Snow on the Mountains.

But none in the Valley, yet, thank goodness. There is quite a bit showing on the Black Mountain but only a light dusting on the Morriston Mountain.

I expect that the supermarket shelves will be denuded of milk, bread and fresh veg. As it is only Tuesday I equally expect the food waste bins to be full on Friday.

Apart from milk, which is not essential in this house, I do not need to shop for anything, and I will not be rushing out to buy milk. 

I spent a couple of hours today sorting through another scrap bag, that just leaves 2 to go. There is however a few piles of ironing to be done. I sort the scraps into squares and rectangles and then sort those into sizes. I store them, once ironed, like with like regardless of colour, this makes  piecing so much easier for me. If I trim as I sew all the trimmings get put together and then size sorted every now and then. I would hate to have to tackle a whole quilts worth in one go. 

I did give into temptation and sew some bits together, I found some candy squares in patterned and white on white fabrics. Those were just asking to be paired up, after pressing I then added a strip to one side of each. I called it a day then but I have the start of another scrappy quilt top, a smaller one this time. Consisting of 9 blocks, possibly with sashing, it will be either a lap quilt for the sofa or a single bed size.

It was naughty as I need to clean the machine and put a new needle in ready to start some quilting. Mind you if we do get the snow I will have plenty of time to sew myself silly.

Oops, the timer has just told me that dinner is ready, just some spice coated chicken breast fillets, jacket potato and salad tonight.
