And it snowed ....



On Friday there was snow.......On Saturday there was a bit more snow ....
and then there was today !!! We have had about 9 inches of snow overnight. But at least the car park at the office was quiet
and the roads home quiet too.
Ideal for a bit of sewing. When I bought the red ric rac the gentleman in RE where I bought it asked what I was going to make with it. I was just adding it to my stash in case I ever got snowed in and had a ric rac emergency. On Sunday Jenny had just such an emergency when making this Christmas stocking - can you guess Harvey is a dog?
I made yet another Quilted Hottie and Magic tried to run off with it to her hutch.

Something beginning with R



Something Beginning with R is the theme for a fancy dress party Jenny is going to in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately we are living with the box in the middle of the dining table until then.
The dining table also doubles up as my sewing table as it is too cold to sew in the conservatory in the winter. This is what has been on my sewing table this week. Another Quilted Hottie ...
....And another ...
and another apron.. a birthday present for Janet... as seen in last week's sneak preview.

And this weeks scenic shot is Prudhoe Castle taken through the autumn leaves a couple of weeks ago. Today it has been so wet and dark - not a day for the camera and SNOW is forecast- Oh No.

Can you guess what it is yet?

Can you guess what it is yet? When I visited my DS last week I was intrigued to guess what on earth she was knitting.
...............................................A lovely pair of mittens ready for winter!!

.............................But last Saturday was a lovely Autumn day down by the river. Warm in the sunshine but cold in the shade!

.....................................................and those autumn colours!!


On Sunday we visited Helen again at Busy bees studio Christmas open day.

The trouble with going to Busy Bees is the congestion on the access road. These two adorable calves were causing a jam on the track down to the farm.


.................................................And lots of irresistible Christmas goodies.

.................................................And I have been doing a little bit of sewing.


Now I'm off to watch Kirsty's Homemade Home on Channel 4 - she's doing patchwork tonight.
