Haven't found my holiday spirit yet, maybe because we don't have any snow. That's unusual for December in Minnesota, but who knows, maybe this is the new normal.

If you have young kids and live in a cold climate

If you have young kids and live in a cold climate you can probably relate to this artwork. I remember at the beginning of each winter, laying out all the hats and coats, and pairing up all the mittens and boots, and trying to determine which ones the kids had outgrown and which ones we could get one more year out of. (It's also how the floor looked after they came in from sledding!)

I licensed 4 or 5 of my patterns to Atlantic Lugga

I licensed 4 or 5 of my patterns to Atlantic Luggage a couple years ago and I just found out one of them is still on the market! Of the dozen sample bags I have in my basement this is almost always the one I pick whenever I travel. It's lightweight but sturdy and I love the colors. If anyone's interested, here's where it's available: https://atlanticluggage.com/collections/spinner-luggage/products/atlantic-ultra-lite-4-21-expandable-floral-spinner?variant=31780579967060

Sheep aren't the only critters in my world that wear scarves and mittens. Even polar bears like to feel warm and cozy.
