Grrrr I HATE the snow, yes it is pretty to look at but doing a 2 mile round trip twice a day with a buggy to school is not my idea of fun, my poor arms, shoulders and back are aching now :0(
We had a quiet weekend, I sorted out some cupboards on Saturday and organised my charts into envelope folders and sorted my yarn out, then kitted up a few designs, firstly a gift for my Mum for Mother’s Day, my SAL with Michelle which we start the first Friday of March and a birthday secret stitch. Saturday evening I finished my February Christmas ornament for the SAL over at Christmas All Year Round and also my iStitch Sew Mystery Pin Cushion which watch the modern dramatisation on Ben Hur which I recorded over Christmas.

Yesterday we had a DVD day, I managed some dishcloth knitting and then started the stitching on my Mum’s gift whilst watching `Time Traveller’s Wife’
Prairie Moon Sampler UFO had a little work done on it too (excuse the crumples)
I have started my next study book, which is Cultural Encounters, the first 2 chapters is about Benin in Africa, will make a start on that this evening….
Have a good week and stay warm!

Your pincushion and ornament look lovely Elisa. I've started my ornament today at craft club.
Oh I remember the days of struggling through the snow with a buggy! Not much fun at all.
Hi Elisa,
Some super stitching I love that scrunched ribbon trim on the mystery pin cushion.. did you scrunch it yourself or buy it scrunched? I 'll send you that Bothy Thread Buzzy Days chart as I rarely stitch a chart a second time..email me your address as I think the one I have is your old one.
Lovely to read you're enjoying your course, well done!
I can commerate with the push chair in the snow as my daugher now 46, ssshh don't tell anyone her age or they'll know my age!!LOL She started school in the January in snow...
I had to dress three small boys as well to take her and it took nearly 40 mins each day just dressing them. I had a twin pushchair and loaded them in then walked to the school which was 3/4 of a mile away and up hill, it was hard going!No wonder I was slim!!

Your Prairie Moon WIP is lovely also.
