Hogmanay Mixed Bag

Hi Folks.....yes it's Hogmanay in this part of the world and what am I doing today.....well a real mixed bag....woke up this morning to this view from the cubbyhole window.....yes a fresh fall of snow last night and a word of warning.....this post is very pic heavy so it may be a good idea to get yourself a cuppa and your bum into a comfy seat.....

and this baby ain't going nowhere so it's time to get Shanks' pony out and a brisk walk to M&S to get my last minute stuff for tomorrow's New Year's Dinner

home for a welcome cup of coffee and then get stuck in to my two favourite "C" s.......
CRAFTING and COOKING....and if you haven't had your lunch yet......look away now......

Big pan of Tattie soup which will be ready anytime now.....yummy eaten with oatcakes

sealing and browning the Roast Beef all ready for the oven

and while that's cooking it's time to get crafting...last minute request for a 90th birthday card...all pink and flowery and Sis is coming to pick it up...she may well get here but will she get home again

and just when I thought life couldn't get any more exciting.....my very patient postie arrived with my American Craft goodies from QVC...gorgeous fabric Thickers and yummy rub-ons

I am planning on coming back at midnight to welcome in the bells with you all but the way the day is going... may need matchsticks to keep my eyes open...the old traditions of Hogmanay...first footing all your neighbours and friends...a drink and something to eat in each house and then onto the next one are dying out...let's face it folks...any Friday or Saturday night now is Hogmanay in our city centres.
Off now to make a challenge card for Papertake Weekly and then a snuggle with my furry bundle of golden deliciousness on the sofa...see ya later
