Please note: I started this post at the end of December, as a part 2 (part 1) showing the rest of our First Day of Winter Party/crafting & decorating for the winter season...sorry that it has taken so long to finish the post! =] ...better late than never, right?

Crocheted Snowflakes~
Anneliese's blog: Aesthetic Nest is one of the blogs I follow, well actually I am subscribed~ it comes right into my inbox! (you can subscribe to my blog too, you know...and you would be anonymous- blogger does not tell me who is subscribed...)
Click here for the instructions...And then Anneliese made them with twine too: Here
I made a little how-to video, you can watch it here: (click here)
(I was not very loud...be sure that your volume is turned up!)
While we were out shopping on December 26th, we met my grandparents & Uncle for lunch. While we were at Panera Bread, I was crocheting snowflakes, and the nice lady in the booth catty-corner from us was interested in what I was doing! She really made my day~ I knelt in the aisle, gave her my set of printed instructions (& my e-mail address), and showed her how to do it! She mentioned how she crocheted the little green wreaths, and I said that my Great-Grandma used to make those, and she said "MY Grandma used to make them! That's why I do!". Mrs. Griggs did e-mail me, and I replied...I wonder if I've found a new friend, or if we just touched each others lives in passing. =)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Embedded here is Harry Nilsson's "The Puppy Song" :
LED lights strung across the living room, with both kinds of snowflakes hanging off them~
LED lights around the window, with paper snowflakes in the window~
We buy our lights and other decore on clearance after the holidays.
It's more fun that way, and the dollars go MUCH further!
