Bored, bored...

I am so bored, with the snow and ice taking away my freedom, I have been unable to go to the market and collect waistcoat orders so time has hung heavily on my hands. I did manage to get my car off the drive last Saturday and fetch some food for me and the dogs, but was unable to get it back there as the drive is quite steep and the road icy, so it had to be parked on the road until I can get it back safely. My dogs, Peggy Sue and Digger have really enjoyed the snow and are in an out of their door hatch all day.

But I have not been idle, I made another of Jan Maas's Violet dolls, cleaned out my drawers and back bedroom when I returned the Christmas decorations to the loft. Sorted out my family photos to fill the space left by the decorations.

Then I went through all the blogs I like to keep in touch with, and came upon this inspiration from Taylor's Textile Trials (see blog list) - a postcard book and 52Qs - a kickstart to my muse for 2010. I made the book to fit the shipping tags I intend to use for the 52Qs, I should have used a thinner paper for folding such a small book, but it does hold the tags better. I also made the first two tags but I'm not showing what the answers are, that's for me.

I also had a go at the challenge from GPPS (see under blogs) but my snowflakes were too big and didn't give the look I wanted so I'll be trying that again.

The snow has kept the postman away for over a week and all the things I'm waiting for are still in transit, much frustration! I'm still waiting for the fruits of my voucher presents to play with and hopefully gender more ideas. I wonder if the refuse collectors will come today? They also have had a hard time getting to houses locked up by the snow and the bins are rather full now.

I'm off to see if I can rescue my car, maybe...
