Catching up!

Gosh can't believe I forgot to post anything in the month of January.

The Hittys of Rose Cottage have been quietly going about their lives as they do.

I joined in the Winter Frost Challenge on Knitty Hittys.

Hitty Madge got a new dress with a winter ski theme.

A warm cape

and a warm lyra hat to keep her head warm.  

Due to the shape of her head (shhh don't tell her) it isn't easy to get hats to fit her, but this pattern works quite well.

She got a warm cardigan in blue.

Which was handy when she and the little ones ventured out in the snow during our first snow fall.

Another day she enjoyed some apple strudel while out.

The heavier snow we had a few days ago meant that she helped over see some of the little ones, including nekked baby 'Keith's Cousin' who wanted to slide down the snow and thought it was fun. 

Rather him than us! Hitty Madge thought.

In the weekend she admired some of the flowers in the Sailor's garden that have started to come out.

Some pretty crocus

and lovely snowdrops.
