It Wasn't Much...


... but it was enough to get the girls out of bed without a grumble this morning. Amazing, the power of snow! Even as little as this. What on earth will my two do if they ever get the chance to see a proper Canadian snow storm? What will I do, for that matter? (It has been a long time since I have seen a 'real' winter.)


Meanwhile, the making continues. Today I have been doing some sewing. And making more garland. I am sort of in mass production. And I would have more bunting if I hadn't forgotten I need yarn to crochet it all together, and used every last bit of yarn making mini stars. Ooops!

Forgive the truly ick carpet.
Rental properties rarely come with nice carpet.

  14. So there's your answer. Just make sure you lay in a supply of snow so you can get the girls out of bed every morning!

    Gorgeous stars and a ton of them too...you have been a busy gal today.

  15. I went for lunch and the snow had just started a little. 2" over lunch, I had to change to my boots to brush off the car as my shoes were under the snow and getting wrecked. Still coming down. I could send you some. Enjoy the lovely winter you are having there.

  16. It has been so hot here that I would love to see some snow - even if it was only a small amount! Your star garland looks lovely with the twine!

  21. There is a place that all rental places buy their paint and carpets, there must be! My house was newly carpeted just before we moved in with the exact same carpet as you have! I actually don't mind it though, my last place had cream carpets... Cream carpets + newborn growing to toddler = not good! This one so far has hidden every drink I have spilt on it ;) (I'm easily just as messy as my toddler!)

  25. I've never seen snow. Don't get it in my part of Australia. My brother has spent much of the last 6 years living in London and Canada, and much prefers the Canadian weather. His comment was it might be -15 but at least the sun still shines. Apparently England has grey skies and rains a lot!

  26. Wasn't there a 'real' winter 2 years ago? We nearly couldn't land at Bristol, there was so much snow (you know, a couple of inches!) Perhaps you need to go to Canada - just to check there is still snow there!
