The First Snowflake has Fallen

Today I can wow you with my lack of accomplishments. It was a definite 'I can't be arsed' sort of day. In fact it has been so bad that the breakfast dishes that I couldn' be arsed to do this morning are still waiting. But they will get done before I go and pick the girls up from school. No need for them to find out the depths to which their mother has fallen. (Ha! Like they haven't seen it before!)

The only task I completed satisfactorily was the destruction of one Lindt bunny and a slight bloated, I think I had too much chocolate feeling. I managed that with exemplary perfection.

It is amazing how someone not in full time employment can fall prey to the I Hate Mondays syndrome.

I did manage a little sewing though, between reading emails, watching Bargain Hunt (I am not generally a day time telly sort of person) and eating that chocolate. I decided to go ahead with my tablerunner a bit more. So I sewed, and basted and then got out the perle cotton. This is the point that I lost the will to do anything, mostly because my needle threader - last seen in the hands of my eldest - has gone into that mysterious black hole of who knows where and I spent an hour trying to find it, unsuccessfully. By the time I gave up the hunt I was well and truly ready for that bunny.

So what little I have to show is this, a bit more border and one solitary snowflake. The first to fall around here this winter.

I like the narrow touch of red,
but when I put the idea out there in the swap it was a pretty even split between those who wanted it and those who didn't.
Obviously I chose to ignore those who didn't!

I may still add a little more detail to this snowflake.
Undecided.

Well then, it's after 3pm so I had best go do those breakfast dishes then. And head out into that chilly autumn weather. I'm quite happy here in the house, with the heat on, but I suppose if I didn't show up at the school there would be a certain point that the girls would get annoyed. Shame!
