Trendy Mittens

For my birthday I received a lovely pair of hand-knit mittens from my friend Elizabeth. The wrist is done in a Missoni pattern, ooh-la-la. She also made them in a washable wool - I can wash them - hurray! Because I always end up with soiled mittens (I'm such a naughty kitten).

Recycled Gift Wrap

Not only did the JP's give green gifts for Christmas, but they also used recycled newspaper wrap. However, I'm not sure what Miss Manners would say about giving someone newspaper wrapping with the Sudoku already done!

Happy New Year!

Well as the holiday season usually goes, I got a little busy and behind in my blog updates. I've got lots of pictures and goodies to post. Here is last year's Christmas craft from Dad - a lovely Christmas Tree tray. There were several other patterns he made for the family, below is the stocking he made for Mom. Just right to separate the tipsy balls from the nuts!
