Gotta love Pickle


Morning Custard Lovers.

You may have noticed, I've a soft spot for this little Penguin. First up, I love penguins. All varieties. You know the waddly kind and the ones you get in the choklit aisle in the Supermarket!


But there's another reason that this little guy has melted my heart, aside from being incredibly cute looking. His name is Pickle, which is what we call Sweet Cheeks sometimes, particularly when we're having a lovely squidgey baby cuddle. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. You gotta love Pickle. :) You can get yours from My Mum's Craft Shop, but I'm not sharing cuddles. They're all mine.


I'm loving pastel Christmas cards this year, be prepared to see more! Seam Binding and Velvet Ric Rac from Sew Sweet were jumping up and down on my desk, begging to be used when I was making this card and it would be rude to ignore them, don't you think!


And here's this week's fabby Sketch from Sketch Saturday. We're sponsored by Robyn's Fetish this time. Hop on over to take a look at the completely gorgeous creations from The Saturdays. Well worth a look! :)

I would like to enter this card at:

    GORGEOUS. Love Pickle he is sooooo cute and what's he got behind his back? Could it be a pressy for me?

    I agree that pastel Christmas cards are in for this Xmas, they look so nice and I am a bit fed up with red and green all the time. Quite like black and white too do you?
