Antrim has a new bed!!!

Well you saw on a previous post that poor Antrim was trying to take over Charlie's bed but just didn't fit...... one of my friends happened to feel sorry for him and had a couple of dog beds at her house and gave them to Antrim. He is soooo happy now and just loves cuddling up in them . One is in the living room and the other at the foot of my bed. Nacho also likes the one in the living room especially when the sun is shining on it. Don't worry though, when Antrim wants to lay there he just barks at Nacho and she moves......LOL...
A big thankyou to Gloria......
love Antrim

book your appointment now

Ok folks... Ladies and Gentlemen
Take time out of your busy schedules and book your appointment for a manicure or pedicure today. Remember if you want to keep on walking you must take care of your feet.
What would be nicer than a nice warm foot soak, trimmed nails and finish with a nice leg and foot massage while you sip on a fresh coffee or tea??? Maybe a gift certificate ??

Dog Hair Hat

I just finished this hat for a customer. It is a birthday present for her Father . She sent me his faithful companion's dog hair which I spun and made into this hat. Hope he likes it and he will certainly be surprised with this unique gift.

Silly Antrim

Poor Charlie has been kicked out of his bed. Antrim has taken over. I can't believe he actually thinks he can fit.

Time Change

Don't forget to change your clocks back one hour. Charlie wasn't taking the time change well and told me to call him when it was "really " 10:00........LOL

rug hooking

Last Monday we had the pleasure to have Bea Grant show us different finishing techniques for our hooked rugs. Here are some of our samples.

Yippi!!!

Good news folks. I have found a furever home for Angelo. His new parents picked him up on Friday and I just called them and everything is going well. Best wishes to Angelo and thanks to everyone who helped me find him his new home..... especially Pauline.

Need a good home please!

I am fostering a cat right now that needs a good home . His name is Angelo and he is a big orange cat who is very affectionate. He is fixed , declawed , very clean and an indoor cat. He is up to date with his shots and has been very well looked after. He is 8 years old. His owner had to go to a retirement home and couldn't take him. I couldn't see him going to the humane society and offered to foster him. He is a wonderful boy and deserves a wonderful furever home. Please call me if you know of anyone who would like to give him a home.

I don't want to go to bed yet!

So Friday night I was tired and wanted to go to bed early. I read my book for a bit and then lights out. That didn't stop my Charlie Boy....... he wasn't ready to go to bed. I heard this noise going on and turned on the light and there he was up on the top of my door !! My can he jump. I don't know what possessed him to go up there but it was funny. Makes me wonder what goes on when I'm not home eh??? LOL...

My dyeing homework

Some of you know I am in my final year of the OHS spinning certificate homework......YIPPI...
Yesturday I completed my dyeing portion and am very happy with the results. We were to choose a picture and use 3 different dyeing techniques while creating colours from the picture. You also had to have an end use for your yarn which I stated a nice shawl would be perfect and made a mini sample to go with my dyeing. I was happy as I feel my colours were successful in matching with my chosen picture. One more step closer to finishing my homework!!

Best Friends and a Special Birthday Girl

Although we couldn't celebrate Joan's birthday on her real day we did have such fun surprising her with a special lunch at my house. Most of us were able to make it and we had such fun. We are such a thick bunch of friends and drop everything when possible to be together. This was one of those days. Happy Birthday Joan and many many more.
cheers from
The Winsome Women!!

Fun Days

Last week I had my group of Winsome Women friends come for a day of fun..... We all brought our stuff to work on as in knitting, spinning, rug hooking, and books to share. Everyone brought their lunch and I provided yummy goodies and tea and coffee all day. In between working on their projects a few ladies enjoyed a wonderful relaxing pedicure. Can you think of any better way to spend a day???? So get your group together and give me a call and book your Fun Day.

Bridgewater Retreat

Every year in August we get a gang of fibre people together and go for a weekend to Bridgewater Retreat just north of Tweed. We have anywhere between 12 to 24 girls come for a great fun weekend of just doing whatever you want!!! We have lots of laughs, stories to tell, ideas to share, and just letting your hair down and waiting for the dinner bell to ring for our meals.....oh yes , 3 days of Heaven.....LOL...
This year Colleen shared her talents and showed us how to paint silk scarves. I decided to try my hand at it and was pleased with my scarf.
Here are some pics from our weekend.
cheers

Fun Time with Friends

Why not try something different with your friends. Consider coming for the day with your spinning wheels, rug hooking, or knitting and relax in my family room while taking turns having a pedicure!
I will supply the muffins, coffee, tea and lunch. Sit back and have fun for the day.
$40 each with a minimum of 5 fun people. So gather your friends and give me a call to book your day.

Freedom 55

Well my girls and I have talked about getting "feather "tattoo's for years and I finally did it. I had a fabulous bonding weekend with Abby and Jessica and we got them done.
Here is mine......it's on the outside of my left ankle. One grand feather for each of my dear daughters.

So Busy

Well folks
Sorry to let you down and haven't been blogging lately but I will soon be back on track.
For starters I sold my farm and moved to Campbellford. I just love being in town and the neighbours are all great . I haven't finished unpacking and still tripping over boxes as I spent the last 8 days at Loyalist College in Belleville taking my last classes for my OHS spinning certificate. It has been a long 6 year course and I have tons of homework that will be the last in March to hand in.......get out the champagne in March!!! Meanwhile I am also trying to scramble and get my Manicure and Pedicure business up and running from my home. Antrim is adjusting to town life but the cats are not happy with being housebound... LOL..
So pics will come soon and more updates... I promise
Have a great day folks and enjoy every wonderful moment....
cheers

On The Move and New Beginnings

Well, while in Mexico my country house sold. Closing is June 23....YIKES!.... It's coming up fast and I haven't found a house yet in Campbellford. It's a tough one as I have a few demands for my new house.....like room for my fibre and studio and it has to be "Collie friendly" which means not many stairs and a nice back yard that can be fenced. Not sure how my Antrim is going to like town life...... but he will have to get use to it. I wonder what he will do when he sees his first squirrel...... we haven't got them here at Antrimlea as we have too many predators that take care of them.
Stay tuned and if you hear of a nice place let me know eh??
