We are all now taken over by Google Friends the thingy around our used to be simple Follow box. Now my Avatar is different (from somewhere else) and I am really annoyed. When I follow someone they don't get my Blogger avatar anymore.
Anyone know how to sort this out. It really hacks me off, these New and Wonderful Ideas that Make life a Pain in the A**.
Rant over. Please read the GOOD NEWS about Danny the eyelidless kitten below and put my whinge in prespective.

Danny, the kitten with no eyelids. A positive report!!
Regular readers will remember my post some time ago about Danny the kitten born with no eyelids (see here for pic and report) and his mum and dad's refusal to give up hope that he could be given hope and the chance of a healthy life WITH eyelids.
Here is the HOT NEWS - just in. So if any of you gave - this will lift your spirits!!
Dear Marjorie,
I am sending you this message because yesterday Danny had the long awaited operation on his eyelids. The vet was able to create two new upper eyelids for Danny by taking skin grafts from beneath his lower eyelids and stitching them in place above the eyes. The vet said she was very pleased with how the operation went.
Danny will need to go back to the vet in two weeks time to check on his healing progress. Then in four weeks, he will have cryotherapy which will freeze the hair follicles around the eyes and prevent any further irritation. The eyelids enable him to blink for the first time and this is obviously very important because it allows him to keep the surface of the eyes moist when they are open.
Already we can see that Danny is happier in himself. He is really able to see the world for the first time and is very excited. He wants to play with the other cats but we have to be careful to make sure the eyes are protected at this crucial stage.
I would like to thank you again on behalf of Danny for your support and generosity. Without your help, this tricky operation would not have been possible and Danny would have been consigned to a life of semi-darkness.
Warm Regards
Josef and Victoria

Mother's Day Art Doll
I love the little child charm on her bodice. It goes well with the Jacquard metallic painted dress she wears.
She was going to go up on ArtFire but The Vault, Plimmer Steps, Wellington needed her sooner!

This is So helpful...
I can have people buy things from my ArtFire shop without them having to check in - this is SO useful. No bother or fuss, just the possibility of a sale. Are you on ArtFire? You should find the code in your store section. Now if Etsy did something like that it would be amazing too!
Thankfully I only have the three shops (see side bars for all links). I would not cope with more as my stuff is that labour intensive.

Busy Bee Quilt
My quilt at the recent Sawmiller's Quilt Festival. I'm the blue and green one with the bee flying on it!
Project Wonderful
EDIT : OK I have the PW ad space up. Of you would like a really cheap ad just do what PW askes you to do and you will be welcome to a space. If it's popular I will add third square. After advice from Renovia I will be charging 10c! When I work out how to do it.....
I have applied for and received my ability to post Project Wonderful ads. However, as I am currently drowning is non-functioning software that I need to make my DVD's I just can't find time to get going on the stuff. My main problem is - now I have my shops ads on both sides, where on earth do I put the ads for heavens sake.
If anyone has any tips, wants to advertise, can suggest how to make a nice graphic etc., then let me know. At the moment I am a bit oppressed by the intransigence of computer software. Its time to call in the help I spent hundreds of dollars paying for...............
