Have you heard of the Midas Touch? You know where everything he touches turns to GOLD. I am suffering a similar ailment but instead mine is Poo. That is right every crafting project I have been doing lately just ends up looking like shit 
. I have been pushing through this, kept trying just incase it turned out well, but alas it is just not working. Hence my lack of posting, I am just not willing to show the world the crap I have been creating 
. So I have decided that it must be time for me to down tools, have a couple weeks off from crafting and hopefully start creating some decent stuff.

With winter bitting at our heels I thought it was time to make K.D (aka Karate Dog) a new winter coat. I found the perfect pattern at my local material shop to make him. Because greyhounds are such skinny dogs they need to have a jacket on to help them stay warm. So here is K.D with his jumpsuit on.
I think he looks cute, but he does not seem too impressed .
Ever thought about getting a greyhound as a pet? I highly recommend them. K.D is the most docile amd gentle creature. He is just like a lap dog, just 10 times bigger. K.D lives happily beside our two cats, Sox & Taffy and 3 silkie chickens Mario (has gender confusion:)), Rocky & Gingy. Though there is a waiting list if you want a cat friendly greyhound. Another great reason to get a greyhound as a pet is to save their lives. Mostly in the greyhound racing industry once a greyhound is deemed ‘unviable’ they get a bullet to the head. Such a shame to have that happen to these beautiful and loving animals.
The GAP (Greyhound Adoption Program) fosters greyhound, access the hounds suitability to live in a loving home and does some basic training. Then match the dogs with a suitable family. Click here for the GAP program in Victoria Australia or google for one in your state / country.

Hello,
Tomorrow at my sons kindergarten I will be making this card with 22 preschoolers. I have made it super simple so the kids can have fun having a go with my sizzix running through their choice of embossing folder. Next I will get them to draw a picture on the inside and that will be the kinder kids Mothers Day card done – Wish me Luck .
I pre-made the heart emblishments using my Carl Heart Punch. Next I have used red Kinder Glitz to make it look sparkly. Hope the kids will enjoy making this card.
Flower: Kaiser Craft
Punch: Carl
Glitter: Derivan – Kinder Glitz, Red
