Been shopping for new clothes for me and the kids but what's the point. It's so blimin' cold out there AGAIN. Will stick to jumpers and jeans(thick socks and boots).
Very jealous of The In-Laws. It's 16 degrees at the mo in their part of France. Looking forward to warming our bones up when we visit at Easter.

Sunday night is bath night...
.. in the Clifton house. For one night only, we all smell beautiful. The kids have bathed in chocolate (Cakes) and Strawberry (Mimi) bubble bath. Cakes and I have also had chocolate purifying and moisturising face masks. We are now ready to start the week. Bring it on!

muchos wristwarmers!
Seems I can't stop making wristwarmers. Good news is, they only take a few hours to knit up. Here's Mimi sporting the latest pair.
Kids have their friends here this morning so I'm off the hook. Think I'll do a little bit of sewing to keep me away from the fridge!

Note to self: need to blog more
Have been making Scottie Dogs, as you do! Have kept the blue one but the red (and green one not pictured) were snapped up by friends. Have nearly finished Cousin Emily's bedroom curtains and they are looking gorgeous. Will post a picture when done.

Mimi's salt dough decorations....
... have turned out quite well. Watched Kirstie Allsop make some last night on her Homemade Christmas programme. Will be watching the next instalment tonight (although poor Dr Green would rather stick pins in his eyes) so there should be more goodies for us to make over the weekend. Will avoid glass blowing baubles for now though!

Hectic weekend
Had a lovely time at the Stitch and Knit Fair yesterday. Managed to buy some fab goodies - fabrics, patterns etc - so will be busy this week creating. Dr Green managed to keep it all together in my absence: nursing a hangover and looking after Auntie Rachel and the kids. Well done hubby.
Now gearing up for a few days of mayhem as the builders are here tomorrow. Yippee!
Have attached a picture of Boris the bear, made a couple of weeks ago. I've used some of my old grandma's buttons for his joints and eyes so he is kind of special.
