Something different

I have something a little different today.  I was sent a DT kit from Marianne Designs which pushed me right out of my comfort zone but after the day I had yesterday it was good to be able to switch off.

The Dress Form stamp and perfume label stamp are from the CS0857 stamp set – from their new release I think.  The paper is also from Marianne Design – Birds and Flowers stack and the ticket die is CR1212 also by Marianne Design.  The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley’s Vintage Sentiments – Occasions.

The flowers (small gardenia, 20mm roses, 15mm roses, 4mm rose buds), seam binding (which I gathered by pulling the centre strands) and pearls are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

As I said before, yesterday was not a good day.  I got home from work and had to dash out to the post office to collect a parcel.  When I got home Tony was waiting at the door for me …. I KNEW there was something wrong and said Roxy!  She’s my old lady and has gotten rather doddery lately.  To my absolute shock and horror he said Sidney!!  My little man was in the garden and Tony had gone to call hiim in.  He was lying in the garden bed and as Tony bent to stroke him Sidney drew his last breath and died.  My little man was only 7 and was a little blessing.  The vet thinks it was heart failure.  We rescued him 15 months ago and like to think that we made up for the neglect he suffered before then.  He sure waltzed into this house, took over his little harem and left paw prints on all our hearts.

Run free at the bridge mammy’s little man, go fetch that ball for me xxxxxx

Here he is with one of his toys, in 7th heaven bless him

  6. Oh Bev, reading your story about Sidney brought tears to my eyes (really- my daughter has just asked why I'm crying- such a sook). We have a rescue dog... how people can be so cruel is beyond me... Glad there are people like us in the world to make their days brighter :0) He is playing in his Heaven now... and your card is stunning yet again XOX Tania

  10. Oh how dreadful Bev it made me cry and I don't know him you must be devastated. You brought him happiness whilst he was with you and he was obviously so well loved! I can't understand people who mistreat animals we have a rescue cat and any sudden movement around him for ages and he would just jump out of his skin. He is a huge cat but the most gentle cat I have ever had or seen I have never seen him take his claws out to anyone and he is totally bossed around by our other cats! Your card is beautiful by the way - sorry to waffle!! xx

    So sorry to hear about the loss of your Sid, I now how hard it is to loose a loved dog. They really get as a familymember too, and it´s so hard, when we can´t do more to help, them, but at least he´s in peace where he is now and not suffering from anything anymore. Hope you´ll feel better very soon.

  20. No matter what type of person one is, the heart of a dog wins us all over, that is unless one has given theri soul 2 the devil.!!!
    I'm sorry 4 Ur loss. He sure is(was) a cutie. Till I can get there & when I miss my boy I try 2 imagine many of my love ones who have gone before me now, are playing rompping, sitting in the sun, and just enjoying my dear Chip(a mini toy poodle/chiwawa(?spelling) Chip actually picked me, and still the bitter tears well-up even after 10 yrs & despite after 7 yrs I was now given a white girl dolly(a Bichon). I'm so sorry for the hole U & Ur's will B in, & the days of getting used to his missing in the house, bed, @ the Shower door, etc. Know I'll keep all of U in my Prayers et thoughts. GB Sidney,& Peace till we all meet again. GBU2 7 Ur's

    So Sorry to hear about your little baby... It is so difficult to lose a pet at such a young age. We lost our 10mth old lab in January and it pains you to think of the life they could have had left but you must always remember the wonderful times you had together however short..

    Keep your chin up.

I too remember in your blog posts when you brought Sidney home, and i remember photos of him before he had the Bev treatment and after! He was such a lucky little boy to have such loving and generous human parents and i just know he was the better for it, i post this through tears of sorrow but of joy too, that he spent is last precious months & moments with people like you & Tony, his contentment in that gorgeous pic you've shown of him shines through sweetheart!....heartbreaking news Bev, but i know too that he will be running around for that ball with pals that have gone on before him, Love & Light to you both, sweet lady, Hugs, Vick xxxx

  71. Dear Bev,
    I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your precious little friend. There are no words to ease your pain but I hope that the love sent to you across the blog space will be a little comfort to you and Tony. Our animals become such an intergral part of our lives and leave an empty space in our hearts when they go. It does sound as though you have lovely memories of his playful ways to recall when you feel low. Best wishes to you both.
    Your card is just wonderful. I do love it when you try things as you say, out of your comfort zone. You are so talented that anything you try seems to be perfection. Thanks for sharing with us, especially at this sad time.
    Thinking of you both. Hugs Linda x

  82. So sorry to hear about Sidney. My avatar Sooty was my soulpet who we lost aged 22, but we also had Peaches and a similar thing happened with her as with Sidney. She was a cream mackeral girl (very rare) who turned up in our garden with kittens. The vet thought she had been abused and it took us a year to get near her. She came round but we lost her aged 4 to Lymphoma. We like to think she was sent to us to show her love before she had to go. Maybe Sidney was sent to you for the same reason?

  99. Dear Bev,

    I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your precious puppy. I know it can hurt sometimes as much as losing a person...sometimes more. We share secrets with our pawed friends, and love them, and they us, unconditionally. I will pray for you and hubby, and I believe that you will see this pup again one day. The Bible says we will have the desires of our heart. You are a special woman, and showed love and attention to a pup who may not otherwise known such sweetness. I understand, I believe. I miss my golden lab-retriever that I had for over 12 years. I'm here if you want to vent or chat.

    This card is beautiful. The large flower is fabulous. I don't know how you had it in you to create.

    He IS Able!

  100. I am so sorry to hear your sad news Bev.
    I do know how you are feeling right now, coz I had to have my Staffie put to sleep on the 15th of this month. We have had him from 7 weeks & he was coming up to 12 yrs. Several weeks before that we had to have our Yorkie put to sleep too. We took him on when my hubbys Mum passed. We had him for 7 yrs & no one knows how old he was. I believe he should have got a letter from the Queen Lol.

    It breaks your heart Bev, but at least he had a good life with you x

  115. Ahh so sorry to read about your buddy Sidney. You have to feel good about the good home you gave him. I lost my Max the cat in March. I know how hard it is. I went and adopted another kitty we call Lucy and it eased the pain but I will alway miss my Max.
    Your card is wonderful. You do very very well outside of your comfort zone. LOL

  116. Oh so sorry to hear about your poor little sweetheart :( He looks adorable. You must be heartbroken, but at least you can take some comfort in the fact that you gave him a much better life and he was very happy right up until the last minute.
    Your card is stunning also :)

  124. Oh Bev I'm only catching up with this news now. How awful to lose Sidney like that. My own wee Rosie suffers from heart failure and I just am so relieved when I see her up and about each morning. I truthfully don't know how I'll cope when it's her turn. I can't express how sad I feel for you today.
    Please accept my heartfelt hugs for you today.

  128. oh no, how very sad for you... :( He is adorable in that picture. I would be a basket case if any of our 4 fur babies left us. They are all little people in their own way...
    Your card is stunning! It's obvious you can create magic with anything sent your way... hugs

  129. Oh Bev ... so very sorry to hear about poor little Sidney. Thank goodness he did have you and Tony for the last part of his short life. He knew love.
    Your card is beautiful. I really like the french perfume bottle and that dress form with the bow and pearl center.
    Sending you hugs and love to help you in this time of mourning your beloved pet.

  130. Oh Bev, I'm so sorry that your Sidney has gone.. my Jack Russel Toby climbed up on my lap and took his last breath 8 years ago and I often refer to the paw prints he left on my heart, each pet you have leaves their own imprint. It's so sad that they leave us, but it sounds as if he had a peaceful parting from a home where he was well loved, which is the best you can hope for. Donna

Be comforted by the thoughts that you saved his life and he had such a quality time with your family. Our pets are part of the family. Big hugs!

  139. Hi Bev! I've been away for a couple of days and have to catch up with all the blogs I follow. As I came to your blog, I read this terrible news about Sydney. I am so sorry for your loss. I love this picture of him, so cute! Where he is now there is no pain you feel the pain of missing someone you love very dearly.
    Hugs Yolanda
    Your card is beautiful but I guess you already know that.
