So we had a snow day after all - spent most of yesterday fretting that we wouldn't have any, and now I'm fretting that we have so much I won't be able to make it to work tomorrow! Today was my day off, and having cancelled the planned trip to London to meet a friend, I spent the day relaxing, it was lovely. I also went for a walk, which was incredibly peaceful and interrupted only by the 'splat' of snow falling off trees.
However, true to form I couldn't resist playing with some of the beads I got for Christmas, and a combination of some large-holed glass beads, a knitted flower (designed and made by my Gran!, organza ribbon in a beautiful pale gold and a wonderful little flower clasp turned into this:
I'm rather pleased with it, and it will be living with me as all its components were presents :D May have to sneak a few similar ones onto Folksy though :D Perhaps on the next Snow Day?
I was also planning to bake cupcakes. brownies and a giant cupcake today, but unfortunately we have no eggs - the hens aren't laying, we have none in the fridge and a walk to the One-Stop discovered they'd run out as well. Fail. Another thing to go on the next Snow Day list, I think!
Otherwise has been a rather lovely day, outside is a bit perilous but inside crafting is as safe and cosy as one could possibly wish for!
