Snow

It snowed quite a bit this week in Vancouver.

It's a rare thing for us, so I was glad for my sturdy boots and reliable car. Be safe out there, people!

It's December

Happy December 1st! It's cold around here, so I've been making snowmen. Not out of real snow, thank goodness. I found this video on Facebook, and snapped this screen shot - aren't they cute, those fat snowmen?

It was the perfect project for these old cashmere sweaters I've been hoarding. I haven't managed to felt them yet, but I cut the sleeves off of one white sweater, sewed the tops and bottoms, and formed them into snowmen. They are filled with flax seeds and rice. I glued on some buttons, and some beads for the eyes. Then I crocheted them each a hat and a scarf. I think they turned out ADORABLE!
