fire and ice

{d.i.y. wintry votive}
Seems to me that everyone has snow, but us. We’ve had rain, rain, and more rain. Being cooped up indoors with time to savor your winter wonderlands (and an abundance of glass baby food jars), I suppose my muse was awakened. Every windowsill in my house may be filled with these by week’s end.

Oh dear… Somewhere between the nose-wiping and sprite-pouring I forgot to post the winner from the Sew, Mama, Sew Giveaway Day. Forgive me! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about all of your wonderful holiday traditions. Thank you for taking time to share them. Congratulations to Denise K. She writes: My favorite tradition as a child were the presents (2) that we got to open Christmas Eve. One from faraway family & one from “gramma & grampa” who came for dinner Christmas Eve. Grampa always read the story of Jesus birth and we sang CHRISTmas carols, too. Now I am passing the tradition on to my lil’ girl.
