A solution to the problem of grated cheese

You may remember that I was having a moan recently about Toby’s liking for finely grated cheese and how I was wishing for a mouse to keep the carpets clean. Well, look what arrived in the post!

The most perfect little chap for the job!

He’s already had a snuffle around and snacked on a couple of stray cheerios, some cake crumbs and of course copious quantities of grated cheese. He’s worth his weight in gold AND he came bearing gifts of chocolate, biscuits and wool.

Martine you are very sweet – I love Cheddar (as Amy has named the mouse) and the goodies are much appreciated – thanks so much X

Thanks too to everyone who voted for me in the softie awards. It was great to be nominated and although my puds didn’t win they’re not too sad to have lost to such a cute gingerbread baby!

I spent the weekend in my ‘mailroom’ surrounded by tissue paper, ribbon and packing tape and yesterday the latest batch of little cotton friends embarked on their journey to new lives near and far.

I love knowing that my little knitted creatures have arrived safely in their new homes and it’s a real bonus when people take the time to send photos. So here’s a round-up of some of the little cotton friends who’ve happily settled into new homes. Thanks so much to…

…Martine who has given Crispin a snuggly new home (and a posh new scarf),

…Clara and her son who have taken Linus on lots of lovely autumn adventures (more adventures of Linus can be found here)

…Amanda, whose gorgeous little boy is obviously happy to meet Ferdie

…Nancy who has made Florrie feel right at home

…Karen, who has lots of friends to welcome Marnie

…Kelly and her daughter, who have a home full of cuddles for Minty and Chuang Chuang

And lastly Mrs Gosling (Nikki) who has emailed me about Maxie.

He has gone to work in her class of 4 year olds where he’s helping them to learn their jolly phonics – I know he’ll be having a wonderful time and will be really proud to be doing such an important job.

Thanks everyone for the updates x
