Busy Times

I hope everyone has had a nice weekend. Mine began on Friday night with an evening of crafting with the Paper Mill girls, and in between pizza-ing and nattering, I made some more owl tags:

It was quite an easy-going task, and didn't require much concentration, which was a blessing, as there was a lot of conversation to keep up with!

Over the weekend, Himself and I took a couple of long walks; one through the Dalmeny estate near Cramond and the other a canal walk to Winchburgh. Saturday afternoon, he watched the rugby and I read the most absorbing book I've come across in ages:

It's one of those harrowing, but heart-warming memoirs that makes you appreciative of leading a relatively privileged life (and also has you crossing your legs and exclaiming "Gruuuggghhh!" every few pages!) - and it reminds you of the strength and courage that the human spirit can possess. Sniffle. I look forward to immersing myself in the sequel!

Today I've been pottering, watching the seemingly endless rain (and snow!) through the window, and making a couple of cards:

I love using the brightest colours for my cards, it really cheers me up on a dreary day!
