We made it through January!
A long month in some ways. Some of us have cabin fever. I've got a houseful of giggly young ladies working on their current home movie, the title of which escapes me, but it involves more doll foolery, fake pizza, and a man-doll named "Gary". You should hear them trying to be serious.
Another storm is on the way that convinced us to stay home this weekend. It's a mess out there with snow advisories, avalanches and mud slides. I've got some old movies and fun sewing lined up. Not so bad. And pencil pal snowman to keep me company.
Using every scrap from the wool blanket!
Oh! Jack Johnson and Elizabeth Mitchell make just about every iTune playlist I make... calming, cheering, heartfelt music. I am not quite absorbing the reality that it is February.

The snowman pencil topper is adorable. If I was still teaching I'd be cutting into some felt at this moment.
I think the baby bonnet is one of the cutest things I've seen in a long time. You did a beautiful creative job with it.
It's snowing here too!

Oh boy! I can't wait for another movie!
That's a charming pencil pal!
I was just thinking this morning, that everything, and everyone has felt a little off center lately.
I'm glad that you are all keeping safe and warm. It's damp and cool here, in that clinging way that happens sometimes in the NW.
I loved the Moon dance song. Thank you Vicki.

I'm loving the snowman pencil topper! It could be used with a lollipop, also. I am a teacher and I give the kids pencils w/ a theme each month. I could include these for December!
