a bambi moment and some baking!

Right, thats it - i've had enough of this weather now! Snow i can cope with, but sheets of ice i cannot!


Have had a few moments in the past week where i have so nearly gone flying, but managed to retain my dignity - however when taking the dogs out this morning, stepped out of the door onto a sheet of ice! Gingerly took a couple of steps, then wham! a true bambi moment, arms flaying, legs wobbling - but... managed, just to stay upright. Did that thing where you look around to see if anyone's seen you - don't know why as all my lot still in bed! Got back indoors and had a well needed cuppa and a quick look at the weather forecast - oh, joy, more snow on Monday!



The upside of all this has meant more time for sewing so i have been getting on with my quilt - when i put it together i wasn't too keen, but its growing on me
am going quilt all over it with a sort of daisy design


also made a little pincushion for a swap i'm doing and have a couple more things to make today



Em decided she wanted to do some baking yesterday, so we had a very productive afternoon

Em made these - chocolate brownies and rice crispy nibbles! - i made banana cake and some bread

and later made these for pudding all of the above no good for the waistline but we decided we deserved it for al l the mucking out we've done and all the mucking out we've still got to do!



well i had better stop now and get on outside - i bet the blooming outside taps are frozen! but i'll leave you with this


what were they soooo interested in -....... why these of course!



have a lovely weekend!

Your baking looks wonderful - what is it about the snow that makes you want to bake. It has that effect on me. Stay safe!

All that baking and crafting - my kind of day!!

ps: funny you should mention Bambi-TLG has recently made the discovery so we are all-Bambi-all-the-time right now :)

I baked this week too - a definite response to the snowy weather - laying down stores (of lardiness) or something. Yours all looks delish!

I think your quilt's really really lovely - just up my street.

Glad the bambi moment didn't end in a breakage!

We've been baking too: apple and bramble turnovers, shortbread biscuits, and chocolate caramel krispie cakes.

I've had enough of the snow now. It was nice for a change but it can piddle off now thank you very much! x

Bring on the baking I say!

That photo at the top of your horses in the snow could be a Christmas card - it's beautiful!

Baking is the only thing to do when it's cold and snowy outside :-)

Your quilt is looking lovely and I love the flower design for the quilting.
