It's been a busy week and the weekend has also seen me rushing around. I have not had much time to either read all your lovely posts or indeed do one myself.

In the week I managed to make this.

He is made from felt and I embroidered it too.

I got the idea from this book. I do like him and want to try some other colours and with different decorations.

I also went a little crazy and made some more button hearts. They are so fun to make. A little fiddly but very worthwhile.

The snow has all but gone now. I must say it is nice to see the green fields again. The brown slush at the side of the road is a little less appealing. There is still plenty of 6 foot snowdrifts over the 'tops' and I hear there is more to come on Wednesday!

I've stocked up on bird food this weekend too. They are eating us out of house and home.

We went for a walk today over in Saddleworth.

Hull Mill Pond was frozen and the ducks and geese were no where to be found.

The thaw has meant the river was running fast and high. That water looked so cold.

I found a patch or two of snow to show how long my shadow is in this weak winter sun.

Unfortunately I will be unable to read any blogs or post anything at all this week. Due to some family commitments I will be away from a computer. So have a good week everybody and see you all next weekend.
