Waking Up to a Winter Wonderland

We’ve had lots of moisture since Thanksgiving, but since it’s been above freezing it has been rain. Last night it fell below freezing, so we are waking up to a winter wonderland. It is truly beautiful, and… my favorite kind of snow, melting.

It’s very cozy and warm inside. Our large Christmas tree is to the left of this photo. This little tree is my “sweets” tree where I hang vintage cookie cutters and yummy looking ornaments.

It’s very timely that I just finished this winter set for my Kaye Wiggs Millie. This set was fun to make, love this color so much, a heathered sky blue. Millie is hanging on tight to her stuffed snowman that I made her. I think she’s afraid she may have to give it up and share with it another little girl.

We often say in Chicago that if you don’t like the current weather, wait 5 minutes and it will change. While this change didn’t happen in 5 minutes, this was yesterday morning.

The snow that we have this morning will be gone very soon, we’re getting warmer.

Have a great day and thank you so much for reading my blog and commenting. I love hearing from you.

Instant Winter!

Well, we have instant coffee and pudding, instant messaging, and now instant winter… for us in northern Illinois anyway. Yesterday it was over a foot of snow and this morning it is 10℉ (-12℃), so it is definitely wintry out there.

Oh, what fun!!! No, not really… The only GREAT thing is that by the end of the week it will be in the 50s again! Yay!

As the sun was coming up, I took some icy looking pictures. Can you feel how cold it is?

Tonight (7:00 pm, CST) I will have “Snowmen and Candy Canes” available on my website. It’s only fitting, don’t you think? Here’s a sneak peak.

So, who do you think models it better, Lucy (top) or Gina?

Bye for now! I’ll be back later with the post for this ensemble. Have a great day!

It’s Still Coming Down!

The television meteorologists were all wrong! We were supposed to get up to 7″ of snow, and instead we got about 12″—and it’s still coming down, heavier than ever! This is a February snowstorm, wet and heavy. Luckily we were able to cancel our plans and call it a “snow day”, so a stay-at-home day for us.
