I cried for weeks when I lost him, had him at six weeks and he never left my side, I'd love another dog but just fear the heart break when you lose them. Love having a dog around, just makes you feel good.
I'd love to retire, I'm 51 this year and would love to get made redundant, I'd then just look for something part time and have more time for sewing.
Love the table runner, a good size for me to start off with, I have all my 5" autumnal squares, although the pattern states 4 5/8" squares, seems a strange size to me so I'll have to cut my squares down. Just need to get some lighter fabric for the background, will have to visit the fabric shop next weekend, oh well needs must.
