Craft inspired by a wonderful sunrise

Waking early one morning in September, we decided to have a walk to the beach as the dawn was breaking. The tide was was well out, as the sun rose with the most beautiful sunrise which filled the sky and land alike,

Thinking about inspiration and theme for a handmade Christmas card for this year. I sat down with pastel chalks, guided by one of the images produced this:

I printed some copies, after adding Christmas greetings, layering a green card with red patterned card.

Surefire Way To Get The Stinkeye From Your Dog

My brother in law and his partner have a rescue greyhound and a lurcher. I noticed a picture on a social media website of a greyhound wearing a hat with rabbit ears, I decide to knit something similar. I looked on Ravelry and found a pattern entitled “Pointy Greyhound hood” They were quite fiddly, knitted on four needles like a sock, they fitted perfectly and ideal for the colder weather.

The pattern said, also known as: Surefire Way To Get The Stinkeye From Your Dog. I had never heard that expression before, but I will let you be the judge.
