One Sleep To Go

Yeah only one more sleep to go 
Tomorrow my big sister is coming for a visit
I haven't seen her for almost two years, 
they popped up for a visit just after we moved in 
I think they will see a lot of changes.
I am looking forward to catching up.

 The white stuff is interfering with my plans
 It throws it down then the sun comes out and it all vanishes
I am glad I delayed getting things planted out.
 Although with the weather putting a kibosh on outside jobs
It means I spend time in my cabin crafting.

Remember that rope
well I have started a project with it
 Yes I am making door mats, this one is nearly finished,
I will put details on my craft blog of how I am doing it.
 
 I have also been making new table mats not with the rope,
they need pressing yet.
So a lot of time spent crafting and housework
catching up on lots of little inside jobs  all those mundane things.
At least it get them out of the way.
Oh there is something else but I cant lift it out of the car by myself so I cant show you, 
It will wait for another post :-)

  4. I agree about the second photo, fab. We had a smattering of snow over night but clearing now. Put my growing bag of potatoes outside yesterday but when I went out to get logs in this morning I have put it back in the greenhouse!

  6. I love the rope door mats Dawn, they look great. I look forward to hearing how you made them. I'm fed up of these snow showers too, there's a real chill in the air. It's May next week! Have a lovely time with your sister :-)

  8. Hard to believe it still is just April around here. We can still get frost until mid-May and snow in April but not this year I guess.

    You can call those rugs survival emergency rope rugs!!!

  10. As an only child, I will have to imagine the pleasure of having a much-loved sister come to visit. You have been keeping busy again - love the rope mats.

  11. I'm itching to plant, but it's going to be a couple more weeks. My brother is here for the weekend, so loads of family time.

  12. Dawn, your energy and enthusiasm astound me!
    The weather here is just too awful to do any outside jobs which are not essential.

  13. Hope you have a great visit with your sister and that the weather doesn't interfere with your plans! Snow isn't really what we need right now is it!
