Handmade Monday 165

Welcome to another Handmade Monday!  I don't know about you, but time seems to be speeding by at an alarming rate - these weeks come by far too quickly!  Magazine projects and deadlines seem to make time go even more quickly, as I'm always looking ahead.  I think we need a pause button sometimes - anyone else feel that?

But (maybe at least getting a sense of slowing down slightly) I'm loving the vintage feel on my latest card making project for Craftseller magazine..

These cards utilise the free papers that Craftseller will be giving away with issue 38, but I also got to use a free download from The Graphics Fairy in the form of a French postcard back - which I just love.

And as I was speaking of magazine projects, vintage and looking ahead...this is part of the latest projects, too:

Quentin news
Guide dog puppy Quentin is still doing well.  He's pretty good now at sitting on my left hand side, responds really well to come, sit, wait and (to a lesser degree) down and is starting to learn the command stand (from a sitting position).

I have my eye on that treat in your hand...

 I think he's getting better on the lead, although there are times he doesn't seem to quite understand that walks are for walking, not for sitting, lying down or chewing his lead (or my legs, which clearly seem tempting at times!).

Yes, I'm gorgeous!

He likes people very much.  Too much, probably, because he pulls to go towards people whenever he's out - he does have to learn that he can't get attention from everyone he meets!  It's hard, because most people want to stroke him and he just wants to be stroked.

Lying down for a treat - I like that idea!

Over to you now...how has your week been? What have you been making?
