Monday

Good morning.  Wasn't it cold yesterday!  The morning frost didn't disappear all day and overnight just added to it.  I was awake in the night so I watched a bit of the lunar eclipse but soon got back into bed again to warm up.  Although it's cloudy now, it was as clear as a bell through the night so there was a wonderful view which is great because I gather it's the last lunar eclipse for about ten years

Yesterday went OK.  I stayed warm, watched TV and knitted.  I'm getting the hang of these little mice now, I think.  The trick is in the stuffing and the making up - both quite fiddly and, unlike the Jean Greenhowe ones, you mustn't stuff too firmly.

I still think they are cute.  That lantern is dinky.


Today is supposed to be quite busy but I'm not going to push it.  I've just cancelled tuition and have sent an email to school letting them know I won't be coming.

Earlier on I do need to do a bit of shopping but that will be the extent of my fresh air today.
Stay warm, everyone, it's bitter out there.

    1. I think they will make nice little gifts for litte friends from time to time and I bet they would like some in foundation stage to play with. They are washable.

  3. The mice are lovely - how tall are they? It's difficult to get an idea of scale. It's not quite as cold here, thank goodness, but I don't plan to venture outside. I'm having another few easy days in the warm.

    1. It is, I agree - they are about five and a half to six inches tall.
      I'm glad you're keeping warm and sheltered.

  4. It is a cold and frosty morning here, so I'm wrapped up well and the heating keeps turning itself on. The mice are so lovely. I'm not sure if I missed it but did you mention how big they are?
    Stay cosy. X

    1. About five and a half to six inches tall. It's hard to tell from a photo, isn't it?

  6. Those are so cute! Are they tough to make? I'm a beginner knitter and they always look so intimidating!

    1. I have to admit, they are pretty fiddly. Not the easiest things I have ever made.

  7. It was like the D Day invasion, says LeVangie. Now there more families, better security, and the players are fan friendly. They give the kids gum, sunflower seeds and baseballs. Even for us moderately inclined hummingbird types, it can be difficult to live in an early bird world, particularly if you lack a taste for caffeine laden coffee. Many couples find it challenging to live with someone on the opposite spectrum, since most of us like to share more than a couple of waking hours with our significant others. Whether you're hoping to beat that nauseatingly chipper guy to the promotion or avoid a "ships passing in the night" sort of relationship, there are ways to adjust your internal clock accordingly..
