Merry Christmas

and a happy New Year for 2008

Handmade

We had a family party here last night and I was given a present by my nieces, beautifully wrapped in a tissue paper lined box, with ribbon tied around. When I opened it I found these gorgeous biscuits - a wonderful handmade present. They are delicious, thank you Daisy, Alice and Olivia.

Decorating

Getting into the festive spirit by decorating my mantlepiece.

Music doodle 2

Doodle to India Arie's Acoustic Soul album - one of my favourites.

Energy efficient

On my sister's Christmas present list she had written down kettle. I rang her the other day to ask if there was any particular model. "Oh I want an energy efficient one" she replied. Two days later she had done this to her house! I had to laugh.

Seeing Sia

Went to see Sia in Brighton on Monday, she has a brilliant voice which sent shivers down my spine, she also had the audience in fits of laughter, check her out here.

It's a weird thing - since the age of six (which is a long time ago now) I have been regularly finding these Jay's feathers on my walks in the woods. I think they're beautiful. I don't look for them but just before I find one, a thought enters my mind which is 'I'll see a Jay's feather in a minute,' and I walk a little further and there it is, on the pathway. They've all been found in different places and I've never even seen a Jay! I looked up the symbolism on the Eurasian Jay and found that it can mean good luck. I'm hoping I find many more.
