snow day

we awoke to find our world blanketed in snow, yet again
it really makes for a peaceful morning, a nice start
these pictures are taken from our deck door
other than homeschool, we pretty much had a snow day
we shovelled and stomped, made a sled run
the girls made a snowman
changed into dry clothes
we read books
drank mocha's
played a family game
cuddled in warm PJ's under homemade quilts
a good day that way
just no crafting....but lots and lots of thoughts of what i want to do

Thanks so much for leaving a comment on my blog -- and I can't recommend Heather's needle roll more! It's nice to "know" another reader :)

Thanks for stopping by my blog so much and leaving comments! I do appreciate it!

As for the sock creature I posted on 1/9, I don't have a pattern or a link--it was a craft just taught by a friend of mine. However, it looks really similar to the creatures on the cover of the book Stupid Sock Creatures. I would also recommend one of the other sock-to-softie books that are available, like Sock and Glove or Stray Sock Sewing. Happy crafting!

Oh it looks like the perfect day. I love being outside in snow and then coming inside into a cozy home and just warming up. That snowman is so cute...beautiful pictures.

That seems like the perfect way to spend a snowy day!

What beautiful photos :) I can't even imagine being that cold at the moment, we've been having a terrible heatwave and bushfires in Australia at the moment, I wouldn't mind some of that snow!
