FTF & Naughty Tenants

 Good Morning and Happy Friday! Time to express my fondness for something and share it by linking to SHAY at Quilting in my Pyjamas. Today my favourite thing is my new lovely fluffy "Scottie Dog" flanno P.J'S. I am a big fan of flanno's anyway.
I love Scottie Dogs as we had one in our family when I was growing up ( a black one called Lassie ...what else) and "Wee Jock" the little white Highland terrier in the TV show Hamish Macbeth also stole my heart the moment I saw him. So when I saw these and they were very inexpensive ones  which was even better I knew I had to have them. Aren't they cute?
Now to the bad tenant. My lovely friend Helen lives up in the pristine rainforest in the hinterland around Beechmont and grew these beautiful pumkins.
We were all delighted when she shared her bounty with her Yoga Sisters and I followed instructions to pop it in the sun until the stalk dried out. Visions of yummy Pumpkin soup, roasted pumpkins flashed through my mind....couldn't wait! Well when I came out this morning this is what I found....
Someone helped themselves without an invitation. Guess who?
Who Me? I have borrowed this photo from Here
 as ours was a hit and run attack and my photo through the window screens at midnight didn't came out. Lucky our downstairs tenant Mrs Possum is cute I can tell you!
Not much sewing going on here I have been much too busy with everyday life but I have managed to stitch a few little Christmas Hexies .
I hope you all have a lovely weekend. We have a long weekend here which is always great.
A little favourite quote for Friday by Ralph Waldo Emerson.....
"One of the blessings of old Friends is that you can afford to be stupid with them"
I think it's wonderful that they love you anyway.

  2. G'day Michelle. Those PJ"s are so cute. When we had the farm, we had possum problems, but they are such lovable rascals. I am sure your lovely pumpkin would have made a delicious snack for them. Take care. Liz...

  7. Lovely pj's. We had rats eat our veggies this summer, not nearly as cute as the possum, we got them though when they decided to migrate to the roof space when the cold weather hit.. ratsack finished them off but we couldn't put it out in the open because of our dog and they just laughed at all our rat traps lol.

  13. Eeeek! Pyjamas as a favourite totally got my attention! Those scottie dogs are so cute! And yes you’re really going to need those jammies once you hit my part of the world.

    But Mrs. Possum was hungry...you cant really blame her. She probably thought the pumpkin had been left out for her.
