There's snow place like Gnome


(Sorry, I just couldn't resist that title.)
Our garden looks quite nice today. There's still plenty of stuff lying around that shouldn't be, but under this lovely thick white blanket it's hard to tell the buckets from the planters LOL

This photo was taken around 3.30pm. My foot print is about 3"-4" deep,
but there is another couple of inches compacted below too.

Poppy the dog loves it too, but the photo of her is too blurry to use,
not quite sure if she was moving too fast or I was shivering too much.


I love the look of the shrubs too
(hope my neighbour doesn't mind her house being on show oooppss),


but not the look of the fence after a car crashed through it.
Still, I suppose these things happen, and this certainly did!

........................................

On another note, my blanket is coming along nicely. I've started joining the squares.
Not a job I love but it has to be done.
After I've joined 81, I shall decide exactly how I want it to look,
whether I need more squares, how to edge it, etc. But so far I'm quite pleased with it
.

Thank you to my lovely, beautiful friend Angel for another award.
Bless her, not only is she helping to raise lots of much needed money for a children's project in Nakuru, Kenya
(Kids in Need is about building a home for orphaned children who's lives were devastated in the awful troubles there last year).
not only that, but she has taken it upon herself to keep the manufacturers of certain ladies product in business during the recession.
How good is that!!!!!!!!
Actually, on that subject, I must say thank you to Debbie at Shabby Chic Cafe for making the KiN project the charity of the year.
If anyone would like to know more, please pop along to the Cafe
or leave a comment on Shabby Angel's blog.


With love and blessings in Christ Elaine xxxxxxxxxxxxx

LOVELY to see you are posting more BM!!!

The garden and the gnome look wonderful covered in snow and I am amazed by your crochet work ... I wish I could do that. I seem to be fine with knitting but crochet kind of works for me but only for a bit.

Keep up the good work.
love Sandie xxxxxxxxx
