Max's been to the trimming parlour!

What a rushed i had this morning as the appoinment made last year for Max's trimmings at 9am was quite early, but i have to bring Chris first to school and pick up Max-(the owner can't bring him himself as he has to go to work). Have to drive about 20minutes to the parlour. When we made the appointment DH thought he's home then but ohhh no! He's away for a 2 weeks course, though he will be home weekend.
Took this picture of Max outside the parlour
when i didn't opened tha car door at once. DH had asked me to take a picture before and after the trimming but i was sooo in a hurry i forgot my camera!

Took this picture while he's content lying down on the kitchen floor when we arrive while i am preparing lunch for me and Chris. Grace have lunch box everyday during school days.
After lunch i called the owner at his work if i could keep Max till Saturday as DH want to see him too and he said fine and brought his food. I think he's happy that Max is here as he doesn't have much time due to his work.


We don't ussually take pictures especially on adults birthday so that is why i haven't attach any picture on my last post. Here's a group picture of our friends during one of our outing previous year. Most them came in the evening and a couple came in the afternoon while one couple had called that evening that they are on the mainland, so they couldn't make it.
In the afternoon where mostly family, 2 sisters of DH with their husbands, MIL, a couple of neighbours with their kids and a few other friends.


Three of these designs from different magazines i had started and the 'Home is where... will start it next week, together with Tinna(no blog). We expect to finish it in 4 weeks, now we'll see if i really can make it as i keep on starting new projects while i still have lots unfinished!


A squirrel block for Sharyl's quilt, her theme was animal. Hope she will like it. Next, i am finishing for the quilts are EMS babies and Circus theme. Still a few more on the list but do hope to be done with this before 2009 ends.




Meari: the snacks are off puff pastry(store bought)one was filled with ham, pineapple and cheese while the other one was filled with tomato sauce, salami & cheese.

Thank you all so much for stopping by and all the lovely comments. I deeply appreciate them all.

The squirrel you stitched is just adorable.
You started some nice projects. They are from British magazines, aren't they? Looking forward to seeing your first finished.

Wow, wat een prachtige hond hebben jullie! Kan ik trouwens in het nederlands schrijven? Dat is wat makkelijker.. Ik zie dat je een echte hyper-borduurder bent! Heel mooi en zo veel! Prachtig, dat eekhoorntje..

Mylene,
I think Max's owner is lucky to have you all! It's so nice that Max feels comfortable staying with you. I'm sure he likes it because there is always someone home. He looks mahhh-velous after being groomed! ...and so content! LoL!

It sounds like you had a wonderful belated birthday celebration! As always, your stitching is beautiful!

Hugs,
Beth

Our dog is no longer with us but she used to hate going to the 'beauty' parlour, i used to have to carry her in! if we went for a walk past there anytime she used to pull really hard on her lead and rush past the shop with her head down, lol.
I love Home is Where... I had intended to do this when i got the mag in the post, still haven't got round to it!

Max looks so happy. Don't know where you get all your energy, but you can always send some to me if you have any extra. Yes, you suffer from start-itis and I'm afraid there is no cure. LOL Love the pic of all your friends & family.
