News & Updates from Liz Harrison Scottie Dog Crafts

Our granddaughters Lexie aged 8 and Skyla aged 2, stayed over at the weekend. We had a visit to santas grotto, and met some raindeers . Lexie loved the raindeers , but Skyla kept saying ooo smelly, and covered her nose .

We tried getting them to sit near them for a photo , but Skyla kept hiding her face. Lol. Fortunately there was a Santa and raindeer ride in the centre . These raindeers were clean , with no smell, so we managed to get a photo .

Last year on a school trip , to France , our friends daughter ,Jess sadly passed away in a water sports incident .

She was only 12 years old.

Her parents are now fundraising for the Jess Lawson memorial, to help other families who lose a child in such terrible ,and sad , circumstances.

We are all doing our bit to help. Ive made and sold some cards , other people have done bike rides an collections .the photos are of my Brave friend Hev who has gone all out and had her head shaved.

He has raised over £2000 so far .

As you can see her hair was very long before it was shaved . She is one Brave lady, particularly in the British winter . Jesss favourite flower was the sunflower, bright and cheerful just like her x

I decided to make an advent calendar this year as a keepsake. Its made from felt and all hand stitched . Its roughly three foot long so took quite a few hours to complete .

I managed to get it finished ready for hanging on the wall on 1st December . This year there is a little candy cane treat in each pocket . Ill be looking for ideas for next year in January lol

In October we took our granddaughters to to Hull fair. Its one of the largest travelling fairs in Europe, with rides stalls and games . Ive been going since I was a little girl, we took our children,and now were taking our grandchildren.

This year we videoed the girls on the rides . Now every time Skyla comes to visit , we have to play the video on a loop. As you can see she likes to stand and watch very closely . Its given us a break from cartoons though lol

This is my youngest granddaughter Skyla having a colourful time painting. She is only just 2 years old , and is already getting involved with family crafting. Painting is her favorite at the minute as you can see from the smile .

We have to keep a close eye on her though .She is very mischevious and will add the paint to walls and furniture given a chance.

The dog keeps well out of the way too, he has been painted in the past. Christmas cards are the next painting projects to do
