... it's cold! It's only mid November and we've had sleet, gales, fog, freezing fog and nitheringly cold nights and days - the cold soaking right into the bones. Good job I've plenty of lovely blankets and cushions to snuggle up under/against. At least my son's girlfriend appreciates my efforts:
I've been quite busy in the evenings with my wool stash but can't show anything until nearer THE TIME. Went for a little bimble around Helmsley on Sunday with sister, Anne and bought a spiced plum candle - every time I light it Will goes 'mmmmm, smells like Christmas'. I'm so thrilled that my boys love all things Christmassy as much as me. We decided to have a Sunday off from the crafting although I did make us an apron each from all the throw and bunting scraps. What do you think? I feel festive just looking at it.
Anne just wants to know if Santa's going to bring her a waist for Christmas. Me, I suspect that my waist is gone for good so I am dressing accordingly (am soooo loving the leggings/woolly tights and boots look at the moment. Long may it last, although I think the elasticated waists (both mine and the leggings) may be responsible for an ever increasing waistline). I dread the day I have to put my jeans back on!!
Thanks to Kirsty I now want to make a Kiss cross stitch cushion
(although Anne and I both agreed that it seemed more like tapestry than cross stitch) - where am I going to find time to fit that in?
Hope you are keeping warm and well.
