A cat and his octopus

Yesterday Raff made some new friends.

When I got home I found that Meghann of Little Studio Jewellery had stopped by and left a package for me.  Well, for Raff and I would be more accurate.

It was a lovely thing to find as the day had not been a good one up until that point.  I excitedly unwrapped the little packages that were tucked into a pretty gift bag with brightly coloured tissue paper.

There was a teeny tiny crocheted teddy bear (for Raff), Octothello the crocheted octopus (for Raff!), the cutest little crocheted sock monkey (MINE!  All MINE!) and at the very bottom of the bag was some home made chocolate and peanut butter fudge.

I haven’t got a picture of my little sock monkey yet because Mixy monkee leaped up and stole him from me.

I haven’t got a picture of the fudge because it’s all gone….  I shared with David – honestly!!   It really was sooo rich and creamy and delicious!

So we are left with Raff and his new friends whom Meghann had sprayed with natural catnip!

Raff sniffed, and looked, and looked and sniffed, he tried to eat Octothello’s leg then went to roll in the teddybear.

After that he crawled up and curled up on my knee – worn out and ready for a nap – until he felt something upon his back.

He tried to ignore it…

But it wouldn’t go away…

He decided he really liked the little teddy but wasn’t so sure about this other interloper.

It was obvious though that it wasn’t going away, so in the end he gave in, and they all had a lovely nap together!

Thank you Meghann!  Beads are coming your way and in the meantime I hope you enjoyed the pictures!

If anyone is a WordPress geek I’m desperately seeking help.  My hosting co had big problems with the server I’m on last Thursday.  My blog is up and running again, but since then I can no longer upload images through WordPress (  I’ve got a trouble ticket in, but suspect it’s going to be one of those elusive techy problems that no-one seems to have an answer for.   I’ve found a work-around, but it really is a W.O.R.K. around and a real pain to get images into a post.
