Market Day, Cubes & Winter Walks

Always a great start to a Sunday is when we visit a farmers market. The third Sunday of the month is the Bramhall market and the fourth (next week) is Marple. I can highly recommend both. Today we stopped off at the butchers for a Yearling guinea fowl and then from the indoor stalls, some hot salsa (so so soooo hot & tasty), a danish pastry and a melt-in-the-mouth freshly made Spanish tortilla.

Yesterday I made an origami cube after stamping and folding several pieces of patterned paper and gluing them all together. Hopefully the stamping group will enjoy making them in a couple of months time.

And finally, I finished a LO which I began yesterday that has been hanging around for a while. It's about a cold, wintry walk Nick & I did on New Years Eve around New Mills. We'd hardly set outside the home over the festive season, so it did us both some good to stretch our old legs. I found some dusty coloured blues and greys to complement the theme and added snowflake patterned ribbon to embellish. To try and add visual texture, I cut the journalling into strips. Makes me shiver whenever I see these frosty pics as it reminds me of how cold it was walking in the mist on that canal side.
