Wednesday

Good morning, everyone.  It's a fine, bright morning but I have no idea how cold it is as I overslept and haven't been out yet.

I finished teddy yesterday.  He's worked out really cute, don't you think?


Now I am making a pair of snowmen - Mr and Mrs Frosty.  Probably gifts for next Christmas, one way or another.

It was obviously the occasion for cute things as over New Year Beth gave me, as a Christmas present (remember, she'd been ill over Christmas), two little fabric owls that are so cute that I think she could easily refine them a bit and sell them.  Well, not them, they're mine, but the idea.  The colours never come out well on my Christmas tree, sorry.
Beth stayed until late morning but Alex hung on for a couple more hours before I drove him home.  It was lovely having them over.  Al is off to uni today, to get on with some coursework, bless him.  I'm very glad I don't have pressures like that!

Everything got thoroughly neglected yesterday so today is a 'getting the house back into order' day.  Looking around, it really isn't that bad but everything needs a bit of tweaking and the carpet certainly needs a good sweep over.  I didn't get the sheets done yesterday so they are on the list for today too.
And it's a new month so I must check the bank statement, move any excess across to savings and generally get it all in order again.

Life is well and truly back to normal again, thank goodness.

I know a number of readers are not well at the moment so I wish them a speedy recovery.  There's a lot of bugs going the rounds - always are at this time of year.  And to all of us - have a fantastic day, whatever you intend to do.

    1. That'#s a kind thing to say, thank you. I just follow instructions to get it right but Beth - she's got the creativity in her soul. We both get a good deal of pleasure from it all too.

  2. Teddy is very cute and the owls are so lovely. Beth is very creative.
    I'm still in my 'neglecting the house' phase, so we're going out for a walk today. X

  3. I think you should start a craft stall - you make some lovely things. My house needs some care and attention today too! x

    1. Well, Beth is in the process of forming a small 'company' - properly and legally, I mean. Once it is properly up and running, I will be breaking my no adverts rule to plug what she is making and selling. So fingers crossed and watch this space! And thank you - that's so encouraging.
      I hope the house-stuff goes well.
