Somehow I managed to NOT open the SSCS gifts I received from Trisha at TLC Stitches until Christmas. So these wonderfully colourful packages waited and waited!

Finally it was time to open them. First was this gloriously warm and soft scarf, which I love. With our winters it will be worn a lot. And it will certainly brighten up my winter coat. It’s fabulous!!

Secondly, I opened this — a microwave baked potato bag! I’ve meant to make one of these for ages but never quite got around to it. I am thrilled with this and I think we may well use it tonight.

And then there were these adorable kitty toys made for Smudge and Lester. Now that we’ve photographed them, the boys get to play with them.

Thank you, Trisha! The scarf is wonderful, the baked potato bag is truly something I’ve wanted for ages and the kitty toys are fantastic! Pictures of the boys playing with them soon.

And Smudge on Christmas night. He certainly knows how to relax!
