  1. An interesting list. I would have to pass on making a snowman though. We'll see if winter will visit our shores this year. Sometimes daily blue skies make me feel a bit ...well...blue.

    1. Hi Loree,
      I agree, always blue can be blue. I think we depend a bit on the sky to inspire creativity.

    1. Hi Lisa,
      Thank you. The T tunic is an easy pattern. Made with fleece, it can feel like walking around in a blanket.
