And finally…

What makes me happy?  I won something!  I entered an on-line competition from a gorgeous site that makes beautiful handmade gifts http://www.justsewnorthumberland.co.uk/  

And I won a sunglasses case - which is excellent as I had just bought some sunglasses without a case, it was meant to be!  Check out the site as Catherine makes some beautiful things and I've sent a couple of bunnies to new babies...and she sews baby's name into the rabbit's ear.

Pink for a girl.
