Sunday evening greetings Primrose lovelies! I’ve had a bit of a break over the weekend and not actually done any stitching, although I have looked through my stash and decided who to make next, I’ll tell you who tomorrow!
So, it’s been a pottering sort of day, and I can’t quite believe that I was sitting outside this afternoon in the warm sun, wearing a sundress, in October!!
Followed by an hour in the summerhouse, one of my special places, getting on with that jigsaw!
These three kept me company as they have done all my life!
The big bear is Peter, who was a gift from my grandparents when I was born (and as my mum said, strange I should call him Peter when I ended up marrying one!) The smaller bear is Little Ted, and the dog is Taffi.
The story behind him is that when I was about 4 and my brother was a baby we were visiting my grandparents in Barkingside (101 Tomswood Hill if I remember rightly) and my parents walked to the High Street and came home with a puppy and a kitten! We called the puppy Taffi, but sadly he became ill with distemper a few months later and the vet advised he be put to sleep. I remember that day, I didn’t cry or speak to anyone for several days until I went too fast on my shiny red tricycle and fell off and sobbed my heart out screaming I want my Taffi ….. so my parents bought me this little dog, and he’s been with me ever since. 🧡.
