a vissit from skillen

notice that rosey the sculpture didnt mind holding skillens lighter lol . these were all takebn over the weekend . i wasnt sure which dogs the 2 of them wanted to take . im sure all of them for lynda and skillen had a soft spot for young sid i do believe .

i always like seeing your art work in any of the media forms. Glad you had a good day Leigh.

The Leopard in the tree is awesome! glad you had a lovely weekend

oh bet your gonna miss them nosey,but its nice to know you found a great home for the pup,i hope you know its your fault i have a pooping machine in the house now,if i hadnt shown the teen your pups i could have got by with another kitten lol,i have to say she is a delight tho if not a bit weird like the teen,and i love your mushrooms wish you lived near here ,you should set up a stall and sell them im sure they would sell like hotcakes,chris

thank you so much yes it was hard getting new homes but there great homes id be selfish to want anything else for them realy . it was a great time .
as for ladybug i dont remember putting your arm up ya back and making you get a pooping machine lol unlike your daughter it seams . anyway you will thank me one day now youve seen the light lol .youl have hundreds of dogs before you know it lol .take care bye for now .

i couldnt just keep making mushrooms though i do like them . ive made to many already .ive got 10 in my garden and ive made 10 others big and small. i realy need a challange ie a change and mushrooms know longer are realy . im planning a full size bull girraffe in my garden looking like its eating out of my acer tree i think . i dont know how im going to do it just yet but i think thats what im going to build next .i mite build actualy a toadstool seat and table area next to my pond actualy but i think that will be it .anyway thanx anyway bye for now .

Great pics,Leigh,and the puppies are so adorable.I love the pup looking up at the camera,and the one on the travel bag...made me a bit sad,but I know they have good homes to go to..The Jaguar is amazing,and think a Giraffe would be too...lots of thinking to do there,Leigh.! Nice to see skillen and her friend Linda,looks like you are really good friends...nice. :o)).

Fab Blog as usual Np. Love the photos and the Dogs, especially the English Springer. Got one of those myself, but he's not in good health. I too have a new pooping machine. She arrived last night. Granddaughter has named her Mally (as in Sally Mally) from the childrens TV progamme. She's a Welsh Springer. :o))

those puppies have grown so much and look adorable I love the animals too especially the big cat on the tree... and the mushrooms .....:0)

Wow! Looks, like you all had a wonderful day?..Did they take 1 of the 2 in the pic Np? Showing us,them, cuddled up together asleep...does that now mean you have 1 left? Loved your Sculptures Weird, but Wonderful...
Loved all your pics especially, the 1 with all the Poppies around you..
It was nice seeing a pic of Skillen & friend...Nice Blog Np

Great blog as usual NP i'm pleased the pups have gone to good homes and everyone is happy.Happy ending.

what about a dragon or hydra and you need toads for the toadstooles,i always wanted a garden with surprises.or how about a garden path made like a giant snake,i thought about that the other day,maybe made of broken crockery as im finding a lot in the garden,what do you think,and yes im already thinking of another poop machine,i did like your pups but im not sure about the breed as someone once told me about skin complaints with them,hey lindalooloo welcome to the club,i like the name too,chris

we are realy good friends bloomer . me and skillen hit it of strate away . im going to glasgow next year for my 50,th birthday ish as it goes .
sorry to here about your springer looloo my jerry as in jerry springer lol is 12 and still can walk for ever . as it goes i think that is a stunning picture of him infact id say one of the best ones ive got . my pups are all going to a new home thow i rehomed a pug +chawowa i had to a lovley home but my 1 eyed sid must have got to her before she went so im getting 2 pups back in 5 weeks .he was desexed to . ill be rehoming them to but if i cant ill keep them.
well as you can see above im getting 2 seven eighths pug and one eighth chawowas in 5 weeks . sharpeis sometimes get skin problems and can look a bit mangey after giving birth or on moults but there not realy any worse than most dogs .the wrinkles arnt tight like the one behind sids nose which i have to clean out all the time . all the sharpei pups have gone anyway . one to my mum for being there for me .
im glad you all like my blog take care bye for now xx .
ps yes a snake would be nice it could also be the edging to a slightly raised lawn or pond etc . id like to do a dragon chimnea made of copper and have the mouth as the chimney part as at night it does spit sparks .

I love all your work you do with wood and your dogs + your hair style lol
My Husband works with wood, he once was a cabinet maker in Wales and used to make Welsh Dressers, proper one's not machine made ones, when his Wife was alive he kept trying to make her one but kept selling um before she got it. Do you show your work to people if they want to come and look at them as Barry & I maybe taking our caravan to Norfork for a week this year, we stayed in Swaffham once an liked it there the camp had a Tank at the entrance, you may know of it. :o))))

i do have an open garden in june for charity but if you just give me a bit of notice im sure i can let you have a look and i wont charge you much lol .i know the tank along the strate thats to comemerate the desert rats from world war 2 that trained right there .have you had a welsh dresser made yet lady essex lol .

my my they look like especialy long role ups fourth picture from the bottom lol .

love that lepod in the tree, fantasic looks sooooooooo real

thanx so much cristina xx

Ha! Welsh Dresser You must be joking, he is always doing for others LOL like my Daughters TV Cabinet he made for her.
But Joking apart, he has only had his Workshop for under a year, which my Brother built for him with our help, I have a Blog on here about the goings on ''Under'' ''My Garden in Summer 09'' and you can see I got stuck in too, I was 60yrs then LOL not bad for an olden LOL + I'm still not straight in the garden as it is all down to me. :o(( :o)))
