Winter Outside, Spring Inside :o)

More snowy weather for us here in Englands' Midlands. We woke this morning to a covering of snow and beautiful blue skies. As I glanced over the moor's I saw another snowstorm approaching - it was quite surreal really, blue skies above and that funny pinky/gray that spells snow approaching. Right now it is bucketing down, we cannot see beyond the end of our garden.  Severe weather warnings have once again been issued - it seems that we still have a long way to go before spring arrives.

However I've been feeling spring in my heart and this past weekend I spent some time sewing up a new spring inspired ruffle for the kitchen window.

Hot house daffodils are in all the stores at the moment and I could not resist buying a few bunches. Their colour and aroma are just heavenly, such a wonderful winter tonic. I love how the yellow stands out against the white snow.

and finally, I started this patchwork quilt 3 years ago. It hadn't quite turned out the way I wanted and I found that I was totally uninspired to finish it. This weekend I decided to turn it into a table cloth for the kitchen table. I'm pleased with the result and glad that I have managed to shelve one of those UFO's!
