bigger than the other one and takes up a lot more space in the garage.Jamie thinks this is his car and has taken to jumping into it whenever Louis leaves the door open

Meet Sparky

Sparky

Cinnamon and Sparky

Meet our new rat Sparky she is Sugar's new companion.All other rats are boys so cannot be put in the cage with Sugar for obvious reasons.Rats are social creatures and live in colonies and hate to be alone.Sugar has really been miserable since we took away all of her friends, so even though we have more than enough pets we got just one more so that she can live out her life a happy Rattie.

I moved all the rats into other cages,so when Sparky came home today I put them both into the cage in the study,so that it was a fresh environment for them both and no-ones territory.They love each other and have decided that they like each other.
