Winter Trees by George Szirtes Aren’t you cold and won’t you freeze, With branches bare, you winter trees? You’ve thrown away your summer shift, Your autumn gold has come adrift. Dearie me, you winter trees, What strange behaviour, if you please! In summer you could wear much less, But come the winter – you undress! …
This is an easy and fun project to do with the kids. In our Winter Wonderland unit we encourage feeding the birds and include several different bird feeder crafts in the activities. This Frozen Fruit Ring Bird Feeder, can add a festive flair to your bird feeder area or just add some lovely color to …
We’ve all heard the expression “You can’t see the forest for the trees” meaning someone gets so bogged down with the details that they fail to see the big picture. I’m just the opposite, I get so immersed in the big picture that I often lose sight of the detail. Because of that, I can …
“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, Brown paper packages tied up with strings, These are a few of my favorite things.” from Favorite Things by Rodgers and Hammerstein Here is our Warm Woolen Mittens Coloring Page based on our Warm Woolen Mittens Applique Block. The Warm …
We have all heard the adage “Actions speak louder than words” and in the realm of artistic expression, nothing could be more true.

I remember a time when jeans were my go-to, super comfy, wear all the time wardrobe staple. Maybe this was because I spent my high school and college years sporting the 90s “grunge” look with loose, carpenter jeans (that were actually made out of cotton), flannel shirts, and generally comfy clothes. I stole sweaters from …
“In the meadow we can build a snowman, And pretend that he is Parson Brown. He’ll say are you married, we’ll say “No man”. But you can do the job when you’re in town.” from Walking in a Winter Wonderland by Felix Bernard (music) and Richard B. Smith (lyricist) Here is our Happy Snowman Coloring Page based on …
Ever since we added our master bedroom suite onto our house last spring, it’s become a hub of activity for our grandbabies. It is right off our family room and they tend to spread toys out on the floor, relax in the whirlpool or jump on our king-sized bed. Tim and I don’t mind one bit, …
Sometimes I forget that NOT everyone is on Facebook where I announced last week that grandbaby number six, our precious little Peanut, was born on New Year’s Eve. Mama had a crazy long delivery, 36 hours, and wound up delivering c-section, but Mommy, Baby and Daddy are all doing very well, and we are so filled with …
Today we are sharing our Winter Tree Applique Block. Although it may seem rather stark and boring, I can relate to our leafless winter trees, contently hibernating, yet at the same time preparing for their busy growing months that loom just around the corner. Like all of our applique blocks, our Winter Tree was made to …
There was no white Christmas this year. Those of us that live in the Northern United States, like Michigan, tend to feel cheated when our Christmases aren’t white. It’s what we’ve come to expect after all. It’s what “they” sing songs about, center movies around, and it is the quintessential scene on the vast majority …
