food, crochet, merriment
Another LOVELY perk of having Dane and Kortney back in town is that they get to share some of their unique Christmas traditions with us.
Welcome to the Whoville Grinch Party!!
Cindy-lou Who even showed up!!
Great artwork Daney boy and wonderful Grinch party!! It’s sooooo fantastic to have you and your family with us.
(Now if we can just get them to STAY)
Snowmen seem to be all the thing these days, so when I saw this pattern, I desperately wanted to make it for my sweet Jillian–who loves snowmen! It took a bit of tweaking to get everything they way I wanted it–but in the end he’s just what we wanted. Check out his cute little stick arms and mittens! And what can we say about that carrot nose?
Ohhhh, my, but he turned out cute!
I found this sweet little snowman pattern just a few days before our family Christmas party.
It whipped up so quickly that I made another one.
And then…and then…and then and then and then… AHHHH!!
They were just so dang cute that I couldn’t stop!!
Before I knew which way was up–I had a pile of sweet, sturdy little snowmen! Turns out I had one for each of my kids and my sister and my sweet friend.
In the words of our favorite boy wizard, “It was like MAGIC!!”
If you’re feeling the crochet snowman bug too–you’ll find the pattern here.
You’re very welcome.
Ohhhh my goodness! How many times have we made these crazy little houses?!
However, we haven’t actually done one quite like this. Notice the double chimneys. There’s your first hint.
See if you can figure it out.
I worked on this side of the house with my little brick planter and flowers and sweet rock pathway…
and only the stuff I particularly love– on the roof.
Ok, on half the roof.
There was someone else making a whole different building, with a totally different vibe, on the other side of this house.
Think of it like the ultimate Christmas duplex–if you will.
Mrs. Claus on one side and Mr. Grinch on the other. Haha.
It was very him–if you get my drift.
Hazel said that her house looked so good that she wanted to eat it. No one could think of a reason for her not to do it…
…so she did.
I hope we do this every year…
forever.
