Wonderful Wednesday...

Where we go to get away from it all...


Mossy even in the winter.


Peaceful...


Playful.


Beautiful...
A whole herd of elk were in these woods, she is the only one that would pose for me.

Jolly Snowman...

Pictured above is the snowman by Martha Stewart.

To see how Martha made hers click HERE.

I made mine a little different... First off, I used really soft fluffy yarn and made my own pom poms instead of buying them. I used black embroidery thread for the eyes. I did the felt hat just like Martha but added a little snowflake embellishment to make it more cute. The carrot nose is felt but I sewed little black lines by hand to make it look more like a real carrot. For the scarf I used ribbon off a package someone had given me and sewed little red buttons to his front to finish him off.  This snowman is fun and easy to make. He would look cute on a Christmas tree, a gift or just about anywhere! This would be a wonderful craft to do with your kids.

Merry Christmas!
