Some Winter Sights.



Some sights from the last few days: bright cotoneaster berries



A single berry fallen on icy crystals



Dark purple ivy backlit by early morning sunshine



Fun in the snow



Gotcha!



A little girl who couldn't bear snowball fights in the February downfall now races to pelt us all. Funny how things change.



The strangeness of delicate sugar-pink flowers of the Ballerina rose against chilly sky



Biscuit having a stretch to work out the cold from her feathers.



That's better, I am ready for my close up. She is such a pretty girl isn't she?



And finally, a snuggle down under soft quilts in even softer pyjamas



and a play on the sofa with teddies and bunnies close to hand



while dave and I knitted by the fire - me feeling sooo cosy in my new pj's...bliss.



Stay warm won't you? xx

P.S. for those who asked, the Crofter wool in the last post knits up in Fairisle type patterns without the bulk of Fairisle (though I do love knitting true Fairisle too). Pop to Tracy's pretty blog over at Cupcakes at Home as this is where I first saw it being used...just gorgeous! x

  12. Your beautiful quilt again - I feel quite bitten by the quilt bug at the moment.

    Those pyjamas look beautiful and the idea of knitting with one's husband...how completely dreamy. x

  19. I have used Crofter a lot - it works really well. I love your winter sights - unfortunately our snow has been accompanied by pewter skies, so not so good for pics!
