o0o we had just got rid of most of our snow here, and I have woken up to another winter wonderland!! All roads into town at a standstill and I can sit here at my p.c looking out my french windows that back onto my back garden and it looks so beautiful. Just tried to encourage the cat to go outside.. she didn't want to lol

Traffic is at a standstill all routes into Sutton Coldfield and the snow is quite bad, so I would say they would completely understand honey xxx

Thankyou! I hope so! I feel sorry for my friends who have exams this afternoon, the novelty of this snow has worn off now i just want it to go away.

Oh well maybe I can get on with some form of crafting today, and of course revision

Hi all,

Yuo have all given me so many ideas. Thanks loads. I am determined to be more organised this year and make more gifts. I currently have loads of projects either on the go or planned! At the moment I am trying to finish a scraf for my SIL for her birthday which is next Friday and I am going to try and knit a matching hat and gloves for her as well but not sure if I will have time. :eek:

then I have just realised its my friend's 30th birthday in February. I knew her birthday was coming up but had completely forgotten how old she was going to be, so now I am trying to knit her a teddy cat as she loves cats. My 7 year old DD1 is also helping and is knitting the scarf and hat for the cat. I was going to make her some baileys chocolate truffles but I wanted to make something special for her birthday - any ideas anyone!

The knitting isn't going brilliantly, I'll be honest. I might just buy a hat and scarf

I've got a great little DIY craft on my blog today HERE it isn't for Christmas but I bet you'd all love one! I really want to make one!

I saw a very similar thing recently, I think it was someone's photos of their craft room. I could really do with something like that....

looks good!!! I recognise the fabric too. It's from Globaltex i think.:D if its the one i'm thinking it comes in a lovely blue (or green or taupe or pink) with white spots and has matching floral designs which are cute too!! i may have a go at making one
how big is this one roughly? must be 30cm x 40cm ish i would guess? :rolleyes:
