One of the great (but occasionally very weird) things about designing projects for magazines is the peek into the coming seasons via the craft medium. This week I've made summer-themed cards for Craftseller
and although I know summer is on the way, this made it feel more real, somehow! As soon as I saw the summer tag (it's on one of the free papers they'll be giving away with the magazine - they send me the papers to make the cards for them) I knew I had to include it! It's a lovely spring day here in Cheshire today and it makes summer feel close by.
In Guide Dog Puppy Quentin news... well, he's had his first bus ride without any problems at all. He's continuing to behave himself in shopping centres and supermarkets, although that might all change once he spends more time on the floor than in my arms (which isn't far off - he's definitely growing fast and my arms won't hold out much longer!).
He loves going for little walks on the lead - which up to now are just up and down the driveway. I can't wait to see his reaction when he's allowed to go further (which won't be until he's been vaccinated). It's hard to imagine when you see him wandering, pulling on the lead, sniffing everything and picking up stones that he could one day be guiding a blind or partially sighted person around busy streets.
It's over to you now for Handmade Monday...
