Pardon my speedy scan, but in my haste to post and make the lunches for my back to schoolers this morning, I remembered when my boys were little we loved making our very own Winter Igloo. If you have enough snow or marshmallows, this is such a fun thing to do!Take a look here or there a little how to. We used plastic boxes, filled with snow and built round and round and packed the snow. Inside the igloo is surprisingly warm!
Not enough snow for an igloo, then how about a little ice skating fun. The above illustration was commissioned a few years ago for a lovely lady and it still happens to be one of my personal faves. Do you partake in any Winter games or sports to stay active? Have fun and stay warm!

Have fun and stay warm!All the warm wishes have really helped me to feel like my old self again, Thank-you to each of you for your kind comments. Like a spoon full of sugar, you make the medicine go down!
Very nice. I can feel a bit of warmth being inside your adorable igloo and hear the laughter as everyone skates around the rink. Enjoy! xo
ReplyDeleteCute Patricia, so glad you are feeling better. I was going to take Isabella skating this weekend, it is just frigid here though! We wemt last month, and it was so much fun.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back! Enough snow you ask??? We could build a whole village here with all of the snow. Send those kids up here for a visit.
ReplyDeleteLove these illustrations Patricia. Rest and DON'T over-do-it.
Darling drawings! Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the Holiday card - just beautiful!
I'm as dazzled by your handwriting as I am by the art!

Love these winter wonderland images! My husband and kids would love enough snow for an igloo - mommy on the other hand wants to dig her toes in the sand. :)
ReplyDeleteA little sledding, a little skating - either way I'm usually inside making the hot chocolate. We're still in pjs - school starts tomorrow. Enjoy the quiet as much as you enjoyed the chaos.
ReplyDeleteOh man, how I love the thought of a marshmallow igloo!!!! Best wishes to you in the new year. Hope you start feeling 100% soon!
