C - C - C - Cold!

I know it's not breaking news - it got very cold here a couple of days ago and it snowed. The temperatures have remained very low - with the magical windchill factor it was all the way down to -18 C yesterday. Brrrr.



On Sunday our little family bundled up to take the recent Fawn& Forest order to the post office by sled. Little R. loved it - her favourite part of wintery snow is her snow pants. I have never seen a child so enthusiastic for padded trousers with straps that go whishk, whishk, whishk as she walks.

Given that yesterday was too cold for outtings, Amie came over to spend Monday with Little R. They popped popcorn and strung garlands for the birds while I got to work finishing a number of custom orders. One was a very beautiful stocking for a local family, one of my best customers - it was a joy to work on. I'll take some pictures later today to show you all.

Today is another inside day - I've got organic butter and eggs now at room temperature and this morning Little R. and I will make gingerbread cookies. I don't think we'll get as adventurous as my friends up North, though I am inspired. :) Time to get to my little baker - happy snowy day to you!
