I haven't been writing my blog for well over a week . When we get towards the end of the winter my enthusiasm for all sorts of things starts to flag . I sit around reading and doing a crossword . I like to sit in the conservatory if the sun is shining .

These brave little flowers are the only blooms in my garden but hopefully if the sun shines this weekend I will be able to tidy bushes and cut dead looking plants back .

I have sewn my postcard swap now , I have been puzzling for days  . The theme for this month was memories . I found it a difficult challenge . Then decided on  a winter scene . One for my own small collection and one to send to Australia . .  I did make a bag for a friend called the Angel in the garden . It's a bag with a lot of applque . It took 3 weeks to do a little each day . I finished it on Wednesday . I have been doing more quilting on my zig zag quilt . I'm hand quilting it intensley so it will be nice to look at . I have also almost finished a christmas wallhanging that has a lot of work . I made one , my son liked it so I made another one for myself .

In between every thing else I have some crochet on the go and Enlish paper piecing hexagons

If the sun shines I can get quite a bit done here and there . If it's cold and dull it's a no go day . Here's hoping for sunshine .
