We may have been together for 30 years, but we are still romantic ....... just look at these lovely presents we gave each other for Valentine's Day. Malcolm gave me
and I gave him
yesterday it snowed all day, then in the evening it turned to rain, so that when we got up this morning almost all the snow had gone. As it was also a bit milder, I decided to go out for a short walk at lunchtime. The sun was shining on the hills
there were shadows from the clouds on the fields
these herdies were several fields away, so even with the big lens and the digital zoom, this was the best photo that I could get
I braved the muddy track again, but there was only one lamb at the top end of the field
back home, I spotted these tiny daffodils in the back garden
Malcolm was busy painting his log store
by the end of the afternoon, he just had the roof left to do
and now, a bit later in the week than usual, the sewing update! At the weekend, I made the two quilt tops with the fabric that I got at Anne's

progress on Mr Badger
looking back through the photos looking for the sewing ones, I realised that I hadn't shown you these super buttons, which Katy got for me
I am the star turn at the Abbey Quilters' April meeting, and as I need to give out the requirements list at the March meeting, I thought I should make a start to designing the project and making the samples ...... here is a little sneak peek of what I will be showing you tomorrow!
to finish, this is the warning on the back of the magnets that I gave Malcolm ....... would you give them to a small child?
