New Piratey treasure!!

I got a new 50p coin for my piratey treasure chest!!!!!

It's another Paddington Bear one!!!

I'm so HAPPY!!

 

Eco dying and zooming!

We did some more eco-dying stuff this weekend using black turtle beans.  Comes out an interesting purple-y colour, too!!    This piece is the cotton and we might do a second dye on it as the colour fades a little as the material dries.

We got some interesting patterns from where the beans were, though!

This is the piece of silk we used...... got a stronger colour on that one!

And then later on, we Zoomed with Cocoa Beanie and Sandy Bear!!!   Cocoa Beanie got the knitted vest we made him!!!

 

Letters from Afar - Kauai, Hawaii

We got another letter from Arntie Isabelle today!!!

She's in Hawaii!!!  That's a group of islands in the Pacific, you know!

Wow, she's having lots of fun there!

She sent me two more stamps - the big one is from Haiti and the smaller red one is from USA!

 

We won a prize!!!

We had a big box delivered today........ which is strange because we weren't expecting anything.

Oh, now look at that!!!

OH!  What's going on!!

OH WOW!!!  Apparently Andrea entered the Laduree Christmas contest online a while ago - completely forgot about it - and WE WON!!!

What's the prize??

OOOOOOoooooooooooo!!

AAAaaaaaahhhhhh!!

OH WOWZERS!!  A box of twelve macarons and six of them are chocolate coated!!!

We'll have to save the chocolate ones for Sunday so that Cocoa Beanie can lick them through the Zoom Screen!!

 

Letter from Farthest Away - Vancouver

We got a letter yesterday!!  It's addressed to me!!

Things are getting worse???  Uh-oh!

Please send chocolate???  Oh dear.....

It's a letter from Arntie Isabelle!!  But it looks a bit different to her usual letters.....

It's still very interesting though - and I spotted it's signed from Cocoa Beanie and Sandy Bear!!!

And I got two stamps from Vietnam!! 

Oh what fun!!!
