….to celebrate my 150 Blog Post! I can’t believe it’s come round so quickly…
Anyway, a belated Happy New Year to you all, thank you for visiting. I’m sorry to have been away so long but there have been guests, invited and uninvited. No-one invited flu of the Swinish persuasion, but he came anyway and laid several of our party low, and as I write the smallest one is still very poorly. We’re all sending get well wishes southwards as hard as we can, here in Norfolk.
So, not many photos at the moment, and not enough to join in with Emma’s Splash of Colour today, maybe tomorrow.
Higgins had a lovely time with all the people to cuddle him, he makes an excellent hot water bottle! He wore his hat…
….for at least 20 seconds. Ate his Father Christmas toy so fast I didn’t get a chance to photograph it, called a Christmas truce with Henry…
…and then dragged a cushion under the dining table to sleep off his own Christmas dinner while we ate ours.
Anyway, the giveaway. Are you all decorationed out, or would you like something towards Christmas 2011 to hang on your tree? I have been needlefelting again, this time Christmas baubles and I have made a very special one to share with you, and for one lucky person to win.
The bauble is 5″ from the top wooden bead to the bottom bead,that’s just under 13cm, is made from my hand dyed Merino and Blue-Face Leicester fleece and is completely unique. (‘cos I hate to repeat myself!)
To win it, just leave a comment on this post, all the names will go into the hat and Higgins will decide the lucky winner by eating drawing the winning name. the plan had been to draw it on Twelth Night but because I’m so late, I will let it run until next Monday, the 10th.
Even if you’ve never commented before, please do, it would be lovely to hear from you x

Sorry to hear the dreaded swinish flu has been round your place, but how nice to have a Higgins water bottle to cuddle – every home should have one!
Hope you are all fully recovered very soon.
Love the bauble, it has a very futuristic sci-fi look to it (or is that just me?)

I so love Higgins! He is a sweetpea! And the deocrations are beautiful. Have a very happy, healthy and creative 2011 from Yorkshire!
Sending virus-banishing vibes down south for you Penny… woooooosh!
Higgins does look sleek and well filled out by his Christmas dinner – what a content looking little dog 🙂 And Henry looks pretty chilled too.
That bauble is beautiful – it would look very at home with my Ukrainian dolls on our Christmas tree, so count me in please.

Wasn’t Higgins gracious to Henry? That bauble is amazing, please count me in. I hope that all the sick people are now well again.
Lovely picture of the “Christmas truce”. Best wishes for a speedy recovery from the flu visit.
Sorry to hear you’ve been ‘crook’ and I commiserate with that as I too have been the downfall of said lurgy and it’s not very nice. Just when you think it’s gone it comes back and bites you on the bum again. Hope it won’t show its face for a third time.
Please enter me in your giveaway draw and I hope that Higgins will pick my name from his hat.
that bauble is totally gorgeous so please count me in!
Your needlefelted tree decoration is lovely, my 8 year old son helped me make felt decorations. We made a Christmas tree and a snowman. I did a needlefelting nightclass recently, and really enjoyed it, but haven’t made too much yet – too many other things to do. Hugs to Higgins, he’s just lovely, thought I don’t think my cat would approve, and I think she is probably bigger than him.
Happy and healthy new Year Penny! I am s sorry about the swine flu, Alice had it last yea and it was hideous but her little body and soul recovered after 7 days of it. Not a pleasant experience and I hope recovery come soon x
Higgins is so gorgeous and I love the pictures of him all curled up and cosy xox P
I would love to be included in your draw Panny – the bauble is gorgeous.
Happy New year, Penny. Get well wishes to all the poorly ones – my son had the snouted flu last year and he was very ill for a couple of weeks, like a little rag doll in fact. He only drank Milo, made with water, and looked like a stringy bean afterwards but he bounced back. The bauble is really cheering and it looks like Higgins has your eye for patterns – he chose a lovely cushion for his nap!
Happy New Year to you and Higgins Penny. How could I not stop by and comment when such a beautiful piece of felted decoration is up for offer.
