Bex, Joe, Kara and Gracie popped over this afternoon.


They have other family staying this Christmas including another cocker spaniel, Oscar ... I think Gracie is quite exhausted ... Dilly and her gave each other a lovely hello (it has only been a couple of days!) and then promptly fell asleep under the table!

well we are back in Cornwall for Christmas


Dilly seems to have spent the last few days cuddling Luke :)
She has also enjoyed re-discovering her old haunts and meeting up with some doggy-friends. She is one happy doggy :)

Dilly is loving the snow ...


the snow sticks to her in clumps and its quite hard to get off ... but she does enjoy it :)

when she comes back in I tuck her up and keep her warm!

Some people love it ~ some people hate it! I know it can be dangerous when driving on, but I am one who loves it ... especially when it is fresh with no footprints in it. It started last night and by the morning our world was white. It was crazy-pup's first experience of snow and she LOVED it ... just wanted to be out in it all the time ... Dilly-dog is a fan too, so it was lovely to watch them play.
I braved it myself this afternoon to go to the Post Office ... it was so lovely on the way home, the sky was a beautiful peachy colour and it made the snow look magical.

If the snow is making you feel Christmassy ... you can see my winter goodies in my shop on Folksy ...

Every evening Gracie and Dilly wait for my brother Joe to come home .... he isn't really Dilly's daddy, he is Gracie's but Dilly is borrowing him for a while ...


they always know when he is due home, and wait for him by the back door while he puts the car away ... its so sweet that they never tire of giving him such a welcome!

I know I say this all the time, but where is it going? .... only a few weeks to Christmas already! I seem to have spent all my time of the last month packing up goodies and posting them (this is good ~ not complaining, but I am beginning to wonder if I am coming or going!) Sadly this means that I haven't had much time to make & design new jewellery and gifts, but I have lots of ideas and can't wait to start them in the New Year :)
This is Dilly-dog looking after some of the post while we get the rest of it done ... she loves walking to the Post Office as she is good friends with the lady who works there!

I hope everyone is having a lovely run-up to Christmas and feeling Christmassy ... We have been playing Christmas music at The Butterfly Factory for a couple of months now so are feeling very festive! (A couple of months you say! ... Yep, my little elf helper ~ my sister-in-law LOVES Christmas and so we started in October!)

Don't forget if you have any presents still to get our eBay shop is full as well as our online shop & Folksy shop!

Merry Christmas everyone and although it is lovely to give gifts to people, remember that the important thing is to spend time with and tell the people that we love that we love them xx

I cut myself a fringe today ... and then did a photo shoot with my laptop ... what do you think??







I'm quite liking it ... makes me look very different ... keep catching myself in the mirror!
