Snow Flurries

I wasn't actually planning on doing a new blog post today {honestly}.
I was going to stick strictly to floating around and visiting all of YOUR blogs,
which I have been enjoying immensely throughout the morning.
But then.....
as I drifted past the window...
much to my sheer delight ~
what did I see?
Big
fluffy
snowflakes
coming down all around me!
So ~
I put the kettle on for a nice pot of
Cinnamon Tea...
Settled myself by the kitchen window with a scrumptious biscuit covered in jelly...
And, well, here we go!
Just a few days before Christmas I purchased this wonderful book.
Not only is it full of snowflake patterns to crochet,
it has some lovely projects as well.
Upon seeing the gorgeous scarf full of snowy flakes my sister reminded me
 she has a January birthday.
Uh, well...
maybe next January {or next Christmas}.
It's going to take a blizzard to create that baby!
So I started small
with a few colorful flakes.
They were so much fun to crochet!
First they had to be stiffened.
Then they had to be pinned.
And of course, attached to gifts under the tree!
Now ~
as the snow continues to fall
 outside my snug little kitchen
I must get a pot of
Vegetable Soup
on to simmer.
 
Hope you all have a
warm
safe
happy
&
healthy
New Year's Eve

    1. Oh! I never thought about the fact you live in a place where it doesn't snow! I prefer warm weather but I would miss the snow if we didn't have it too. I will be sure to post pictures if we get a BIG snow this year ~ especially for YOU!
      Happy New Year
      I look forward to blogging with you in 2012
