I miss ice skating.
It is something that really reminds me of Little Women, I just adore that movie the old one, 1949, with Elizabeth Taylor, June Allyson and Janet Leigh soooo good.
We use to go every winter in Forest Park back in St. Louis.
There would be snow on the ground and hot cocoa flowing in the concession stand.
Oh I miss winter.
Today is like a winter day, the skies are very puffy and gray. The wind is howling and it is supposed to start raining by night fall. But it is still very warm :( so it only kinda looks like Christmas.
So since I was a good girl and spent all morning cleaning and purging, I decided to sit this afternoon and make little felt ice skate garland for the end of our sleigh bed.
Making them double sided and so they actually can be stockings to hold little candy canes.
I also sat up late last night, yes way past my bed time and finished myself a little red hat.
It would be so cute and warm as I glided across the ice...I can dream, right?

Love your new hat and garland, Amy...you are a woman of many talents!
Hi Amy - LOVE that garland & also love your new hat. I meant to say a couple of posts back - I love your new hair colour too. Good on you - I am dreaming of some new creativity once the "mayhem" is over :-) Hugs, Julie
Oh my god, how are you this productive??? I love the garland - super cute!! And the hat is really gorgeous with your new hair colour. The pompom top is to die for adorable!! I am jealous of your stamina.
Oh my goodness Amy, I didn't even recognize you! You look gorgeous!!! Can't wait to see you next week.
Hope you all have a wonderful visit!
Sincerely,
Melinda
LOVE the hat! The garland is pretty darn cute, too. There is a synthetic ice rink on the river walk in Tuscalaoosa. Shanley is going skating with her friends today. I'm surprised there isn't one in your town!
But there's nothing like skating outside on real ice, like in Beaver Creek, Colorado!
