This afternoon - Tulip tugging on my jeans, like she really has to tell me something. Hm, I wonder if it could be to do with food?

Two years today since our queen Tina passed on. I miss her every day; I’m grateful that Tulip came along to take over with her old wild Siberian ways x

I'm purposely going as slowly as possible with this build, I want to savour it. I'm doing bag #2 now, and will try to save bags #3-5 for next weekend. That strategy probably won't work, though πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
