Cupcake Day

Cupcakes for Gramma's 83rd Birthday today!

Material stash coin purses

My first batch of coin purses.

Little surprises to view inside.

Just had to put chocolate coins in these, can't give a purse without money in it, right?

I am thinking to incorporate at least one zipper in these to make them official 'coin'  purses
.
These are more of a 3 pocket credit/gift card purse really.

A strap that could be tucked into the back pocket when not in use too would make them more versatile.

Paper Snowflake Ballet Dancers

Our ballet dancers are hanging out at Keri's house.
I decided to add the link to the snowflake ballerina pattern.  You will probably have to copy and paste as I am still learning how to add links to the blog.  I love how easily language is translated too.  You can see them  on my Pinterest board named Winter, I just had to repin them!

Holiday Season

A dusting of snow early in the morning, but not quite enough to get that late start to school/work!



Snow is so rare in the city and is sooo cool!
It looks so dark at 630 in the morning.
Shorter days are on their way - hooray!


This years tree gets the red and whites...

Tucked in all kinds of gnomes, elves and Santa's.
