We woke up to a white world this morning. Only it was the same white world as yesterday. Barely a flake fell during the night. So really the girls should have gone to school, but I made an executive decision that earned me major brownie points in their eyes. I decided not to take them.
Snow was forecast and I just knew that the schools would close. By not taking them in the first place I saved myself being called out by the school when the roads were less than nice, right?! Snow started but ever so lightly. I started feeling really guilty about the decision.
Then finally it started snowing properly. And by 10:30am the primary school was declaring that they would be shutting and half an hour later the secondary joined in the fun. Vindicated! Woohoo!

We do have proper snow hats,
she just chose to look more jolly. |
So a snow day meant a sew day. Happy, happy me. I set to with a vengeance and I got another Stitch Tease block made. This time a 25" square block for
Annabella. She asked for curves, and rich colours. I think I delivered, but again all I can show you is a heavily pixilated version. And a little bit of a tease for Annabella.
Finally, our postman came through
the snow,
the wind,
the blizzard conditions a bit of snow and delivered my
Moo stickers. Now all I have to do is keep the girls off them.
The stickers measure 7/8" and I do love them. I am rather fond of the close up of the hugs and kisses. I think it will be a nice way to seal a parcel.

Now that's looking better in the snow accumulation department :)
ReplyDeleteEmily looks tickled :D
Clever thinking missus, saved yourself a crappy journey twice. Score!
ReplyDeleteOur snow started properly at about 11am. We have a nice blanket now. The OH was told he would be working from home today, but as he already had holiday booked he decided to keep it as holiday so he could enjoy lazing around the warm house looking at the snow!
ReplyDeleteYour stickers have come out brilliantly. I agree about the hugs and kisses sticker, it would be lovely to get that on a swap parcel.
Hurrah for snow/sew days!
ReplyDeleteGreat decision.
ReplyDeleteLove the sneak peek of the block.
Happy sledging!
You bad, bad mother! ; ). ha, ha, great decision, well done, sometimnes its the little thingd our kids remember, and the special extra days of fun, they'll really appreciate it. And i see what you're doing with the stickers, trying to tempt me to get cute things, these are positively strokable, good choices, i still love, i quilt so i wont kill people, maybe I should have that tattooed on forehead, as a warning for others!! : )
ReplyDeleteMother's intuition paid off! Those stickers are really cute! Jxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Mum you are!
ReplyDeleteYoy I thought the quilt was really pixelated!!
Does baking gingerbread men count as housework?
Have a snowy weekend x
Sometimes you just need to enjoy the snow! I love your stickers, I am seriously thinking about placing an order.
ReplyDeleteexcellent call! I knew you were a rebel ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat decision! Sometimes you need to have fun in the snow!
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky snow day means a sew day! For me it means trying to keep two of them amused and out of trouble all day! So no sewing for me, but perhaps a little planning in my head when I give in to the lure of the television to keep them (my oldest at least) entertained... PS love the stickers
ReplyDeleteI think you should make a block in solids based on that pixelated one!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to make a snowman outside the front of my house but it's too dry and I can't get it to stick together, I hope you have good snow rather than the 3" of icing sugar we have
Now that's a proper snowfall!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove those Moo stickers.
Emily looks sooooo cute but look at my block!! I have an app that can unpixelate photos and I love it! Just kidding - but I'm super excited!!
ReplyDeleteGlad that everyone got to make the most of the snow day. Love the Moo Stickers. I came across some the other day when clearing up - unused - I'd forgotten I'd bought them.
ReplyDelete10/10 for foresight!
ReplyDeleteGood thinking! I think you may have to hide those stickers...
ReplyDeleteGlad that you saved yourself a journey. We have had nothing here - apart from a lot of warnings. Schools closed early, but so far nothing!!!
ReplyDeleteLike the look of Annabellas block
Smart mummy!
ReplyDeleteMother's intuition is never wrong. Good call on the self-made snow day.
ReplyDeleteLove those stickers and Bella's block is perfect!
you clever mama!
ReplyDeleteMy Canadian instincts told me to drive under the duvet this morning, but without proof of snow I wasn't getting any sympathy from anyone that would listen.... It took us over an hour to collect DD2 (normally a 20 minute round trip) and I made DH do the driving and I got to say "I told ya so!!" Next time there is an amber warning for snow, I'm diving under the duvet!!
ReplyDeleteMany happy children in the county, but lots of disappointed ladies as the Kaffe Fassett talk at Nene Quilters has had to be postponed.
ReplyDeleteLove your cards and stickers!
One of 'those' mum's are you?
ReplyDeleteLife is too short not to have a snow day. Good on you. Di x
ReplyDeleteStill no snow here lol Bitterly cold though with a freezing wind and below zero temps, but so dry we're not even getting frost on the cars, it's all very odd!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with the xo stickers!
Love the stickers!! I must get some stuff done so I can make more cards.
ReplyDeleteI would have definitely kept the girls home, sod driving in this weather.
good thinking batman!! Love the stickers, so cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat decision misses. Love those stickers, they look so very very cute.
ReplyDeleteAnd I took mine in but they were back again by midday! Maybe I'll learn one day!
ReplyDeleteI bought stickers last year - but didn't follow the instructions ...I've still got them!
I really enjoyed this post! I grew up in the country side of Quebec Canada, we had a lot of snow days, as you can imagine!
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked out in the end! I love
ReplyDeleteThose stickers, I need to get some :D
yippee yippee for moo stickers! you're so super cool.
