Week 5. On my work bench.....

Good news, my son is home from Luxembourg

Hip, Hip Hurrah! Great to have him home.. If only for a few weeks.

Right, lets get back to what my post should be about..

Inspired by a lady who asked me if I made my Christmas birds as brooches, I've made a few to see how they fly.. He! he!

So this is the work table... Well, kitchen table.. We've had about 8" of the fluffy white stuff..

It's called a work in progress.. Looks more like a big mess to me.

 This is the view from one of the lounge windows. Brrr...

My shed looks cold and sad for it's self this afternoon, Norman, cleared the path for me, but it's just too cold to go out there to work -3.

'Raven'                    'Beautiful '  

 

'Hummingbird '

More good news... I've sold a couple of brooches. Thank you.

Ice dancing

Jack frost left his ice dance on the INSIDE of my bedroom window.

You can just see the top of the window latch at the bottom of the picture... 

I would just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a 

'Merry Christmas and a very Happy New year'

The Angel is one of my charity shop finds.

Wivenhoe waterfront

Cold and grey... Looking out towards Rowhedge

I haven't touched this photo, it really is a grey day.

Had a great walk in the snow this morning , down the waterfront then along to Wivenhoe woods.  It was magical.

It was so beautiful walking through the woods, I stopped to look up into the sky at the snow falling, have you ever stopped to listen to the snow falling.....? It had the most wonderful sound, it whispers as it makes its way down through the trees.

The snow really got going just after I took this photograph... We've got a few inches now and it's still snowing... and the temperature is dropping fast.

I met only two other people while out walking, we agreed that we must be a little unhinged to be out in the snow... But it was worth it.
