Morning all.
Snow melting here after a ridiculous amount of panicking yesterday ( well I was quite panicked when I thought I wouldn’t be able to drive home from work - but there was nothing to worry about ) All schools closed early and my son missed his bus and just ‘hung out’ somewhere or other :roll_eyes: I worried that I may have to drive in the snow to get him but he appeared eventually ,disappointed with the pathetic amount of snow.
Sounds like your daughter had much more fun Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery Not so sure the staff did though!
Hope your day with your mum goes ok Sarah @thedotterypotter Good on your son with his little adventure last night :smile:
Hope all ok . Hope you can get some food and goodies in today Chris @ChrisStoneArtist Enjoy the weekend.

Not able to take the car out so far as the roads around here haven’t been gritted and they have literally turned into sheet ice. I walked to my local ALDI doing my Bambi on the frozen lake impersonation. Still need to source some cat food (my cat refuses to eat ALDI cat food, or anything apart from Felix).
Love the mug @MartinShackletonCeramics.
Charming polar bear @BabanCat.
Lovely jewellery today @DeborahJonesJewellery, @carolinefrodsham, @MaisyPlum and @erkinwald.

Well I didnt make it to Dublin - flight was cancelled. I started out but was actually quite pleased when I got the cancellation text as roads were horrendous. Unfortunately by the time I turned back the road home was closed so had to take a very circuitous route and took an age but I decided to stick to the main roads as I dont think my little car would have managed any of the country cut throughs! Its a shame but we will just have to book another time.

Went to see a property to let this morning - only about 100yds from where I am now and ideal so fingers crossed I pass all the referencing/credit checks etc. As a bonus it has a large brick built outhouse with power and water that would make an ideal workshop :slight_smile:

Afternoon

Oooo lots of snow about down south, hope everyone ok and Chris @ChrisStoneArtist you managed to get some Felix!!! without any more bambi moments!!!

No more snow here but what is laying is frozen and some of the paths quite treacherous where it has compacted into ice.

Just fed the birds and didn’t even get in the house before they were down

Just a relist, sorry

Max @MaxPringJewellery, a huge thank you for another month and organising everything, don’t know how you do it, but it is greatly appreciated

Afternoon all
Can I start my tally off with 1 sale please Max @MaxPringJewellery

Been meaning to say @PollysWares your little knitted outfits are adorable, I can just picture my son as a baby (now 22) in the green one you listed a couple of days ago.

Hope you can reschedule Roz @OrchardFelts , the little house with workshop sounds ideal!

made me fill quite sick for a few moments when I saw how much extra they wanted Natalie…
I gave up the auction site before CHristmas but will have to go back to it to get some extra cash to pay this hike.
Ironically the gas man was here this afternoon to service the boiler and I mentioned the increase and he just shrugged and said…".everything is expensive these days."…sheesh. I feel sorry for pensioners who are already struggling and am thankful that I have a way to earn a little bit to help with my pension…x

Chris @ChrisStoneArtist, I imagine you’ve got lots of snow. I saw Bodmin Moor on the News this morning with all the people stuck on the A30 and stranded motorists sleeping on mattresses in the restaurant of the Jamaica Inn. If I ever got stranded in the snow, I’d like my refuge to be the Jamaica Inn! :rofl:

Roz @OrchardFelts such a shame about your Dublin trip. The property you viewed this morning sounds ideal, particularly with a workshop. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it all works out.

No snow here in Derbyshire. We’re in the south of the county so we didn’t get snow earlier in the week like they did in the Peak district (well we got a sprinkling but not much) and we were a little bit too far north for last night’s snow. Those who have snow, stay safe and warm.

My new listing today is another appliqué tote bag - this time it’s a llama.

Just realised it is the start of a new month, hope February is kind to you all. I’m not sure how many more items I have to list on the thread, mmm should have listed in an organised order, maybe a week which is a shame but going back onto bear making so will only have one item or so a week :confused: perhaps when I start some smaller bits again I can return, been nice getting to know you all a little. We have some snow flurries nothing much though.
@OrchardFelts really hope the house viewing goes well, fingers crossed it goes through.
Thank you to those who left kind comments re my commission bear yesterday, my customer has seen the photos and is thrilled with it…still no name though!
My listing is a cross stitch picture
