Snow! (and jewellery and gloves)

January 8, 2010 5:07 am

Friday 8th January

I’ve been amiss with my photos lately, so this is a bit of a catch up!  Firstly though – we’ve finally had some snow!  Here in Barry we have been watching the news as though we were in a bubble separate to the rest of the country, absolutely nothing.  Tuesday night that all changed and Wednesday saw us building a huge snowman and sledging on our trusty tray at the local park!  Fandabi-dosy!!

The snow was so thick we couldn’t find anything to decorate him, hence the white on white effect we went for!

For every plus there has to be a minus – we are now on day 3 of the boys off school, the snow still hasn’t melted but frozen and living at the bottom of a steep hill means lots of painting, hide and seek, telly and the odd bit of fighting, actually, being honest, lots of fighting at the minute – having boys is like having dogs I imagine, they need lots of fresh air and exercise!

However, they are occupied at present so I have a few moments.  The secret santa that Vonnieorganised was wonderful.  I received a gorgeous necklace off glamglass

as well as a beautiful Christmas tree decoration, brooch and selection box for the (very happy) boys!

I sent mine to Ali of craftmatters and luckily she loved it, Ali and her family are big into Christmas, so I made her a Christmas tree decoration, and the boys did too, a notebook and she loves baking so a Christmas cookie cutter in a little bag.

Well, my monsters are stirring so my time is up – hopefully next post I’ll be able to show some crochet…
