A Wrap-Around Dog

I've just got back home from a talk by David Kennard who is the creator of 'Mist sheepdog tales'. It's a children's television program on Channel Five. He even brought along one of the stars of the show, his sheepdog Fly.

I don't make a habit of going to talks about sheep dogs. Once a month I go to a Speaker Meeting with Soroptimist International, Barnstaple (* info at end of my blog) and tonight's turn was sheep dog trials. We even had a demo. This involved a group of business women sat bleating like sheep, the farmer whistling, and the dog running round the room as if she was rounding us up...

While I was sat there I remembered I have a much loved jumper with a dog on it. Aha, another day's blog!

So, meeting over, I've dashed home to find my jumper and write about it. Happily, while I was looking I found another 5 home-made things to write about. Phew, that makes the 365 day challenge a little easier to meet!

On with the jumper. Not literally...

My Mum was a prolific knitter when I was younger. She knitted this jumper for me when I was 11 or 12. My sister got one too. Her's had a squirrel on it.

I absolutely love Dachshunds.

This is one very much loved Dachshund.

He's now a covered in bobbles and even a little holey.

It's stretched that much I can still fit into it.





Until tomorrow,
