Frost, Freezing Fog and a Finish

I know we English are obsessed with the weather but that's because we have weather (and not climate).  Awoke to freezing fog and minus 13 this morning so you're going to be treated to another batch of photos, just to make my friends in the Southern Hemisphere feel glad about their stifling heat and humidity!

As my friend, Sal, pointed out we are very fortunate to still have a doorstep milk delivery here (although it costs us 64p a pint for the privilege) but I don't think this pint will be useable.  As well as the milk being frozen the bottle is shattered!
Last night I sat in front of the fire and stitched the binding on this quilt.

It's another version of Fat Quarter Frenzy and was made with the birthday FQs sent to me by my lovely Global Piecers friends last year.  I hope you approve ladies.  It's called "One of a Brace" in reference to the pheasants on some of the fabrics and yes, there will be a partner to make up the brace, eventually!
Have a great weekend, I'm off to make a mug of hot chocolate and then work on another quilt.

 These spiders could do with insulating their homes....

Even though we are very cold today and more snow is forecast there are plenty of signs that Spring is on the way...

Today I'm staying indoors and tending DH and the fire.  I've borrowed an idea from Angela and have a bowl of eco-dyeing sitting on top of the woodburner.  It's the last of the poinsettia flowers and leaves, a little remnant of Christmas infused into cloth.  It currently looks like a large fabric bruise but I'll wait and see.

Keep warm (or cool if you're in the Southern Hemisphere) and have a great weekend.

Snow, Snow, Snow

I've just been for a little walk along the lane to take a few photographs of our white world.

A "view" across to the Lincolnshire Wolds - honestly, they're in there somewhere!

These beautiful roses in my front garden are doing their best but I think their days are numbered:

I walked back into the house to find Sal, my Great Global Christmas Swap partner from last year and fellow Global Piecer, on the phone from Australia.  We had a great chat while Al made a nice cup of tea and put more logs on the fire.  Keep warm and keep stitching.  Please don't forget to enter my giveaway, question two here and question three here.  I'll have another question for you tomorrow.
