{ It's getting colder, let's add a layer }

I know, it rhymes ! :P

It's true, it got suddenly MUCH colder than it was last week, and today the highest was 07.5°C / 45.5°F, and it's currently around 04°C / 39°F, so you see it has considerably gone down ! So today we went to school with an extra layer ! I think it's supposed to be even colder tomorrow, so we'll take the mittens out !!
Speaking of cold ... (can you feel the transition ?) ... today's activity of the Advent Calendar was ... (day 14) Make a Flake !!! An easy activity, I know, but they still loved it !
Here's the link : { Make-a-Flake }


And still speaking of cold, I finally decided what I'm going to handmake for my parents & inlaws, for Christmas ... and they're each going to get (if I manage to make them all on time, that is !) a cowl (or scarflette, as you prefer) I have no pattern, so I'll figure them out (and will probably make mistake along the way, but nevermind, nobody's perfect !) and hubby will be my model ! LOL I have decided to use fabrics I have already in my stash & I think it's going to be great ! (wish me luck, though ! LOL) I'm going for pink & florals for the moms, and it'll be probably more classic, like tartan/plaid-like for the dads. Oh well, we'll see.


I'll leave you with some Etsy favorites, winter themed ... aren't they all so beautiful ?!
