my week in pictures...

what a week.
it's quite amazing what you can fit in when you have to.

first up, the week here in the uk has been hit by mega snow which meant kids have been off with snow days. 

second up, I have been avoiding the issue of tax form deadline looming which always means throwing myself into other suddenly way more important jobs.

thirdly, my poor frail father went for a fall and broke his hip at the beginning of the week which has meant lots of round trips to the hospital visiting and shuttling mum to and fro.

it's quite a wonder i have done anything more than get dressed this week, but looking back on it a fair amount of activity has actually taken place...

1. a snowy walk around the lake...
2. trying to stick to my january fitness regime, but not easy to drag myself out of my cosy bed in this cold...
3. starting to organise my new spring collection with a canvas and linen foldover bag...
4. getting through a few more blocks for my low volume scrappy trip along quilt...
5. a nice little selection of fabrics sitting on my desk at the mo waiting to be tested...
6. beautiful views all over at the start of this week...
7. getting details for some new designs...
8. dumpling pouches galore! just loving making these little pouches (courtesy of michelle patterns)
9. arm warmers made out of an old favourite jumper that simply couldn't bear to throw away.

i hope you have had a good week with not too many stressful interruptions and
have a great weekend x

such a busy week! I hate those tax forms but as my husband is a church minister we cant use the on line service!!!! Who knows why and we have to use the paper method. Hoping your father is on the mend soon.

A very busy week! Hope your Dad is fit again very soon. And I love the idea of using old favourite sweaters as arm warmers!

Hope your dad is ok! I don't blame you for tax return avoidance, I do exactly the same thing every year. You have certainly packed a lot into this week!
