It was nice to see your wardrobe. Looks like there is plenty of room. I loved hearing about the foods and the waiting for the month on the Christmas goodies. It is true that many cookies have sugar plus syrup. I substitute dates for my sugar when I make sugar type cookies or any baking. I was amazed how nice dates tasted! It is good to spend any time with you, as it is like a chat over coffee/tea. You are doing so well with your advent tea calendar drinking them daily. I would be too picky for a calendar as I only drink my 4 favorites most of the time. Decaffeinated teas for me as caffeine makes me stay up too late at night. (Earl Grey, WUWI oolong, Lapsong black, and Thai tea)

I tend to drink the same tea over and over again myself. So having a tea advent helps me discover new favourites! And since Bird & Blend has two (!) shops in Brighton I will be able to do some serious tea shopping when we go there in February.

I was going to ask to see the blanket too! Your bedroom turned out great!!

Please show us your scrappy crochet blanket WIP! (I have been thinking about starting one and need a little boost to get going. 😉 )

I will do that! :)
