our little Pepper cat

some of you may know that we adopted Pepper last september.  She'd been abandoned by her previous owners who left her behind when they moved.  A neighbour took pity on her and she was taken to the local rescue centre to be rehomed.
She's a lovely, affectionate cat - but likes to be able to see us or be near us most of the time.  Sometimes she's more like a dog than a cat - she loves playing chase with Nick in the garden.  He also drags a twig across the grass which she chases, and then picks up in her mouth & carries away.

She likes to get a few zzz's in - like all cats
on the sofa
or my work chair
but the laptop is her favourite place. 
She knows she's not allowed on it though and resists all attempts to move her

She likes "helping" me to arrange the jewellery to be photographed

we think she was an indoor cat in her previous life as she didn't know how to climb trees or fences when she first came to live with us

but she does now....   Trees = birds = yummy!

I love you lots like Jelly Tots - for Mothers Day

I was asked to make another personalised jelly tot heart bag charm recently.  The words I was asked to include must have been a private message or joke so I hope the recipient likes it - she's got a lovely boyfriend to go to all that trouble.
As I had to mix up a batch of resin I decided to make some more jelly tot heart bag charms (or keyrings) but with the word Mum or Mummy for Mothers Day

I didn't want to leave out Nana so made one for her too.  They've been listed in my GroovyCart shop today.

Folksy Valentinos - Animals

I've fallen off the Folksy Valentinos wagon - again!  I wonder if I'll ever actually be able to list one item every day for a whole month.  I've had lots of orders on my GroovyCart shop - not complaining - but it's kept me busy.

I'm supposed to be photographing jewellery to be listed on the new look Wow Thank You website when it launches at the end of the week but the light is so bad - I'll have to try again tomorrow.

So.....  I've decided to blog about some of the gorgeous items being listed by my fellow (and better disciplined) Folksy Valentino Folk and have chosed the theme   ANIMALS  well sort of - lol!

I love you lots.... like jelly tots


I love you lots.... like jelly tots



I hadn't heard that saying before until recently.   I was asked to make a personalised jelly tot heart bag charm for valentines day and posted a picture of it on a group I belong to on Facebook. 



It initiated a discussion and I found out about this saying "I love you lots... like jelly tots".




So as it's Valentines Day and I've got a selection of jewellery made with real jelly tot sweets for sale in my GroovyCart shop I though we'd have a jelly tot theme blog for Valentines Day



and for children...
