Snowmen!

Well, Christmas is just about upon us now and I have one final Christmas tree ornament that I've been working on. Adorable snowmen! It took me a really long time to get started on these because I didn't have any fabric paint. But... I really can't pass up an opportunity to go get myself more crafting supplies, so now I have lots of fabric paint.
Also, I had this hideous green yarn that my sister bought me a TON of at a garage sale... somehow that yarn seems to work perfectly for this pattern!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Brrr.... it's chilly outside!


We got one heck of a snowstorm on Friday... brrr... so I've spent the weekend holed up at home not daring to go out unless, god forbid, we run out of baking supplies. :)
Anyhow... so since we're stuck inside and it's December I started making snowflakes! YAY!
I also continued to work on the Christmas stockings, so I've got 4 done now.
The plan for these is to string them up as Christmas tree ornaments, steal my favourites for my tree, and then attach the rest (and make some new ones to replace the ones I snagged, of course) to everyone's Christmas presents. This is SO much more reasonable than what I did last year. That was insane... I made a point of knitting everyone something... bad idea... not so bad when you decide to do that early in the year... it's just a bad idea when you decide in oh... November... That was a lot of knitting.
Anyhow... patterns for the snowflakes are located here.

Stay warm!
