Sad News

Stiggy my dog, whom I named my blog after, passed away today

He was taken ill on Thursday and seemed to be doing well
Then today he took a turn for the worse and we had to make the hard decision to let him go
He was a wonderful dog, so good natured that even in pain he never grumbled

My blog title will remind me of the 9.5 years of fun and happiness we had
 after someone left him tied to gate
Everyone who met him thought he as a girl and only about 2 years old
So he became known round the village as the only gay dog in the village
after the comedy show Little Britain
The heartache now is nothing to all the joy we had with him

God Bless you Stiggy and RIP

Oh Nicky...I'm so so sorry. With tears in my eyes and a heavy heart and me not being very good with words for these kinds of moments, it's so important to let you know how sorry I am for your lost. Yes, you have wonderful memories forever and you have gave him your love and blessings to go in peace and no longer suffer. Again Nicky, I'm so sorry.

Oh Nicky - what a lovely tribute to Stiggy and how positive to think of the happy times. He was a beauty from the photograph, and a smile about being the only gay dog in the village :) Hugs from me too, Di xx

No Cards But A Promarker Storage Project!

Sorry not a card but I have been working on this, hopefully some cards soon. Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in You can find it HERE  but there are many others out there Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size! Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD! I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
