Matryoshkas and Monkeys

I love matryoshkas. They are so cute. I've had this set for many years.

I got the key chain this Christmas from my daughter. She loves them too!

Monkey Love!

Weekend Dinner

We made fried fish sandwiches with tartar sauce and homemade "modern" coleslaw. I never really bothered with tartar sauce before I found this great recipe combo. So good! You can't eat just one! For recipes, go to http://www.lcbo.com/.

Moose Ornament

I made this ornament for my daughter's friend. She collects moose!

Cherry Almond Bundt Cake

This is one of our favourites! It's already gone!

Cat in the Box

She couldn't stand it anymore. She has to get into any box (or item) that she finds. One time we had the furnace guy here and he had his briefcase open on the floor in front of him. Truffles walked back and forth about 20 times until she couldn't take it anymore. She got into his briefcase and sat down. Silly cat! If you look closely you can see that she is wearing her new bling. She has a collar with a bell, but she got a new tag with her name and phone number on it for Christmas (from our daughter). Truffles is an indoor cat.

Neil in Boots

Here is my baby boy in the snow with his red boots on.

Look at that face! Very kissable!

Fossil Sewing Kit

My mother bought me this Fossil sewing kit for Christmas. I found it at The Bay (not eBay, “The” Bay). It is beautiful. I am a “Fossil” girl, so when I spotted it I picked it up not knowing it was a sewing kit. I just thought that it was a wallet/change purse. Then I saw the sewing machine etched on the front. Interesting… I opened it up not knowing what to expect, so when I saw all the sewing goodies inside I was thrilled with my find. It wasn’t cheap but I learned that it was 25% off, so I immediately went to the cash to pay for it. My mother then insisted that she wanted to buy it for me for Christmas. Thanks, Mom!
