Now, however, I get to play with the buttons at Christine's. There are two hat boxes filled with tubes of teddy bears, ducks, elephants, cars, apples etc. When we have small people in they are often fascinated by all the shapes, and parents can shop in peace while they are entertained. One young lady this morning even wanted to match the buttons with wool!
Caroline and Maureen are working hard on the Marie Curie things-to-sell. I took some photos with my camera this morning but can't get them on to the computer; you'll have to wait until tomorrow for them. I've 'borrowed' from Caroline today.
This is one of her gingerbread men. Notice the fat tummy, smart bow tie and happy smile: he knows he won't be eaten. My favourites are the jelly babies, though Caroline has refused to leave off body parts. (Which bit do you eat first?)
Today I promised to introduce the dogs. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of Max, who lives with Phil. He's a really soft dog, wants loving all the time. Below is Caroline's dog Bailey. He's searching for frogs, but when there were a lot in the street he was terrified! He's very handsome.
And you remember I told you about Caroline dyeing wool? This is Bailey destroying her special dyeing bowl!
I love this photo!
And then there's Fig. You've heard of Venus rising from the foam, not a hair out of place, not a drop of water on her pearly skin?

This is Fig emerging from the sea at Saltburn. Sodden. She's a dog with attitude. Dress her in bandannas or pretty jumpers? You have to be joking.
Today is the last day of the main rugby season, with play-offs to come. Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigers!
And it's Bank Holiday weekend and I'd love to spend it crocheting. Unfortunately the garden needs A LOT of attention (and money) spent on it, so when you lie in bed late you can think of me grubbing up weeds.
Today being Saturday, Sarah and Jess were there already when I arrived. It's always good - the shop is filled with laughter. Next Saturday I'll introduce you to them.
