“Dead Snowmen in a Jar”

See, I told you I’d be back! 
Last week was hubby’s last vacation of the year, so we took a few days to drive over to Michigan. 
Even though Michigan is only about a 4-5 hour drive away from us here in western PA, we’ve never been to Michigan.  We decided to venture over there to take a tour of the Ford factory.
I forgot to take my camera with me, so you’ll see no pictures, but I’m very happy to report that the people in Michigan seem to be normal!
They talk a little funny, but other than that, they look and act just like the normal folk that live around PA. 
In spite of the rainy, windy and cold weather, it was still nice to get away.  I didn’t have to cook for a few days either!


So, what’s been going on around here?  Well, believe it or not, I don’t always just work with wool.  I do take some time to do other crafty things once in a while.
I made some little snowmen for this glass vase……
They’re just white cotton rag balls. I painted some faces on them. I plan to dirty them up a bit by spraying them with some tea and baking them.
It’s always fun to see/hear the reaction from my family members after I’ve made something different. 
The grandson dumped them out and told me he was going to put them back together, and proceeded to stack them.
Jen came in to pick him up and I don’t remember exactly what she said but the word “creepy” was the main verbal point.
Then Rachel came home and saw them.  She laughed and said, “Why do you have dead snowmen in a jar?”
This lack of support from my family might be disturbing to some, but I take great pride in living up to my “crazy wool lady” reputation.
Now, all of you readers, do me a favor and tell my daughters what YOU think of my crafty creation….
When you look at this picture, do you see creepy dead snowmen in a jar or do you see cute little snowman faces peering out of……. … ok, wait … maybe it is a bit creepy ….

Happy Day everyone!
