January

Well, thank you so much for the lovely comments about Sammy the Snake!  Much appreciated, as always!

What have I been up to in January?  Well...


... I am now on the border of the Waterlily Blanket!!  It's been a long time coming!  Nearly there now - I hope to show it off fully before long!  (All ends from the squares are sewn in, which was NOT a fun job!  There were soooooo many!)


My new Christmas funky wellies got their first trip out in the snow last weekend!  That was a walk out to the local shop to get a few snacks - during which we found some daffodils reduced to 40p...


I plonked them in a jar, and tied some ribbon round - simple but pretty.  They lasted for days as well, not bad for 40p!  (I didn't leave them on the floor - was just trying to get a picture with some decent light on them, and no junk in the background, ha!)

I baked some cookies while it snowed outside...


Cookies and tea - yum!


I used this recipe and they came out really well!

I must also show off this mug, which was a Christmas present from my Gran.  I love it!


It's a Dunoon one, fine bone china.  It's just so pretty!

Bye for now... better carry on with that border!!!

  2. I admire your stamina, I have so many projects awaiting finishing. I look forward to seeing your beautiful blanket finished in all its woolly glory! Your cookies look yummy, but I LOVE the tea set you have with them, such pretty colours, and your mug is pretty too. Well done, Granny - good choice!
    I have been enjoying a few bunches of daffs recently too, they remind you that spring is just around the corner, hooray! I guess with all that snow it might feel just a little further away the that!
