Winter Wonderland

Well, kind of.  We had SO much snow yesterday!  Luckily, as it was the weekend, we stayed in the warm and watched it come down.  We ventured up the shop (on foot) today, and hubby went and dug the car out this afternoon, in preparation for an undoubtedly hairy journey to work tomorrow.  As we all know, it's an absolute nightmare trying to get about in all this white stuff, but just think of all those lucky schoolkids who've finished for Christmas and have all this to play in! :)

Anyway, the weather's pretty much drawn a line under my Christmas present list - if I haven't got it now, it's too blinkin' late!  Naturally, I had to discover yesterday that I'd wrapped the wrong present (again!  How do I manage it?)  and passed it on, so that will have to be retrieved and swapped at some point!  Still can't show any piccies of pressies made, so you are welcome to look at the things I've made myself instead - a black and silver necklace, and a sparkling clear set of pendant, earrings and bracelet, both with fabulous lampwork by Isabelle Anderson and Laney from Izzybeads respectively.

I had a nice surprise this week - series 1 and 2 of Life On Mars arrived in the post from my dad and stepmum, so I had me a little Sam Tyler and Gene Hunt fix last night.  Love that series - how is it that John Simm manages to look SO cool in those seventies clothes, even against a backdrop of the worst wallpaper ever?! ;D
