WHAT TO DO WITH "EXTRA" SNOW!!!

Hi--I am Miss Gracie--

and I have a story to tell you tonight!!

My mom decided that as it was so cold and snowy--

that she needed to do something to remember this winter--

so she took this--

ball of warm -- off white yarn and these tiny short wood needles--

and guess what she made with them???

Two cute snow ladies--

Hey gals--that is the wrong direction--

you can't trust a snowpersons directions--remember???

that's better girls--

but can you come alittle closer????

OK--now this is better!!!

see how cute these came out--

and you know my Mom--she has to change things alittle from the patterns--

here she made a shawl type bonnet instead of just the bonnet--

and she added cute buttons to each one instead of black yarn knots--

and the noses -- she said there was NO way she was gonna attempt the pattern ones--besides she really did not care for them--

then she remembered she had some painted wood ones left over from another project couple years ago--

She had taken little wood Christmas bulb shapes and painted them orange and used them for noses and after looking for them awhile (she is very organized now--only she can't remember "where" she organized everything tooooo!!!)

but she did find them and she said they where worth the "hunt"!!!

(me -- if I am going to go hunting--I would much rather hunt for something "alive"--like a mouse!!!!)

and here is the original  picture--

 Next year or when ever she may make some of the smaller ones--

she said these are fairly easy to make--unless--

unless -- you have a "fur" ball who likes to eat the yarn as she knits--

now I have no idea whom she is talking about here!!?????

And she said to tell you to be sure to read yesterday's post--

she is still waiting on some more places to visit--

so far she is going to Florida--California, and Maryland!!!!

Ok I 'bestest' go for now--

I have to get to her chair before she does---

it's a game we like to play!!!!!
