Tosca, that lion is fabulous,I love lions. The cards & biscuits are lovely too. Glad you are able to sell some as well,keeps the lion from the door :lol: :lol: I'm intrigued on the story of a hand raised lion,can you tell us more

The lion is called Tejas, an Asiatic lion which featured in a series of evening programmes from Chester zoo in 2007, and was hand reared by his then keeper, and friend of our's, Alan Woodward, who is still involved with Tejas as he moves around Europe. Tejas even has his own facebook page, some people are obsessed!. It's all on google I think. I will be using a small image on some desperately needed man-cards, but the painting is large, I think too large for this house, Bonnie lab is not keen.

What will you do with picture?

We were going to keep it, I think it is one of the best he has done. But we have a load of pictures still waiting to be placed and as it is quite big I think it will have to be sold. It will pay the council and car tax and insurance for a year (yes, it really is that cheap out here.) A couple of people are interested but I don't know if he is ready to give it up yet.

Here are my basket and trolley covers.

That takes me back, I might have a go at a couple for some baskets we found. I will wait for the next spell of bad weather.

Well I think I am too blinking crafty for my own good. :ohmy:

I have just finished an embroidered cushion for the page boy to carry the wedding rings on, 130 wedding favour/cake bags, 100 mini jars of assorted red jams, and 120 place settings.

Late nights and dark eyes have been the order of the days.

Will post piccies after the wedding as I am a little superstitious. :blush:
