knitting, nature and living with autism in the family
Well, my 1 year anniversary cake give-away competition has just closed and, resorting to the random number generator again we have a winner, comment number 10:
Well done Sarah at Lupin Cottage (I’ll email you about your cakey preferences) and thanks so much to everyone for the wonderful comments and for taking the time to enter.
Just a quickie to give you an update on Herbie Hogwart who is doing really well. He’s now doubled in size weighing 283gms at his last weigh-in and has progressed to eating slugs, worms and nuts as well as the mainstay of his diet – chicken cat food and kitten biscuits. For the last week we’ve been giving him a run in the garden each evening and he’s been snuffling around in the grass and occassionally coming up with a tasty treat to munch. The best news of all is that the hideous ticks are history! Thanks so much for all the tips on getting rid of them. I tried the vaseline and it worked a treat – both had dropped off the next day and were stuck between 2 sheets of newspaper and summarily executed by stamping squad – no tears shed there! It’s been difficult to take photos because he is mostly out at night and the flash startles him but I managed to get a couple:
In other news, I was chuffed to bits that my cakes get a mention in October’s Period Living magazine (thanks Kim and Vikki for the tip off!)! They were in a feature about vintage textile dealer Donna Flower and her beautiful home (thanks so much Donna you lovely, lovely lady!)
So if you fancy winning a cake for yourself and haven’t already left a comment on the previous post, pop down and leave one – my little 1 year anniversay prize draw will be open until tuesday. Have a fun weekend everyone!
I first posted on September 3rd 2006 – and what a fabulous adventure the last year has been! Through this blog I’ve met some wonderful people, made lots of new friends and felt comfortable enough to bear my soul to a sympathetic and kind-spirited group of lovely people – yes you! There are so many callous, cruel and malicious things going on in the world and reading the warm and friendly comments that I get here is the perfect antidote. I’m grateful for the warmth I’ve found here and I deeply appreciate that you take the time to visit and leave me comments.
The children are back at school today. Luckily the morning routine went without too many hitches (apart from me chipping my favourite mug) and now I’m getting on with the business of soaking up some peace and quiet, and of course drinking tea (from my poor old chipped mug) and knitting!
Anyway, seeing as this is my 1 year anniversary I thought I’d have another giveaway. So if you fancy winning yourself a little cotton cupcake then leave a comment (just say Hi if nothing else comes to mind) and in a week I’ll do a random prize draw.
Thanks again for visiting x
