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
