January Fun: Fleece Snowman Hat

Here's one last snowman idea for your winter fun -
a fleece Snowman Hat!!!

I made these a few years ago - well, I guess more like five . . .
where does the time go?


I made them for JT and my nieces and they were super cute.


You can find the tutorial HERE at Family Fun.
One thing that I would do differently than the tutorial says
is to sew the face and the buttons on before you sew the two
pieces together. I've done it both ways and I liked doing
all the details first.

Check Me Out: {Featured} on KSL Studio 5

So excited to be featured on KSL Studio 5 today!!
They did a feature on Trendy Valentines
and my MUAH Valentines were featured.


Here's the clip!










January Fun: Snowman Soup

Well, we're back into the 80's 'round these parts :(
And just when I thought the rain
and wintry weather was going to stick around.

But, one of my favorite snowman themed treats to share
with friends is SNOWMAN SOUP!!!
I've done it almost every year for the past 10 years.
It's so fun!

I've done it several different ways:

::INDIVIDUAL PACKETS::
These were made with small cellophane bags,
but I've also used sandwich bags.

Then I add:
1 packet of cocoa
mini-marshmallows
mini candy canes
Hersey Kisses

Then staple a cute little topper to it.
I used the text free version of Kate Hadfield's printables.
She also has her own little Snowman Soup poem,
but I used my own.


::BIG FAMILY SET::
For this version I got a new paint can
from the home improvement store and cuted it up with
THIS PRINTABLE by Penny Springmann.
It's already the right size for a paint can, so it's perfect.
I changed it up a bit and used my own poem,
but you can totally use as is.

I filled this one with:
several packets of hot cocoa
large candy canes
mini marshmallows
Hershey kisses


::IN A MUG::
Grab a cute snowman themed mug,
add the ingredients for your "soup",
wrap in cellophane,
add the tag and you're good to go!

And because I like you so much,
I made you a little tag to make your own.
It's a 4x6 print, just right click and save!

TOO Cute Tuesday: Linky Par-Tay! #67

So my craft room/nursery had become shamefully messy.
We're talking my husband was going to call Hoarders: Buried Alive
on me if I didn't do something about it ASAP.
So since I've been really sick and have been home bound,
I decided yesterday was the perfect day to get 'er done!

::BEFORE::



::AFTER::


It's still not perfect and I really want to
go through my fabric stash and PURGE things
I know I'll never use, but we're saving that for another day :)
And of course a I dream of a REAL craft room one day,
but who doesn't?


Now onto TOO Cute Tuesday!
