what a week -

It is snowing in Twizel, as you can see, I took these photos yesterday lunchtime, and it has been steadily snowing ever since, so much more snow cover now, I am about to go and meet Rowing Man for lunch, so will see just how much snow is afoot today...

not sure how we may fare on the road back to Dunedin, will check that out on Sunday, but Rowing Man needs to be the bum on his seat in Outram (no locum cover), and I really sorta need to be back at work too..

these footsteps lead somewhere nice and warm,

Someone, who shall remain nameless (very kind quilting friend currently recovering from very recent back surgery), sent me the pattern for Millie's Garden, oh no she cried, I shall put that away for a rainy day, (or did she really mean a snowy day!@#$%) - anyway, I just could not resist, and have been putting these together.... don't they look cool!

I am doing this quilt with my good friend Margaret, who is not among the snow, in fact when I last heard from her (which was yesterday actually), she was sipping some sort of alcoholic beverage on the Queensland Coast...
The snow affected the TV reception last night, as any resemblance of a picture was so pixelated and garbeld like aliens from you know where, and the then reception died altogetherfor all 3 channels - haven't checked to see if it is back today or not.... so I was busy stitching this last night,

and this, just need to get this off an in the mail... I so should have been working on this and not Millie's Garden!

and I really need to get into gear with this too,' cos this needs to be posted Monday!

and these need to be put together


cannot figure how I ever manage to fit in a work day! Oh well, off to lunch

Have fun, Shiree

Your snow looks lovely. It is to be 92* here today, but I am still not wishing for our snow back yet! Your projects look fun. Nothing like a snowy day to get crafting!

Ok, you win, you have more snow than I had. A dear friend of mine who is also healing from back surgery also gave me the pattern of Millies Garden. I wonder if your friend knows my friend?

Millie's Garden is just gorgeous! I just returned from the Southern California desert and would certainly have appreciated a little snow on one of the hottest days!

Brrrrrrrrrr, please keep your snow in the south for awhile. Just seing your pictures reminds me that just a short while ago we were shovelling out. Being from the northern hemisphere and knowing it is July, one thinks, how can that be.Your current project is going to be beautiful.
