Mid June catch-up

June is whizzing by . . . . .

The month started with some dog sitting. My Mum and Dads dog, Libby came to stay.

Penny enjoys the company, but Libby spends her time collecting tennis balls and sleeping!

With my parents being away we also had chickens to feed. They have lots of room, plenty of food but no longer lay any eggs, so no egg payments for us.

Also this month I've signed up to display my animal heads in the local library. So lots of planning ready for July, when a selection of animals will be for sale in the library. 

I've made some stands to display my animals and also some card stands for photos. I still need to print price labels, a blurb, contact details . . . . . .

I also had a surprise invitation to take part in a local agricultural show

 (more details to follow).

Also in July, so a very busy time coming up.

I thought I'd add a couple more farm animals to the list with the show coming up.

In between all the sewing, I've also spent a lot of time walking Penny.

 I've also

•  Had a trip to see Mr Drill & Fill (the Dentist, to replace a filling)
•  Revised / re learnt straight line graphs with my Son (y=mx + c). 
•  Visited the vets with our rabbit, he also needs dental work. Keep your fingers crossed, he goes in tomorrow and will need an anaesthetic, not so safe for a rabbit.
• We've also got university visits planned for my Daughter.
• I've ordered business cards, with contact details on for the show.
• I've bought some 'rustic wooden crates' for my stall at the show. (more rustic than I wanted but hey ho)
• Penny has been booked in for a groom. (similar to shearing a sheep)
• The best news so far this month was in a report from Alder Hey Hospital. Reading between all the hospital speak, it says the treatment my Sons having is helping. So we've  some more treatment booked in for August but hopefully the improvements will continue.

If you are interested in seeing my animals, I now have a dedicated Instagram page, link below.
