time in the garden

 Some of the snowdrops.The pot have blueberry's in,I do not have the right soil to plant them in the ground.

The brown leafs in the background are covering a Hedgehog house,I do not know if some one is sleeping there.

This next photo is looking at the snowdrops in front of a tree that is my Grandson's den when it is in leaf.


I have had a good 2 hrs work in the garden to-day and have got half of it tided ,the rest can wait for another

day.
              I just had to start to put together some of the 110 block.

Just a bit of fiddling

After going through my stash I found some  red satin

and the other bright blue/green/red fabric.


I then decided thy would make nice small clutch bag.

After doing the two clutch bags I then thought of the other bag.

I did not have a pattern so had to work it out as I went.

I think its O.K.

I have added hart button to divide for the outside pockets and to

attach the lining.

Next month See's the start of the Town Hall craft fairs so

I will have some new thing to show.
---------------

Well the snow has gone so no chance of snow dying

as I do not have any dyes.

I will have to get some in  for the next time.

Got there and back in one piece

I arrived home in one piece,it was down to -11 when I went.

The temperature in Norfolk was not as low as Lis had in

Linconshire.

The market was poorly attended due to the weather I think.

I did manage to sell one of my bag's ( to another stallholder).

I have 2 days out sewing for Linus and a day with a friend..,

to-morrow I will do some for myself.

I have a problem with Flicker on my blog

so do try looking me up just on Flicker.

 I just hope the roads are not to ice as it is cross country for me.

  I will be disappointed if we do not get any visitors.

     -------------------------------------------------

We have new members joining this year with some interesting

crafts.

It arived on Q

Just as predicted this duly arrived last night. The bird tables are under cover
but still got a covering of snow.

There have been more birds then last week at the Big Bird Count.

My pond has been frozen all week so have been putting out water

ever day.

                 -----------------------------------

With the weather like this I am thank full of a BIG stash of fabric.

I will start looking through and see where I go with inspiration.

I look forward to looking at blogs from the southern hemisphere.

To see the Sunshine.

Keep safe till next time.
