doilies, puzzle pieces and socks all make great snowmen

This started out as a completely different idea that flopped but I didn't feel like reworking the original idea yesterday and so this idea was born.

It was hard to photograph in early morning light and tacking it up isn't really the way to go but I wanted to get this up early! I really like it and my MIL whose style is predominantly white, lacy, cottagy with a large dose of old woman will probably love it.

Another puzzle piece craft. I love this little guy. He is adorable!!

I am seriously tempted to keep him.

These guys aren't my favorite but they are very, very tactile!! The girls loved the first two I made (the shorter ones) and requested some for themselves. So last night I made the two taller ones. K requested purple for hers and C really liked the guy with the hat. They are super duper easy - definitely a must if you have socks laying around!!

Snowmen and the Independence Day Weekend

We had a very busy Independence Day weekend - busy and good. Late Friday afternoon, I made my first snowman of the weekend. He was a tall snowman made out of the sleeves of two different types of sweaters.

The sleeve of a white sweater made his body and the sleeve and band from a Fair Isle sweater made his hat and scarf.

On Saturday morning, I made a bottle cap snowman (the one with sheet music) and a light bulb snowman.

Saturday afternoon, we went to the annual party that our neighbors throw. I didn't get an pictures of the girls because they spent most of their time in the backyard. But here are Chris and Kate's two adorable children.

I think K was the one who instigate H's tears.

Doesn't their daughter M have the most stunning eyes?

After the party, I had a photo shoot. Sunday morning we went to church. Sunday evening we went to fireworks.

Monday morning, I got up early and made the short sweater snowman then I worked on photos from the Saturday evening photo shoot. Monday afternoon, we went to the house of some friends for a pool party.

Monday evening, we went to more fireworks.

Hubby had yesterday off. I spent the day finishing photos from the weekend and making one last snowman (the dictionary page bottle cap snowman).

P.S. These snowman make 23-25.
