December 24th and 25th

YIPPEE!!!!! I've completed the whole advent animation! I must admit it was a bigger task than I first imagined it to be but still very much worth while. As I hoped to, I learnt a lot from making all of these and I think it is clear that as the month went on, the animations got just that little bit more complex and detailed. I'm so glad that people have been watching and enjoying. It really does mean a lot to me that you have. Oh deary me! This is beginning to sound a bit like an acceptance speech now. Next I'll be saying that I just want to thank my mum and dad for believing in me etc.!! I'm posting the 25th one on today as for all those living in dipsy land, it's christmas tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!! I can imagine that you people will have better things to do than checking my blog. I wouldn't blame you at all if this was true because it's ditto for me from a posting on blog point of view! Well I wish you all a very merry christmas! I hope you have a brilliant day whatever your doing xxxxx

Pudgy the Snowman!

My sister and I have been busy all morning making this snowman!!

Originally, what with plenty of snow about, we were trying to make it as tall as possible but we couldn't get it tall without the proportion going all wrong. In the end we settled for making this roly poly little guy. The hat is made out of solid ice which we tipped out of a bucket!

I'm yet to find out if it was ok to use my Dad's tie as he's gone trekking out to the shops with Mum to do the Christmas food shop. They've gone out with huge rack sacks because we can't use the car at all. Yesterday, it took them two hours to get home from Asda when normally it takes about 10-15 minutes!

So what do you think of him?! Pretty 'cool' huh! (Groan!)

puppies walking..but not in the snow!

This is a short video that I shot whilst with the puppies yesterday. I wanted to get some footage for my blog to show you all that they can now walk! This little guy was so funny because he was so determined to get on top of the pile. He manages his epic struggle in the end finishing with a contented sigh! So cute! Also, whilst I was there, I discovered that the teeth on most of the puppies are now coming through! This means that the weening process will be starting very soon. What a busy christmas it's going to be in their house eh! It's been snowing where I live whoop whoop! This is a picture of the view outside my bedroom window. It's so picturesque isn't it. (click to enlarge it)Gorgeous! It's hard to believe that a month ago we were confonted with floods! It's pretty deep but very powdery so no snowmen have graced the scene of any gardens as it won't stick together! It's good weather for walking Peppa our dog though! She's a cocker spaniel with a very long coat. When the snow's very wet, it all sticks to her legs! It looks very amusing as by the end of the walk she tends to resemble a white poodle with these huge clumps of snow forming like cotton balls! Nightmare to get off her though as they stick hard and fast. She's there for the rest of the day shivering bless her! This time though, the snow hardly stuck to her at all which was good. I took her out for a walk along the river and down to the church so we could meet Mum and Dad coming out of church.

December 20th and puppy update!

The puppies have grown so much! Must be at least double in size now! As you can see, they've opened their eyes now and news just in is that they are now walking on all fours around the pen! I'm going to see them again today to see this! They should be getting weened anytime now too because lots of little milk teeth are going to begin showing which I can imagine would be pretty painful for Mollie if they bite whilst suckling! They're all so gorgeous but don't half make a lot of noise when they want to! They've all got temporary names which I'll list to you now: Minnie, Caspian, Sooty (now Eva I think), Milly, Mickey, Fudge, Hazel, Holly,

This one isn't too clear because when I showed it to my parents, they didn't get it. But then again, they're Dumbos so! JOKING Mum and Dad please don't ground me lol! Basically, there's a hand coming in and it's pulling at the ribbon on the present trying to open it. I come in and slap it away!

December 11th and 12th!

YES!!!!! I've cracked my uploading problem! What I've done is create a YouTube account and put all my animations on there. I then copy the embedded code and paste it into this post! I'm so glad that it's sorted for definite this time (touch wood!) and plus, all my animations are in a set place where millions of people use the site every day. With a bit of luck I should attract at least some of that audience! You can see all my animations there by typing FUNNIMATION into the search engine. It would be amazing if you checked it out and spread the word by mouth! If you could tell as may people about my animations a possible then I'd be awesomely grateful!

December 9th and 10th!

Yippee! Thank goodness it's worked.I was beginning to worry that all my hard work had gone down the drain because I wouldn't be able to show them to anyone!

Houston we have a problem!

For some reason, I'm not able to load todays animation on because it's not letting me. I've been trying all day but to no avail. I think what I'll do, is keep trying till I go to bed and if it still isn't working then I'll try again tomorrow and upload todays one with the tenth of December. Sorry about this guys but look at it this way, you'll have two animations to open up tomorrow... well that's assuming it will work tomorrow. If it doesn't then you'll have three to open the next day etc!

December 8th

Ok so this one didn't quite turn out how I wanted it to! The idea was that the stickman would rub a snowangel into the black snow type stuff. If you look carefully you can see an angel shape forming though it's just not as defined as I would have liked.

Puppies again...But this time in film!

Here's a gorgeous clip of Mollie with her newborn pups halfway or so through the birth. I think most had been born but she still had a couple more to go. She was getting pretty tired at this point and who can blame her!

December 2nd

I also have some really exciting news to share with you aswell! Last night, my friend's dog who was pregnant went into labour!! She phoned me to come round because they had very kindly asked if I wanted to be there when it happened! So there I was at around 8pm whizzing round on my scooter so as not to miss the action. It was so amazing to watch the puppies being born and everyone took it in turns to look after the 'nursery' which by the end had 8 gorgeous little puppies in it each no bigger than the palm of my hand! I'll try to get some pictures to show you as soon as possible I promise!

December 1st!
