Skating and a snowman

But first a lovely parcel! I ordered some organic flannel so that I can make some baby clothes with soft snuggly linings (as inspired by Kat) and despite all the snow and no post for a week this parcel made its way to me. It's the softest snuggliest flannel I've ever felt and I can't wait to get started on some sewing.

The boy announced he wanted to go skating and brought some boxes for me to help put his skates on. Who am I to argue?

And with Matthew home there was a snowman built on Monday. He's now covered in a new dusting of snow and may acquire a friend later today.

He has very fetching lavender eyebrows.

The dog has his own way of having fun in the snow....
