Baby it's cold outside!

It's really been cold here in Michigan, so I thought I would share just a  couple of  my "indoor" snowmen.







The one around my flocked tree are a little hard to see, but there are a few of the "ice cube" snowmen at the base. 

A couple weeks ago we were suffering through 12 below wind chills with temperatures going down to about -6 at night.  I was going to make my winter hat (knit), but I didn't have the right sized needles, so instead I got out my wool yarn and made myself a pair of socks. 



 I have to say, they kept me toasty warm  this past weekend when we did the Christmas Walk at Greenfield Village. 

Hope everyone is staying warm and that you are ready for the holidays.  I finally am; and I am looking forward to all the festivities with family and friends.

  1. I didn't know you were a snowman collector! Hmmm, sounds like a quilt - maybe another one yo should start? Beautiful! And I love the socks. You know I really should learn to knit!
