Hunkering down for the snowy season.

A snowy scene from last December.

Well it's that time of year again folks, cough, sneeze, splutter. Twiglet has a proper old mans cough and we have grotty colds and coughs but are following the lovely boys example and just getting on with it.

What a top little chap.

Here are the Pudsey Bear biscuits and pizzas I made on Friday, beautifully decorated by Twiglet.We had one of those unexpectedly lovely days on Sunday. We went over to Nana and Grandad Twigs for a most delish lunch and Twiglet wanted them to come to the park with us. My lovely, lovely Father in Law who is 80 next year(it is hard to believe it, his exuberance is infectious!), loved whizzing round on the miniature steam train cuddled up with Twiglet and said he'd not had so much fun for ages !!

Like many of you we are nesting and hunkering down for the snowy season. Mr Twigs has been sent off into the attic, curtain poles have been found. We had some terrific long heavy curtains at our old house, which have never been unpacked. One will do nicely for the draughty front door and a set will be shortened for Twiglets bedroom.

I've done a bit of Chrimbo shopping today, cards, wrapping and stuff and we went to the garden centre after school with my lovely Mum who is staying over. Bought Twiglet and Mr Twigs some snuggly, thermal welly socks, so we're all ready for the walk to school.

Twiglet has a school fancy dress disco on Friday, he is going as Superman :) do you think Superman needed thermal socks in the snow???

Here's some of our making. Mr Twigs red cabbage (we managed to salvage 2 cabbages from the flooded lottie!)My Christmas hearts.Inspired by Kirstie's Homemade Home, a Christmas cushion for Twiglet, (he saw another cushion I'm making for my pal for Christmas and wanted one making with a car on it). I'm rather pleased with how it turned out.I know I'm on a make do and mend vibe at the moment, but all this lovely fabric was half price, so it was rude not to !!!I want to say a HUGE thank you to lovely Louise from Home is Where the Heart Is, for the terrific and surprise parcel we received on Saturday. Some gorgeous little birdies for Twiglet's window and a great little book and beautiful cards for Twiggy. Thank you so much Louise, we love them. Twiglet has postitioned two of the birdies so he can see them when he's laying in his bed!!Righto, must go and drink my Lemsip and watch Kirstie now.

I promise to post Nana Twigs yummy lemon curd recipe in next few days and I'm planning on having a little giveaway in the next few weeks.

Keep your eyes peeled, stay cosy and take care.
