Winter Sparkle. . .

 

 

 

Hello my friends,

and happy winter!!

 

I love the magic and beautiful lights of Christmas, but it always feels good to get things cleaned up and be a bit back to normal.

 

A bit of winter. . .inside & Out

 

Hello my friends, while some areas have been hit with heavy snow, here in Utah we have had none to speak of.

 

Our mountains and ski resorts have been suffering.  Its even been too warm to make snow. 

It seems weird to see people in shorts and flip flops with our temps in the upper 50's.

 

But finally, snow has come!  I had almost forgotten how

pretty it is.  :)

 

SNOW Place Like Home

As of late, the weather outside is frightful! With the holiday season drawing to a close sometimes we find ourselves settling in and feeling a bit blue.

As I begin to put away the decorations I always leave some of my Snow fellows out to help warm my heart and home.

This tall fella decided to take a ride in my rustic sled.

This snowman quilt is one of the first ones I made. It was a block exchange our Kennel Girls did. I still love it! Saw this rustic door at R. C. Willey’s when we went to help our friends pick up a chair. My hubby bought it for me. He’s a keeper!

It won’t be long until the mantle will be sporting Valentines décor. Until then let the SNOW begin!

Jars of white and silver in my blue cupboard

More jars – couldn’t stand to leave some empty!

Turquoise bottles are happy to hold a couple of flakes.

Frosty table décor.

My friend, Shelley gave me this cute pedestal bowl for Christmas. It’s holding a few wintery treasures.

It’s hard to see, but the snowman stitchery says “HOPE”. This reminds me daily that winter will not last forever! Myself, I am much more a Spring and Summer kind of girl! Can’t wait until that daily ritual of walking the garden and seeing what plants have dared to stick their heads out first begins. I just have to remind myself, “that daffodils are a comin!” Till then, I’ll hunker down and stay warm and cozy in my abode. Because there is “SNOW” place like home!

The Men in My Life

Every year at this time I find the men in my life to be very COLD! Warm hearted, but oh so COLD! For some unknown reason, I just can’t seem to get enough of them.

At times they can be down right frosty!

They think that they can just sing their way into my heart,

Let me tell you, they are no angels!

I don’t know if it’s their athleticism or what.

I find myself sleeping with them every night. Yes I said them, is that sick or what? I can’t help it, it’s almost a fatal attraction! Is it because I spent so many hours creating them?

I even heard that one of them hung their former girl out to dry.

It doesn’t matter if their tall and thin

or if their short and fat. I just love them!

I even realize that in a couple of months they will all skate their way right out of my life. Oh well, for now I guess I’ll just love my cold, but warm hearted little guys. Hopefully, a few of you will find a few snowmen of your own to love so I won’t have to purchase any more!
