Doggy walks at Poole Quay and Baiter

Okay you've got me! I'm hoarding posts again ;) I had gotten good at updating once a week, but have been very naughty last week and neglected to update! For a rare few days we had some January sunshine and I managed to persuade the littlest pup to come out for a walk to Baiter.

Cookie is a lot more outgoing then her big sister, she only has to hear the word walk and she is off to fetch her lead. Boo on the other hand will hide under the sofa until she is quite sure there is no risk she will be made to attend the doggy frolics.

My poor little Cookie is not as elegant and sleek as Boo, add to this a black gingham harness and everyone is convinced she is a little boy :(

We had lots of fun on our walk, and Cookie even had a go at chasing the birds - well until she realized they could fly ;)

Very rare to see Baiter this empty on a sunny day - although it was only a few degrees out

Views towards the lovely Whitecliff

Across the water is Brownsea Island

Cookie being very well behaved and keeping close by - she doesn't seem to understand that she has a retractable lead so could run ahead

I love this little wooded area

The recent rainfall had made some parts of Baiter into mini lakes, had to stop the Cookie Monster from wading through

Back from our walk and Cookie is angling for a pick up and a cuddle, Boo decides to find out about the walk by sniffing her sisters butt!

We had just started the routine of just me and Cookie spending some quality time together on a walk (Boo likes to play Mummy and nit picks at Cookie constantly), but sadly Cookie has managed to dislocate her hind leg. She managed to do this to the opposite leg in September and had to have corrective surgery, for which she took a while to recover. Last Thursday she had the same operation carried out on the other leg and is now waiting to have stitches removed.

Although she is recovering well she is having to be crated and is not a happy bunny! We have already had a few heart in the mouth moments when she has escaped and decided to lunge onto the sofa or our bed. To give a little perspective, Cookie and Boo are about 20cms tall when stood - our couch is about 2 foot off the ground and the bed is 2 and a half. Quite a leap for an injured pup!

I miss my walking buddy - 2013 is supposed to be about me getting healthy. I have a fitbit (posh pedometer) that tells me I must walk at least 10,000 steps a day - Cookie was helping me to achieve this goal. Now I'm having to resort to the treadmill at the gym, a lot less fun!

Replacement Blades for the Silhouette Cameo - UK users

From the moment I purchased my Silhouette Cameo I was in love. The only way I could justify the cost was to start up a business , the only problem with this was the cost of the blades. I was getting through a blade every few weeks, at just under £16.00 (including postage) for a single blade it was getting very expensive. I knew that once business picked up I was going to either have to increase prices (never a good idea for new businesses) or take a big knock in profits. The only solution I could see was be to try and find a cheaper solution to the blades. I was first made aware of using disposable blades by Ligaya's Creativity Zone . She had had success with an aluminium (CB09) Blade Holder. This blog was invaluable for advice on the different angled blades available and suppliers of the CB09 Blade Holder. The only drawbacks were the seller was based in Asia (have been stung for import taxes before, and it is a hefty amount) and there were reports that the holder act

Glitter Wine Glasses and Mugs DIY - Dishwasher safe too! UK

So I made a vow this year to do more crafts that were for me, rather than geared towards selling in the shop. When I cam across this picture on pinterest, my heart literally swooned <3 courtesy of whitehouseblackshutters blog It is pointless, something only a gal would understand, but I needed one! The blog mentions that in order to make the glitter mug dishwasher safe, you need to use Martha Stewart Decoupage glue - what followed was an epic weekend long search to find a supplier in the UK I was frustrated beyond belief, and about to bite the bullet and import it from the US (to hell with the import tax, I NEEDED it!) when I stumbled across a site called emerald crafts and they had one bottle left in stock. It was mine! So once it arrived, I gathered up all my supplies and set to work!

Superdrug Colour Rewind - Hair Dye Remover Review - Part One

I started dying my hair at the grand old age of 15 - fast forward to 12 years later and my hair has become a dried out mop of horror. I started with black - I loved Marilyn Manson and Slipknot and needed the world to view my hair as an extension of my sheer awesomeness! This phase lasted until I was about 19; almost 4 years of the darkest of darks layered over my hair. I alternated between black, black-blue, black-purple and even tried dip dyed black and red. At 19 I wanted a change and decide to bleach it so I could dye it red - after an initial day of ginger (luckily I was favouring the sporty baseball cap in this period) I switched to a dark red. Next came a few years of alternating between different shades of red and then various browns. When we started trying for a baby in 2010 I was worried that the constant dying of my hair whilst pregnant could cause development issues - I went to a professional hair dresser and had blonde highlights put through my then dark brown
