Hi Everyone, had yesterday and today off of work and spent yestereday wedding dress hunting with my daughter it was a lovely day but I am confused.com she tried on 18 dresses and looked lovely in all of them we managed to narrow it down to 4 then we will go out with my other daughter see the 4 again plus visit one more shop, needless to say everything she had in her mind that she wanted went out the window lol:)

Today here the weather has been rainy (for a change) but managed to do a little gardening but was waiting for the grass to dry before cutting it but no luck hopefully tomorrow.

I might of mentioned that my best friend had to have her lovely cat Rosie put down two weeks ago she was a lovely old cat with what we called her Hitler tash which made her look a bit cross. Well as the weather has been dire I did a mosaic on a stepping stone for Jenny to put in her garden.

Rosie taken a few weeks back

Rosie mosaic to go in Jenny’s garden

Hope the sunshines for everyone soon, got friends round on Sat eve was hoping to sit in the garden………..keep your fingers crossed!

how lovely of you to make the mosaic of Rosie.
i feel for you in the wedding dress department but it has to right.....when is the wedding?

Hi Debbie..
RIP little Rosie. So sad when a pet dies....
but she'll be remembered fondly with the help of the lovely mosaic.

Weather is crazy here, but thankfully none of the recent flooding affecting some parts of the UK. I feel so sorry for those people inunundated with water.
I wrote a poem blog about the crazy weather .. Lol.

Oh heck I remember the wedding dress hunting :o) it was never ending, in the end we ended up with something that was never ever imagined or dreamt of: but well worth the hunting, and all the leg work around the shops and all those fitting rooms lol. ah well only one left to go - hopefully not too soon though. lol.
ps and the hat trying on for the m of the b. and all the giggling that went with it, happy days really.:o) :o)

Love the mosaic very good work there. :o)

That is lovely, you have so captured her eyes and nose and I love the blue back ground.

29 Jun, 2012

 

Thanks everyone so lovely to hear from everyone, thanks Lulu x

29 Jun, 2012

 

You clever mosaicist you! x

29 Jun, 2012

 

Ah Denise so lovely to hear from you glad you like it missed hearing from you:0 xxxx

29 Jun, 2012

 

Hi Lulu not sure it is my best but it was from the heart didn't have a good photo to go from but it sort of captured Rosie, Jenny's daughter is an artist and managed to paint a picture really well of Rosie, her name is emily stracey look her up on the net she does really well with her ceramics but her posters are doing the best at the mo:)x

29 Jun, 2012

 

The mosaic is amazing. Blows my mind how anybody can do that. Easy to see why Rosie's nickname was Hitler - the likeness is quite uncanny isn't it? Do tell your friend how we are all sympathising with her loss - it takes a bit of getting used to - we lost ours only a few weeks ago.

29 Jun, 2012

 

Thanks SG I will tell her about six months ago she got two kittens I know they don't replace Rosie but it helps not to have an empty house.

30 Jun, 2012

 

Wow Deb, another great job!!! STOP gifting these....you make me look bad ;)))
Enjoy this great time with your daughter :)))

30 Jun, 2012

 

I can see that this mosaic is from the heart, and I can also see that it is wonderful .. excellent ..
Captures the essence and character which is evident in Rosie's photo.

Good to know that Jenny now has two kittens.
As you say, you can't replace a pet, but new arrivals find their own places in your heart. :o)

30 Jun, 2012

 

Thanks Lil the difference is your mosaic's are your business and mine are a hobby so don't feel bad:)x Thanks TT they are funny when I go round for a dinner every so often one of Jenny's guests will shout ouch cos the kittens are climbing up your legs and scratching you :)

30 Jun, 2012

 

Lol. Kittens just making guests feel welcome ;o)

30 Jun, 2012

 

I've given 2 away recently, one was a real fave, that little gold and glass incense holder!

30 Jun, 2012

 

I know they are lovely TT:))) I love that incense holder and I love giving presents:)

30 Jun, 2012

 

The mosaic is brilliant !
What does Rosie think of it lol ?

1 Jul, 2012

 

Glad your daughter is happy now :) Sarah isnt doing too well. :(

Hi Hywel, Rosie passed away a few weeks ago hence the mosaic in her memory:( Oh Pixi not good about your daughter when Lisa was bad I had to go to the doctors in the end with her and they put her on mild anti depressants which did help, such a terrible feeling seeing your children upset I feel for you both x

1 Jul, 2012

 

Oh I'm sorry to hear that Nana d :o( I missed that bit of the blog - tired eyes today ...
She was a beautiful cat. Nice that you've made a mosaic to remember her by.

1 Jul, 2012

 

No worries Hywel, another friend had to have her cat put to sleep yesterday she is so upset and my friend in USA lost her rescue dog last week seems to be one thing after another:(

1 Jul, 2012

 

It's a terrible time when something like that happens.
:o( So sorry to hear it all ....

1 Jul, 2012

 

great pressie for your friend nana, sorry about her cat, very sad,
:o(
