i adore snow

I am so happy about these huge drifts of snow that are upon us. You see I so much prefer cold to hot and wet to dry, and white to grey. I love the way snow has the power to make everyone 'slow down'. I love that snow is tea and toast weather. I love pulling my daughter on a sledge instead of pushing her in a pram. It all just feels so right somehow. Snow simplifies everything, snow is quiet, snow is me... I adore snow.

Tea & Toast

Just sitting down with a dainty cup of Lady Grey and the new Toast catalogue. I love the setting and styling and most of the clothes... I always swoon over Toast, but I can't really afford to shop there... I just steal ideas.

I have been sewing up some new brooches and making hair clips and knitting a lovely white camisole for myself from some bamboo yarn and using cotton yarn to design some pretty bags. I realised how little free time I have however, and I am kind of reminiscing when I was pregnant and I swirled about the house barefoot - baking cupcakes and playing with fabric and yarn.
But you know, one day there will be time again and as Baby J leaves the house to explore alone... and I will reminiscing about this time we have now where we have tea parties with toy food, hunt fairies and play dress up... sigh.

Its raining today so I am happy.
