white weekend

Brrrrrrrr .....

It's CHILLY round these parts
but Oh So Pretty
like wonderland
 I think most of the UK has snow, doesn't it?

I hope you've managed to stay warm and cosy and safe

we have been VERY lazy here

it has been good though

Mr Sweet & I ventured out for a couple of snowy walks this weekend

I was glad of my new PINK coat

Yes PINK! 

Oh the joy

We left our lovely boy snug in bed and off we went

Snowy garden .....

There has been a little crochet too

remember the ‘rhubarb crumble’ blanket?
It has been very neglected till recently.

In my mind I had almost finished the squares
felt like I had hooked up around 200

but in reality I hadn't.

Out of the 180 squares that I decided I needed, only 54 had been made

Rubbish. I know.
I was shocked

I'm going to try a complete a granny a day …..

There has been a little owl~ing going on too

My lovely G has been requesting that I make some owls for ages

but somehow I never got around to them

every now and then .....

lovely G ~ "Mum, are you going to make an owl?"

Me ~ "Yes, lovely ..... soon"

lovely G ~ "Mum, you said you were going to make an owl"

Me ~ "I will .....soon"

That went on for a year or so

anyway they are nearly here

AT LAST

it took a few goes to get the shape right
the ears?
the eyes?
the beak?

No. 6 got the thumbs up from my panel of expert voters

(thanks guys)
 

Thank you for all of your sweet comments on 

Professor Twinkle & Mr Starry Sky

my lovely boy helped out with the names too

credit where credit is due

they are good names, don't you think?

I am hoping to have some hooting off to my shop by the end of this week

 There has also been lots of TV watching
whilst eating chocolates left over from Christmas
I LOVED this film

I'd read the book a while ago and the film didn't disappoint

and my perfect TV line-up last night .....
Call the midwife and then Mr Selfridge
Bliss

Sweet B is in the middle of her exams

she has one this morning
right now as it happens
my stomach is doing loop the loops for her

she has one tomorrow morning and then one Wednesday morning

poor thing she is very stressed and run down

she's a dedicated little thing

I just don't know how she does it

she has been revising from 9am till 8 pm
almost everyday since just after Christmas

She has used:
2 1/2 A4 note pads (200 pages per pad)
I think around 300 record cards
and run down 2 1/2 biro pens
she is concerned that she has a dent in her writing finger
I am surprised she has a writing finger left!

I can't wait to have her home to take care of her as only a mum can
GOOD LUCK SWEETIE
