frosty, cold & beautiful

Hello again
I just had to take pictures of the beautiful white scenery outside my house this morning.

Nature just leaves you breathless doesn't it.  I wasn't the only person this morning who thought the view was worth recording.  A car pulled up outside our house & a man got out & took a photo of the same view as I did. Some of the photos are taken over my back garden too - the one where you can see part of a brick wall on the right hand side is the view across my back garden.  That lovely big tree is in a neighbours garden.

I did do some card making today - 2 Christmas Cards for the States, a masculine birthday card plus a thinking of you card.  Sadly I didn't take photos of them as they all had to go in the post today & Bob was waiting to go to the post office as I was finishing them.

My workshop due to take place tomorrow has been cancelled as there was only one lady booked on it - I was due to show how to make bags & boxes.  A new workshop I am starting in 2011 is "Learning to crochet" - so sat in front of the TV over the next few weeks I will be preparing stitch samples & writing notes. Evidently there are already 3 people booked onto it.  It's been a while since I did any crochet so it will be quite good fun getting ready.  Whilst trying to find where I had put all my crochet hooks I looked inside a wicker storage box (which is where I thought they might be) - to find that what was inside was loads of wool.  So! looks like I will have to find things to crochet to use it all up.  Interesting find but my hooks were not there, although I did find one in my sewing box, so I can get started. I am quite looking forward to it - I think that sometimes giving yourself something new to do - (even if you have done it some time before) - can lift your creativity in other areas.  Well! thats' my theory anyway.

That's me for today - I have been thinking that I might turn some of those pictures above into cards - very appropriate for Christmas, don't you think?
