Here we go again....

The first of the awaited babies has arrived and it's a girl - name as yet unknown.  I've just finished sewing a pinafore in pink brushed cotton and a cardi in raspberry pink wool from my Australian stash (abandoned the pale pink one as the second ball proved to be a different batch and the colour difference was noticable.  Photos to follow as soon as I can borrow husband's camera - which will need charging.  Can't seem to get mine to work now and can't afford to replace at present.
It's been snowing again here since mid-morning and is really heavy - about 10cm at least last time I looked. I went out for a few odds and ends, only to find the town centre blocked off because of a fire, so my journey took longer and meant using a very steep slippery road on the way back, by which time light snow had become big cotton wool flakes and the roads, of course, were ungritted.  I contemplated parking the car up on the main road but several people had cars bashed last time so I put it on the drive after making  sure I couldn't think of anything else we needed.  We're stocked up  for a good few days and daughter will be back at the weekend so I shall again make good use of enforced home time. Just hope the local shop has bread tomorrow, or it's back to part-baked rolls.
