Snow, Stories, & Making Things

The kids finally got their way! It snowed. They have been in and out all day.
They altered the "Frosty" song so that his eyes are made of rosemary and a carrot for his nose. He is a cute snowman! Kevin helped them while I watched from inside!

Mimi had to write one sentence in class the other day. And then they were to draw a picture. She did much more that that! I am impressed!

AWESOME!

I finished many projects this weekend. Here is an owl for a good friend of ours. I hope he likes it!
I put a pocket on the backside for books or whatever he wants to put in there. Mimi said she thought his looked better than hers. SIGH. That is the bad thing about making things for kids. If she spies one of the creations, she wants it! :)

I also gave my first quilt some much needed attention, and I think it looks so much better. I should have taken better photos, but I was in a hurry. I ended up getting the Quilting for Dummies book and it helped me. This quilt is definitely been a learning experience!

Stay warm!
Karen
