....oh no, the snow and 'The Glow'.....

....Oh no.....the snow.....
.....Now, I  had gathered from the weather forecast that the snow we were going to get was going to be a dusting... a light fall,........well, ,when I peeped through the bedroom curtains this morning my little road was buried under about three feet of the stuff,  there were drifts built up higher than this over doorways and even down the little alley ways,....poor Bix and Molly couldn't get out of the cat flap as the snow was so far up the back door that the cat flap was completely covered...........i think we are all house bound today, Mr Pixie, me and two cats are going to stay put................anyway......................

.........Yesterday, Mr Pixie and I took a trip to  the 'The Glow', which is a new arts and crafts venue at 'Bluewater', if your not familiar with Bluewater take a look at the link, this show was on for four days and was called 'creative stitches', and a friend of mine who owns a really spiffy wool shop in my town had a slot there with the most amazing ...'Erika Knight', and she was promoting her new line of scrummy wool and you could join in with her to do some 'Extreme knitting' with her..............................
.................So against my most better judgement, and actually on this occasion I was glad that I had left my camera at home and had to rely on Mr Pixies crappity crap blurred phone....so...here's a picture of me with the most biggest  ever knitting needles on the face of the earth..................................'or.. ....am I really that small !!' hmmmm.....you decide. x




                                    'I have been called a ''borrower'' before'...many times in fact..

....not quite sure what face I'm pulling......( please don't look too closely ),  its probably one of utmost joy and glee, not only to be chatting with and knitting with Erika, but to just be surrounded by so much yarn...........and just look at the thickness of that yarn......what we did was finger knit the wool first to get these really chunky strands of yarn to work with..............bliss.

...( have you noticed my little upcycled jacket came along with me........Erika really loved it.......I was quite quite chuffed, i can tell you ).....

.....Here's a couple more blurred pictures for you..........( note to self,..must always remember to take CAMERA).......

.....Some of the original costumes from the brilliant 'Downton Abbey'......

.....Also....

.....A massive knitted sea creature thingy.....

.....And a knitted fisherman next to a completely knitted underwater cave plus fish an everything....

....I had to keeping saying to Mr Pixie '' take a picture of that''..or...''quick quick take a picture of this''.....I gave up asking him in the end......i think it was the continuous yawning that told me that he was a bit bored..........bless him.
