baby it's cold outside
The thermometer said 4º F this morning. Yeee-ouch. That's not enough degrees. And the highs all week are in the teens with a little snow here and there. J is praying for a snow day.
The teepee is done! Go look at it! It's so cute. (I'm not posting a photo here because of my little McSneakyPants and my track record for accidentally leaving up the website and revealing surprises.) I used this pattern. I was hemming and hawing over it at book club the other night and my friend Char said to go find a pattern. Duh! It was time consuming but very easy. I CANNOT WAIT for him to see it.
Stay warm, kids. I need more hot coffee now.

Definitely not enough degrees. But at least frost pictures are beautiful.

Yes, we definitely need more degrees. Charlotte cried all the way to the gym this morning. She's no snowbunny.
I love the ice crystal photos, even if I don't like ice.

Between yesterday at 6 a.m. and today at 6 a.m. the temperature here dropped 43°. Talk about not enough degrees. I'm not loving the winter right now which is concerning since the kind of dislike I'm feeling doesn't usually settle in until about February. It's gonna be a long one.
I've had the same teepee pattern and 6 yards of printed canvas from Ikea sitting in my closet for about 3 years now. It's good to see how well the pattern sews up, even if it wasn't me doing the sewing. One of these days...

Yeah, the temps today were not fit for person or beast. Your frost photos are awesome, though. And the teepee...the best!

Cool teepee! I love it. Also...how is the cedar tree working out? I live near KC and may want to try it next year. Thanks!

Ooh, I almost showed that pic to the girls only to remember how good (not) they are at keeping secrets. They'd spill the beans to J. by Sunday! :) Wow, he will LOVE it!!

The teepee is so cool! Your kids are going to love it! I work at a kids shop in Sydney and we sell them for $349.99. I am sure yours came under that! Looks fantastic!
