Terribly sad for all concerned but perhaps an honourable way for a terrier like Scruff to go - in action.
I was only thinking to myself yesterday what I'd do when Edwyn goes, and came to the conclusion that the only way to cope would be to have a young scamp of a pup to keep my mind and hands occupied........but I do know lots of people feel so heartbroken it takes a while to persuade......
Tread Carefully
When I got home late on Thursday from work there was a message on my phone from Kerry Sister. I thought she sounded a little bit upset but it was really too late to ring (they keep early hours back West). I made something to eat and then wasted some time before checking my email and when I did...
A cup of tea and a slice of cake.....in John Lewis
Frosty
Over the past week there has been a little bit of an atmosphere in Titter of Wit Street. A certain froideur emanating from the bottom flat. Soda Farl is the same as usual. He continues to play music and sing loudly and out of tune at such a pitch that I can hear yowling noises coming up thr...
I share your shame.....I only have to tap the letter D in to google and up pops the DM..... Guilty pleasure indeed!
Middleagemum.com: The Side Column of Shame Part Two
We have moved to a new site. Do come and visit us! www.thewomensroomblog.com In our inbox this morning, after she had read Jane's fess-up post below, was this very funny response from one of our favourite readers, Sue. We persuaded her that it was too good a comment to not post (even though she ...
Happy Birthday Max! Sounds like his party will be a blast.
And what is it with this generation of teenagers - they all seem to be obsessed with Musicals! And they don't go just once! No, most you will find can discuss the merits of various different leads...Well that's the impression I get from those I know and am related to....
It sounds like Max's party will be quite a production, I hope he has a great day.
Happy 18th Birthday Max!
We have moved to a new site. Do come and visit us! www.thewomensroomblog.com Today's post is entirely about celebrating my nephew Max. He was born 18 years ago to my sister Sandy and her husband Paul; their first child. He turned out to have Down's Syndrome, which frightened the life out of ...
Yes! Hairdressers DO make me fidgety, and no matter if I ask for a 'casual' blow dry, they always seem to spend an age making my hair looking totally alien , and then I end up feigning a yes, that's lovely expression....
You see I do blow dry my hair. But I blow dry it upside down, then flip it all to the left, blow dry, flip it to the right, blow dry, and voila! It's done! And with volume. Not exactly a polished look, but it works for me....
Would love to dry this gadget though, but before spending £40....

What a fabulous kitchen! I love the waist high fire, such a great idea.
And the adorable Barney... a most cosy vantage point, no mistaking it's HIS chair....
Readers kitchens: Debora from Stoke Newington
We have moved to a new site. Do come and visit us! www.thewomensroomblog.com Who: Debora Robertson, food writer Where: Stoke Newington, London What do you do in your kitchen and with who? We lived in our house for about four years before we built our kitchen and I'm glad we did, even though ...
Oh dear! That looks like a very dangerous place indeed........
We love : Liberty's new stationery department
We have moved to a new site. Do come and visit us! www.thewomensroomblog.com We may have mentioned before how much we LOVE all things stationery connected. Liberty opened its new stationery department yesterday and TWR (along with our mate Francesca) were the first visitors (Laurence Llewelyn-...
How rotten! How fortunate you're not a convicted litter dropper, as who knows what kind of interrogation that might have led to.....
But it is a horrible thing to have to deal with and leaves one feeling quite shaken, and home not quite the sanctuary it once was in my experience.
Well, all this bad luck really ought to be making way for something truly wonderful to happen......
Could Things Get Any Worse?
The Surly Niece and I went out last night to a gig called True Stories Told Live. It was highly entertaining and definitely worth a post of its own. At London Bridge station I switched on my mobile phone and found a message from Traybake asking me to ring him as soon as I got the message. I k...
The linea stem pieces are my favourite and I love the turned wooden lids, fab!
Definately one for the Christmas list. Infact I think the easiest thing to do is just send family a link to your blog........
We love: Orla Kiely kitchenware
We have moved to a new site. Do come and visit us! www.thewomensroomblog.com The Orla Kiely range just keeps getting better and their latest addition is definitely going on our Christmas list. If you grew up in the 70's you will love the Hornsea potteryesque shapes, complete with wooden lids. ...
I have managed to find you on your 2nd birthday - congratulations on a fantastic site!

So pleased to have found you - have a very Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday to us
We have moved to a new site. Do come and visit us! www.thewomensroomblog.com We can't quite believe it, but we are two years old today. It really does feel like five minutes since Amanda and I were hatching a plan to come up with a blog to appeal to women like us. We wanted to focus on the thi...
I too am am getting more confused about what age I am, so I laughed out loud when you summed it up so eloquently.
And I love your Mum's dresser, the mint green walls and lovely cream painted door.
Love to you both.
When I Am Old And Grey
My Mum's Dresser Originally uploaded by ganchingabz Once again I am in Ireland doing a shift of looking after my mother. We spend the days mostly in the sitting room, my mum reading, knitting and doing the Irish News crossword, me idling on the sofa, pretending I'm working on my laptop and oc...
Love it! Want one!
in process...
Update June 2012: This bag design has been finalized and you can see it here. Something I'm working on. Not ready for production but photo-worthy. If you'd like this one, grab it at the w7 event this weekend..... see below.
I wish I could make it, it looks like a really great venue.
London is a little far away and all the airports are closed today because of volcanic ash in the air!!
Have fun!
If you're in Minneapolis+St.Paul, you should check...
If you're in Minneapolis+St.Paul, you should check out the w7 event this weekend on West 7th Street in St. Paul. It is a 3-day event every month that highlights a carefully chosen group of local artists/craftspeople. This month, the Thursday night party is helping launch the new line of Nel...
Thank you for such a useful post. You are a mine of information and an inspiration!
I love it that you are so open and generous with your knowledge.
How did you know? HTML and CSS elicit a spontaneous brain shut down BUT I know I can't avoid it forever - unfortunately!

the business of being small - get your things online
It often happens that anytime I tell someone I got my start on Etsy they say, "I've been thinking of starting my own shop there too.". I always say... yes. Go now. Get started. Now. In my opinion, Etsy is the best place to start your handmade venture for a few reasons but most importantly bec...
It is so lovely to read this!
I've found you by a roundabout way, and am loving everything I read and see.
You have put into words so much I can relate to: am I furniture designer? or am I 'just' someone who sews all day.... Not knowing what to call myself and marry the two worlds.
It is so helpful to read this, as I'm sure it is for so many people.
Perhaps I should put into words my particular storey.....
Thanks for the lift you have given me x
From a reader:
Angie, I read about you in the Times article a few weeks ago, and just read it again in a frustrated moment at work. I'm also an architect(ish - I'm testing for my license right now), and am in the midwest, so of course your story resonated with me. I'm at a firm that was large, and is now m...
I love "The business of being Small" idea, and feel I could benefit a great deal from your experience!
I trained as a furniture designer, worked in architectural practices and am now establishing my own small business and back to the symbiotic relationship of designing and making.
Must be why I was attracted to your lovely products and beautifully designed blog and shop!
I look forward to reading more....

The business of being Small
I attended my first ever entrepreneurial meeting a few weeks ago (ok, it was the second one but the first one was so awful/awkward/useless/white-collar it doesn't count). This was a casual group of people, mostly women, mostly in my age range and it appears that even though we are not all i...
