Antigua needs urgent animal help

The rescue Many Tears Rescue who gave us Rupert my daughter’s trainee service dog and our 2 new dogs (story to follow once I get photos off iPad with a mallet!!!!!) is trying to fill a free shipping container to go to Antigua. Firms are all offering their services free to get these goods to the island. There is so much good will out there!

Things ordered on Amazon Prime immediately to go to their address will get there in time. We only have until 29th February.

You can read about how the founders’ holiday turned into a helping and fact finding mission just like my trip to Cyprus. (And 3 of our current dogs.)

I’m sorry to spring this on you with such short notice. Please help if you can. Prices begin at £3. The 4 rescues out there have very little and buying things there is costly as it’s an island so anything you can do, helps.

Thank you!

2019 pics will follow.

Forest and Makings

A baby quilt for my goddaughter's daughter born this month. After making the Splendid Sampler Quilt for a year in pink and greys, this was the last colour combination in the world I wanted to do, but those are the colours her mother said her room will be in. It has blue tit birds and cow parsley and bees on, so it suits August. A cover for her medical book with cone flowers on. They are in flower in the garden, so again suitable for August. These are the first wheel turned pots I have made! There was an entire day allowed in the pottery room and boy did I need it to learn the technique. Really proud of them. Everything survived the biscuit firing. They need painting in glazes next. Let me show you the Forest nearest the cottage. Crystal cobwebs with diamond dew drops. A spider's hole. Dead Men's Fingers funghi. Cow parsley. So many mushrooms appear overnight after the rain. This is a special very old beech tree I call the Shroomy Tree as so ma

Horace the Gargoyle and Cottage Makes

Image
 Horace the Gargoyle has an important job.  The hold the bag containing various bird foods. A Great Tit came in onto the bedroom window sill one morning so I used the bird fabric at the top, and Mary Engelbreit  garden fabric for the rest of the outside. I added a pocket to the inside just in case I want to use it when gardening in Spring. The pocket should be enough for seed packets. There has also been this make from a vintage piece of Diary of an Edwardian Lady "Wild Flowers." It covers the little practice amp, and goes with the curtains in the living room which also come from the Diary of an Edwardian Lady range. Da dar! Finished with a plain cream lining and a green dotty binding. The main amp will get the same treatment when the odd metre of the same fabric I tracked down, arrives. I am liking this going away from plastic bags in the cottage and trying to make it cosy and pretty for these colder months which we spend more indoors.

Work In Progress

Welcome to my first blog post here at Rowan Tree Cottage. Google Photos app is still trying to take all the pics from the iPad. We have been at the cottage for a year now so making things has been on a back burner while we tamed the garden and adapted to living in the forest. I hope to share the forest with you, some gallivanting about the area, a bit of history where I can, the garden and things I am making, in future posts. To old friends: welcome, have a cup of tea and a slice of cake or some home made lemonade as the sun is shining, and we will have a natter here throughout the year.
