Like you I have loved looking at it through the window. My hubby was delighted to be told he could drive again but then he couldn't because of the snow! So glad you liked my efforts on my desk last week. The mystery project is progressing well and I'm pulling out all the stops to get it completed before I go into hospital so hopefully the wraps will be off soon! The rack for the boards works really well and I recommend it. I haven't forgotten about the carousel for the stickles/alcohol inks - will do you a detailed drawing one day!! As for the kittens, I don't think it can be hormones because they were spayed lol!! There's definitely an adolescent teenagery independence and naughty rebellious streak coming in, though. My hubby says they will settle down and get all lovey dovey again when they are "all growed up" haha! They are definitely flexing their muscles, with each other as well as with us, and have had a few spats over the past week, but then they kiss and make up. I'm anticipating a message daily from the hospital telling me my operation has been postponed because I'm sure the bad weather will have affected their lists. I won't believe it's actually happening until the anaesthetic sends me off to lala land. Like you I've been extremely cold and the first day of the snow, I simply couldn't keep warm whatever I did! So nice to feel warm again.<br /><br />ShoshiShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698455695833611307.post-47427994725375211572018-03-05T21:08:59.337+00:002018-03-05T21:08:59.337+00:00Very nice!

I'm not much of a one for sewing/knitting/crocheting myself - I always seem to just tie myself in knots - but I love seeing the results of other people's labours! Looking forward to seeing the finished make-up bag - sounds a lovely idea.<br />Alison xWords and Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672524847577136244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698455695833611307.post-19840587695412965492018-03-01T19:04:05.220+00:002018-03-01T19:04:05.220+00:00I have to agree with Jan - your work always looks ...I have to agree with Jan - your work always looks so fresh, neat and well, just perfect - I wish I was better at crochet but my hands just won't do what my brain tells them - ha ha maybe it's my brain sending wrong instructions - I do find crochet patterns tricky! xx JoTwiglethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851717329658611598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698455695833611307.post-84431973046312075452018-03-01T16:40:34.976+00:002018-03-01T16:40:34.976+00:00Super duper crochet, all new stitches to me!
