… as opposed to the real thing! Yesterday we saw a few white flakes drifting past the window. I decided the clouds must have dandruff as the thought of snow in October when there are still green leaves on the trees is not something with which I can cope. Winter is my least favourite season so thinking it was off to such an early start was terrible. This is odd weather that we’re having. Yesterday cold, windy and white flakes and last night it went down to, they say, -2C. Today and for the next week or so, highs in the 13 to 14C range.
The latest Snow Crystal block is finished. They’re fast to put together and, thanks to the different pinks in each block, I am not getting the least bit bored making them.
Pressing this one was a bit challenging. Interesting how some fabrics press differently, even though they’re all cotton. I think I may have to use a bit of steam on this one to tame a few of the seam allowances and get them to lie really flat.
This will be the next snow crystal block. I love the richness of this pink.
Can you imagine being this relaxed? Smudge sleeps like this a lot but last night was hysterical. We noticed the pose, went to get the camera and saw that Smudge had an eye open, watching to make sure we were about to take his photo. He held the pose till we had. He sure loves having his picture taken.
