A few of my favourite things . . .

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . . .  these are a few of my favourite things . . .
and I'm betting that some of them are yours too!!

Milk chocolate covered digestive biscuits.  I love them so much I don't dare have them in the house or I would just eat them all up.  Maybe not in a day, but certainly within a week they would be all gone and Todd would not have gotten a look in.  Bad me.

 Okay so whiskers on kittens is really on the list.   So are raindrops on roses.  Baby anything actually makes me go aww . . . how can it not.  If you have a tender heart . . .  you just went aww  when you saw this.  Admit it.  We're all a bunch of softies.    And as if the whiskers weren't enough  . . .  the pink paws sent it into overload!!



Yes, I love mittens too.  In fact I had these exact same ones, knitted by this exact same person.  I bought them a number of years back from her shop Woolie Rosie.   I paid a lot of money for them, but I was working then and could afford to.  I have lost them . . .  *sniff *sniff.  I've searched everywhere for them and can't find them.  Makes me sad.   I wonder where lost mittens go to.   I wish I knew how to knit some more . . . .  I also had a pair my mother had knit me a long time ago, but oddly enough those have disappeard too.  *grumble.  I can only hope they will turn up one day and be just as happy to see me as I am to see them.

 Chubby cheeks.  You just want to smooch them.   It does beg the question however . . .  how come chubby cheeks are not as attractive in grown ups, and why don't we want to smooch them???



My Doll House.   Nora is hoovering . . .  Boots is watching her.  I play with it sometimes and make up stories in my head.  I haven't gotten around to posting on my doll house blog in a while now, but that doesn't mean I have stopped playing with it.



They make cakes together and all sorts . . .



They're best buds . . .  I just run out of time . . .



Front porch swings.   I love front porch swings.  My ex ex husband's parents had a front porch and they had a swing on it . . .  a hammock too.  One day I hope to have a front porch and there will be a swing on it . . .  and a rocking chair and I'll be able to sit on it and watch the whole world walk by on sunny days.   So there.



Words.   Quotes.  Word games.  Dictionaries.   I love them.  I collect words and quotes.  I have scribblers filled with them.  It's harmless and costs nothing but my time and a bit of ink.




 Rufus Sewell.   Need I say more?  I think it's the eyes . . .  they get to me.  Sigh . . .



 Watching the sun rise . . . it makes my heart swell.   I have never seen one that wasn't beautiful in some way . . .




Sometimes I even do a good job of catching one on the camera . . . 

 
 

Lady birds . . .  I adore lady birds . . . they are one of my absolute all time favourites . . .

And if I could find a pair of these that fit me I would wear them, I would, I would  . .

 These too . . .  do you think they will have them in heaven??

 (For the recipe)

Well . . .  if they have those shoes I am quite sure they will have this cake too.   


If you get to heaven and you see a crazy lady with chubby cheeks wearing lady bug shoes and mittens . . . with chocolate all over her lips . . .  that will be me.   For sure.   I'll share my porch swing with you, and we'll watch the sun rise as we talk about whiskers on kittens . . .    We might even get in a game of scrabble before Rufus comes over.
