Congrats on the Rowan yarn. I just bid on some vintage French ribbon and won. Love when that happens! And your almond cupcakes with 'spiced' up buttercream icing sound divine!cathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06548594237129845161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-28742239410858223082009-12-07T09:50:32.150+00:002009-12-07T09:50:32.150+00:00Better a sourpuss than no puss at all I say! My ch...Better a sourpuss than no puss at all I say! My chef daughter uses a little plain yoghurt in her buttercream toppings, sometimes with a dash of something else, vanilla may be. Now I'm going to go and scrutenise cats' noses because I have never realised that they change with emotions. I wonder what Frankie's will reveal as his is a patent black leather type nose. He's on top of the fish tank as usual and so perhaps a blueish tinge from the moonlight bulb will tell me how he's feeling this morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-48231520679166029572009-12-07T08:23:05.336+00:002009-12-07T08:23:05.336+00:00The pop up laundry basket has become a firm favour...The pop up laundry basket has become a firm favourite with Higgins in this house. When he tires of hopping in and out with toys he finds it gives him great size advantage over our long suffering cat Henry when bulldozed across the floor.<br />I'm very envious of the ebay purchase, great price. That's less than I pay for the stuff I dye myself and I think that's a bargain!<br />Penny xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-68101226224718719212009-12-07T07:57:15.068+00:002009-12-07T07:57:15.068+00:00We, your fans, do not see you as a grumpy sourpuss...We, your fans, do not see you as a grumpy sourpuss! You make wry comments on the day-to-day irritations of life, that's all! I bet you agree with almost the gripes on "Grumpy Old Women" (the TV programme)though, just like I do!<br /><br />Part of me wishes that I had been born 50yrs earlier, so that the manners and standards of behaviour that I remember from my childhood would be around me now, but then I quickly work out how different everything would have been in so many ways and accept that life for most women in this country is, actually, very good.<br /><br />It's the contrast, I think, between what we create in our own homes, and what we see when we venture out. Home is best!Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704331870306959361.post-3131213421461770272009-12-07T06:43:05.589+00:002009-12-07T06:43:05.589+00:00I don't think you sounded overly grumpy in you...I don't think you sounded overly grumpy in your last post . And I'm assuming that you hadn't shaken your umbrella at some Dad in the supermarket ,and quavered , " Young man , in my day children were seen but not heard !" .I haven't quite done that in the library .....but it's only a question of time .<br />That's a very nice poppy !
