The Zarse Family!

Stephanie and her daughter (above) spent the day making

American Girl Doll Costumes.

AND

Marianne McCauley

Who was working on a "Snow Sparkle" quilt.

Congratulations!

I got great pics from some of you.
L-O-V-E this one of the pups lounging in front
of the fire.  I'm sure they did a lot of shoveling : ) 

There was a lot of knitting, quilting and, of course,

shoveling going on.  Chicken soup and biscotti making,

Peek-A-Boo playing, journal writing, tea drinking...

puppet shows and cross stitching...

Bronwyn's snow day plans to "yarn bomb" her mailbox

were foiled when "said" mailbox was knocked down by a plow.

You can read about her adventures on her blog:

By the way...
she is a fabulous knitter!
 Check out her MUSTWAX sweater.
It's her own design and you can purchase the pattern
on her Etsy shop or her Ravelry page.
(check blog)

Wow!


What did I do?
I swam.
I know, a bit perverse, but my pool
was open for the first time in 2 weeks
and I needed it!

More stay-at-home snow days!!

bye for now!

Quick Felt Gifts:

 

I'm addicted to cute felt crafts.

Probably because it's so easy to make

something that looks pretty darned good.

Have a family craft night making ornaments,

gift tags...cute little whatevers.

We've got felt and embroidery floss...or you can use glue.

Check out Pinterest if you need some ideas.

and fun.  Each kit comes with wool roving, felting needles

and directions for making adorable felted animals.

and Bluebirds (at the moment).

Of course, there's no time for making quilts,

but there is time to make a few cute bags.

Check out Amy's Fat Quarter Bag

tutorial on the Riley Blake blog.

 Laminated cottons make great totes too.
