one and only just begun...

dearest readers i must tell you

little olive is one today.

i asked her what she would like for her birthday,

she mentioned a thrift store glass with some yellow tulips would be peachy.

who was i to disappoint...

as i have mentioned before,

when little olive came to live at Mossy Shed

i was not convinced i needed a small doggie in my world.

however my children were.

life with little olive is not peachy every day.

she is a pesky little one

who likes to push the boundaries

on any given day.

but all that being said

she is funny

she loves her crocheted blankets,

she sleeps in a suitcase

and

she makes me smile every day with her little ways.

i don't think one can ask much more than that

from a little pesky four legged friend

i have high hopes that being a mature one year old will suit her well.

on another note

i will be gone for a few days.

nothing lovely or thrilling.

no rendezvous with Colin Firth or Johnny Depp...

alas i will be staying put.

for i have a CCSI issue i need to sort

"oooh Tif, what could that possibly be?" you exclaim

i know, doesn't it sound intriguing,

i was rather pleased with that little term...

however i would be more pleased if i didn't even have to come up with the term to explain my absence...

i have myself a

Crappity Crap Sewing Injury

which i must rest.

i am a fool to myself.

so now my neck and shoulders are seized up

causing me to look at the ground more than i care for.

for now the shop update will remain next friday

but may be lacking some what.

do not fret,

nor stay awake worrying about moi and my CCSI.

for i have comfort in knowing the secret location

of a Cadbury's caramel bar within the shed...

i am thinking this may help with

the shakes and the sweats

as i go cold turkey

from the

'ever so lovely, how will i cope without you by my side'

Miss Ethel

she wishes you a peachy few days and will return next week, perhaps several inches shorter ~ Tif
