Snow Day

This is what happens when you brag about emerging Crocuses to relatives in Winnipeg . I'm not sure how the weather reporters confused, "perhaps 3 cm" to this.

The view from the front door this morning

Nudge is thrilled - he has been out to do the crazy dog in the snow, run. The kitties are napping - mind you this is no change from any other day.

Yesterday our Guild awarded prizes for the latest Challenge. The theme was tea cozies. We had a wonderful turnout with 20 fabulous entries. There were handspun and knit ones, felted ones, quilted ones - some were made of cotton, some wool and mine was made from chiengora (dog of course). Sizes ranged from large to small to tiny - one was a cozy for a tea cup! After the viewing was complete, tea was served and we indulged in fancy sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam and other delicious little goodies. A lovely morning.

Some of the entries in the Tea Cozy Challenge

I was honoured to win a prize for my cozy - a prize of tea. So as the snow piles up, I think I'll put on the kettle and curl up with my knitting - after all we don't get many snow days here, so I might as well enjoy it.
