Snowy day

My youngest son left today. He blew the driveway and his fiancé shovelled before they left since my husband isn't allowed after the gall bladder surgery. I went out for errands and had to park on the street when I returned because the plough had gone by.
So my husband came out with me and showed me how to use the snow blower. It's a very old, heavy one, but I handled it fine. The hardest part was squeezing the handle to make it go; my hand cramped.
I showed a small peek of these table toppers before Chritmas. Now I can show you the whole photo. This one I made for the son with the round table.

This was for the youngest son and his fiancé. The snowflake patterns and measurements for the runner came from Quilting Arts in a newsletter.
I purposely went a little funky with the fabrics and didn't use Christmas fabrics, so they could be used longer.

They look lovely. Smart move - making them out of fabrics that don't say Christmas.

Beautiful, Holly.
Well done on the snow blower. I always think that they look like fun to use. Can you tell I like garden gadgets? Love to weed whack, too.
Happy New Year.
