tea of the day - Vanilla Rooibos

Here we have the paperwhites that were mere bulbs a few weeks ago! I am now experiencing the peculiar smell I have read about. I can't decide if they smell nice or naughty. In a dramatic turn of events, I have discovered that these are poisonous for cats! I have placed this high up on the microwave now, but it had been on the kitchen table since I bought them and thankfully girl cat has not gnawed on them at all- and she gnaws on all things. My mum is bringing a poinsettia which will also have to be kept far from her. We can have no more sick pussycats around here for a long while.

Behold my awesome calendar for the new year. My knitting neighbor to the east - her kids' school made them and I had to have one. They are just so perfect. I have always wanted to create my own calendar, so perhaps if I start in the new year I will have one ready to sell for 2009. Boy, that sounds far far away...but can you believe it is nearly 2008?

To end on a perfect note-look !! A gift which I was unable to save for Christmas. It is from the lovely In Fact I do believe I gave it away in the first picture...It is one of the great re-usable shopping bags she and the knitters of Hexham have made. It has this link added MORSBAGS.Look! Here they are giving the bags away! How great. Ande Here they are being made! I love it. Thank-you Katie! I love the bag and stickers , lovely buttons and card-:)
