It’s National Compliment Day and this delightful one made my day, a quotation from Maurice Sendak, author of the wonderful children’s book, ‘Where the Wild Things Are’.
On #NationalComplimentDay, an all-time anecdote from a 1986 interview with NPR’s Terry Gross
The following is, I hope, a piece of knitting that will appeal to the cat lovers out there. I wish I had made it!
Sorry, don’t know the designer
Another piece of loveliness that came my way today, another piece I wish I had the skill to make!

What 3 wonderful and beautiful things you quote and show. It does your name of the blog justice. You always find the most amazing things, I love the compliment the jumper and the glass- fantastic.

It was a good day wasn’t it? Some days the beautiful things just leap out at me and say, put me in your post!

I enjoy all of your posts, but this one might be the most smile-inducing of all! (So far.)

And a heartfelt compliment to you, Sally, for constantly sharing these delightful joys with us. Frida is stunning; the cat sweater is brilliant. But the Sendack comment will keep me smiling all day!

I was particularly pleased with those three things. Sometimes the blog is so easy when things have turned up so serendipitously. 🙂

The Frida glass is stunning, but I have no doubt that if you put your mind to it you could create something equally beautiful. And that jumper is purrfect 😻

Yes, I love the jumper and will have to hone my skills to make anything quite so complicated. Thank you for your encouragement. 🙂
