Burns Night - 25 January

A veggie haggis, addressed by Harry, great company - Rita and Kevin, Anne and Dave - followed by apple crumble.

Rainbow stripes

Not quite tartan paint...

I've been able to knit in spite of a bout of conjunctivitis which has caused blurred vision in my left eye.
Having a little more trouble with crochet, but then it's ages since I tried. Threading the sewing machine is also proving tricky. I think it's beginning to improve, but it could take a little while.

The year moves forward

A few snowdrops beginning to show in Exton.

and inside I have Tête-à-tête daffodils. the pots have been outside since last year, and I brought them inside when the buds began to appear a few days ago.


There are lots more in troughs outside, but it will be a while before they flower.

meanwhile outside...

Primulas appearing among the weeds

Snowdrops budding

Aconites (and nettles) thriving.

Woolly warmers

Plants again

The azalea has a few more flowers

The hyacinth still scents the room

The kalanchoe is also flowering again

More flooding in the Welland valley

A bag made from an old folding chair

just the fabric of course.

and wrist warmers...

Something easy to make as Christmas presents.

Bags, bags...

Some reused material to make gift packaging for toiletries

Most of this is William Morris material - not the very bright fabric. New, for Christmas presents

Bags with goodies

The sewing machine in use making Morsbags from donated fabric.
