...ok, it`s only my birdhouse embedded in the snow but quite honestly, I`m expecting to get up tomorrow morning and find I can`t see out of my bedroom window! It hasn`t stopped snowing all day! I did venture down to the local shop for provisions ...
....but since there was no bread left, I decided to make my own - still waiting for dough to `prove` so might post pics later - along with a huge pot of lentil soup - nothing like it for keeping chills at bay.
Remember that pic of my lovely Acer Japonica which I had on here a couple of weeks ago?Well, this is what it looked like this morning.....
poor wee thing!One thing about being snowbound is you can get things done without any interruptions....no-one else can get out either! So I`ve been busy with the crochet hook this weekend (should`ve been the sander and varnish for my kitchen floor but just couldn`t work up the enthusiasm!) making some Xmas stuff, which is much more fun!...
...a couple of hats (I`ve since adapted the brown one with a wider brim and flower attached).
Back to work tomorrow - since I don`t drive a tractor, my boss is coming to collect me - not so sure how I`ll get home!
A tiny bit of good news whilst watching the snow falling all day....I won another fabulous Giveaway!
....this beautiful cowl from Nicky over at http://alifelikevera.blogspot.com/ - isn`t it so pretty and her blog is great too. Pop over and have a look. Can`t wait to wear it - providing the Postman is able to get through! Thanks Nicky for letting me take part in your Giveaway. You certainly brightened my day :)Keep Warm and Safe Everyone xxx
Like your snowflakes. We are expecting snow Tuesday afternoon. Pleased to see you are doing Tuesday thru the Window - I am going to join in. take care in that snow Nana. xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike! I made bread a couple of days ago, it tasted fine butr didn't rise as much as I would like. Oh well, practice makes perfect (and for a larger waist band!)

My goodness! that is a lot of snow! Hope you are safe and well .
ReplyDeleteLove the pressies and the cute neckwarmer...you will be needing it! x
Well done...the hats are gorgeous. Is there a pattern for the snowflake I could nick??
ReplyDeleteLove all the crochet things you made, they look great! The snowflakes are especially lovely! Congratulations on your win as well, it's beautiful! :) x
ReplyDeleteHi Nana! Hope you're all cosy up there! I'm a bit worried about you getting back from work. Love the crocheting! You're looking a bit pale there though! We got a thin layer of snow overnight...Little J and I were sooo excited! Have a great day. Loads of love, Amanda xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Nana, sorry I have taken so long to get back to you...I would love you to take part in my Pay it Forward, how lovely! :-)
ReplyDeleteNow all you have to do is email me your postal address and wait for me to send your parcel (excitement) I will say that it won't be before xmas though but it will be within 365 days! Maybe I had better send it after the snow?? ;-)
You will also need to do a post like I did telling everyone about PIF and the rules. first 3 replies, 365 days, post on blog and promise to send a gift on, I think thats it :-)
Look forward to hearing from you, hugs Jen
PS You have been as busy as I have with the xmas presents...I only have about 1/2 a dozen to go now!!!
Your hats are so cute...and the snowflake is just darling. Try to stay warm!
ReplyDeleteOkay seriously. What do I have to do to get one of those fabulous hats??? And the wrist warmers are SO cute! How do I get on your Christmas list??? I wish I could send you food for payment...but I don't know that it would travel that far. Man those hats are cute. Great job!
