Friendship

Hello all and I hope that all is well with you and that you enjoyed a relaxing Bank Holiday weekend (for those in the UK!) and that you've all had some sunshine wherever you are.  Thank you so much for all your lovely thoughts and comments about the loss of my little dog, they have meant so much and been hugely appreciated.  We miss Tilly the Dog so much, she was such a big character and gave us all so much fun and laughter - along with doggy cuddles and kisses! But we're trying hard to remember all the good things and not dwell on the sadness (despite me having the odd 'wobble') - and to reassure Grumpy Poppy the Cat that things are ok. She keeps wandering round, peering into corners, obviously waiting for the dog to bounce out at her!  Our dog and cat spent a lot of time together, slept together at night and jostled one another out of the way when it came to getting fuss and attention - so I suppose it's only natural that the cat is a bit confused now that she's an 'only cat'!

Anyway, as crafting has always been my 'therapy' I've 'Carried On Crafting', doing some colouring, card-making and crocheting.  I'll share some pics soon of the crocheted blanket I've been making for the last couple of months - I'm quite pleased with it!  But thought I'd share a card with you that I made and delivered to our vet and his great team (as a thank you card) - they have always been so good with us, particularly over the last difficult few weeks.


I've used a sweet LOTV stamp coloured with a mix of copics and pencils.

The papers are from LOTV, with some ribbon from stash.  The 'stitch' stamp and sentiment are also from LOTV. I've used the DooHickey doily flower and MB precious hearts dies, with pearly centres from WOC. 
I wasn't sure about the colours at first - the aqua and lilacs together - but I think they work ok. 
I'll try to catch up with all your crafting in Blogland and I'll be back soon to share some pics of the crocheting! 
Take care,
Kim x

    Such a lovely card, the vet team will be really touched. I did the same for ours. You have been on my mind Kim and as you say there are bound to be wobbles. I had such on a visit to Tesco recently after I spotted the vet that helped Mog on his way. I have never shopped so quickly, then got to the car and sobbed all the way home!! xx

    What a fabulous card Kim and the image is so wonderful and perfect for this sad time. Your vet and his team will cherish this card and I think you are so considerate for thinking of them. Our vet sent out a sympathy card but it hadn't occurred to me to send one to them so I'm sure they were so happy to receive it.
