First love

Long time no craft... Last week no work because of snow and a good excuse to get my pergamano stuff out.  It has been packed away for so long thought it was time it got a good dust down... Pergamano was and remains my first love.  It is so time consuming but so satisfying to actuall finish a piece.. This card took 2 days to complete from start to finish... Working on it every available spare minute... Think it is one of the best and nicest pieces I have ever done... 
Week off next week, so maybe will get some more pieces done..

Well, have has nearly a week off work due to snow. Hoping it will be back to normal for Monday.
Dogs have loved it.. First time snow for Merlin.. And looking in my pics folder it snowed this time in Feb last year... Didn't last as long though or cause so much havoc...
Just waiting for the better weather so we can get pup housetrained.... He asks to go outside with Tommy and then he comes in to do his business.. lol....
We got to get it right sometime....

HELP

Beginning to wonder what we have done... This new pup is a real live wire and not giving Tommy much peace at all.... He is settling slowly at nights and we can leave him in his bed for short periods in the day... That way I get some me time... In a couple of weeks I am hoping that this will be just a dim memory... lol..

New pup


Firstly, hope  everyone has had a good Christmas.... Seems to have flown by this year.. After a busy day yesterday... Cooking and eating and drinking, we are having quiet time today... Don't need anything at the shops thank goodness..Might do a little bit of scrapbooking later... Have some very special pictures to scrapbook this year....  One of them here.. lol.  
Had the best Christmas present ever.. A friend for Tommy.. So far so good.  Have had a few sleepless nights... and last night had the bright idea (or Jim did) of putting one of my tops with my scent on it in his bed... It worked... Had a quiet night..
Right now New pup, called Merlin... Kennel name Tycadnol Merlin and it seems to fit him somehow.. anyway, right now he is curled up under my computer chair.. Worn himself out chasing Tommy around the house and learning how to climb stairs... 
Have still got a week off before having to go back to work so hopefully we will be in some sort of routine with him by then,,,,,xxxxx
