My kitchen is decorated for the season with "snowmen". I don't love the snow all the time but I love snowmen -I like looking at snowmen decorations, I like making snowmen, and I make an awesome "real" snowman! Most of these decorations stay up for the winter -I find them cheerful during our long , cold , dark winter here in Ontario. I use little white lights over the doorways, hutch and counter top -some of them remain all year -I love the ambient light they give off. Many of the snowflakes are crocheted gifts from talented friends -I've never learned -maybe this year????
My skinny kitchen tree has snow folk of all descriptions that I've collected over the past 30 years. A treasured few are from my childhood. After mom & dad died dividing up the ornaments that my 3 siblings and I grew up with ,was one of the harder tasks -everyone had their favourites and sometimes they were the same!
My friend Dorothy is a full time artist -"Father Frost" was a gift a few years ago when she played with Fimo clay. My kids think he's creepy, but he lives at the top of the skinny tree each winter, doing his frosting from there.
I've made most of the wooden, painted and fabric snowmen over the years and am always on the lookout for snowmen cookie jars -these ones are filled with chocolate chip cookies, JJ's favourite.
