♥ 52 Weeks of Happy ♥ 4/52


Hello Lovelies, 
Can it be my 4th happy week of 2013 already ?


1.the boys snuggling on the sofa in my crochet blankets each chilly morning. I love that they are so useful as well as pretty.

2. Family sledging last weekend.....we don't live in a part of the country known for snow (the midlands) so I think it's awesome that we have had enough snow to sledge on for four years running now. This activity always me happy .....till I'm so cold I need to go find my crochet blankets and a hot drink.

3. The wonderful winter scenery viewed during the morning rush our traffic jam. I always fell a little sad to go to work and miss what looks like it will be a beautiful day , but relish being out in the early morning light.

4.Making crochet hand warmers in a light bulb " got to do this now" moment. I was inspired by Kristens post and used the same circles as I used for my crochet owls.......dead easy.......and they work :0)

    I bet your blankets are really warm and cosy and I love your hand warmers - what a great idea! Are they filled with something you can microwave and then it stays warm.

    I love your snowy photos too. I live in the Midlands too but I'm in the very north where we often get snow. I've really enjoyed it and am a little sad that it's started to melt today!

      Hi Louise, yes they have ceramic baking beans in them, or you can use regular dried beans

    Good morning Jacquie!! Did you use cotton, wool or would anything work for the hand warmers? I think this too will go into my 2013 "Christmas Box". Grand idea!!

    Have a JOYful weekend!!

    I also look at the scenery on my way to work. I really wanted to capture a wonderful sunset yesterday morning but couldn't stop due to the icy roads. The hand warmers are a fantastic idea. Take care. Chel

    The handwarmers are brilliant! I think I'm going to make a few to send to a young friend who has just started college in wintery New York.

    Lovely snow sight! Too bad here (NL) the snow is fading as the temperatures already start rising but I also love white sights!

    Love, Kirsten
