No craft shopping due to bad weather.

Its too cold and snowy here, its keeping me in, can't craft shop. Got some great punch needle books for Xmas so sorting some out to do soon for my next lap quilt.

Butterflies

This week I have seen loads of Butterflies, even the getting rare now days small Tortoiseshell, with many Peacocks and several Painted Ladies, also comma's and Gatekeepers, we have three Budleias in the garden so that might be the reason they just love them. Its nice to see them fluttering about we got loads of Small whites too, God help my Lettuce though.

Good Day

Had a great day today with a small disappointment went to a quilt shop and got the normal handful of fabric and some fab little house buttons perfect for my embroidery got lady birds too very small ones but couldn't get a Crazy Quilt book, Gonna have to buy on line I think, Shops don't seem to stock it seems still good outing as they have a fudge shop at the craft place so got a bag of that too and a sugar mouse

Snow came to nothing

We had snow recently but nothing like the snow the south got, we had a couple of days last week where it settled but only a cm or so, it snowed in the night a few times but was gone by the morning. It was not here long enough to take a photo. But they do say the worst is over now. Good for my Coventry friend who had loads of it. I would have liked photo's as they inspire me in my work.

BAD START TO A DAY.

I had a bad start to today woke up at 5.30am feeling sick, Was sick a couple of times but felt better later. I won a blog give away, it was a lovely surprise so when I get the bits I'll make something with them and pop up the picture here.

Feeling Cold

Its cold in here today as Hub is putting up a new light by the front door and has it open to plug in the drill, We did have a Solar one but there hasn't been enough sunlight to keep it powered up, so he's bought a nice lantern one that plugs in so he has had to drill the screw holes. Why do they do such things on the coldest day we've had in a while. Its like it has to be done now. He had the other one for a year before he put it up but only got this one a few days ago.

Feeling like Xmas

I'm feeling all Christmasy today spent the afternoon watching Miracle on 34th Street the 1994 copy with Richard Attenborough in it was great I love Christmas Films they are the smile through the tears kind of thing, anyway it got me well into the Christmas mood.
