Flanny pyjamas

There are some things I love about winter and cold weather. A lot of the time I just hate winter (not happy in summer either, by the way!) but I do appreciate the nice things.

One of these things is flannelette pyjamas. I have a favourite pair of pink cupcake ones, which I could happily run around all day in. Comfy, pink, fluffy, cupcake, pretty, pyjamas.

They go along with a number of other things that I do like about winter. Warm blankets, a warm, happy cat, sitting in bed listening to the rain (sometimes watching it through window, too!), reading a book.

What else do I like about winter / cold weather? All the positive things for once.

• Cups of hot chocolate
• Open fires (not that I have one at the moment!)
• Electric blankets and hot water bottles
• Beanies and scarves & lots of woolen things, including blankets
• Bonfires
• Cuddling a warm cat or rabbit
• Frost on the grass in the morning
• Fog and mist, especially with trees and paddocks and cows
• Rain on the roof when you're warm & snug inside
• All those lovely warm comfort-food meals that you don't enjoy so much in warmer weather! i.e. casseroles, lasagna, rice pudding, nice hot baked fresh oven-y cakes & desserts
• Soft green grass
• All the bulbs that start flowering in the garden now
• Not having to water the garden so much ;)

Crocheted Cupcakes

My mum was very pleased with her latest birthday present. (Thank goodness for that). It's actually a pincushion, but the bigger white and pink things are just beads, sewn on. The rest are lovely pearly pins.

And the real cake wasn't too bad either. (Chocolate and Clinkers, you can't go wrong there.)
