Winter has finally showed itself...and just as quickly left

On Thursday the 12th winter finally arrived. We had a few flurries here and there earlier this year but nothing that actually stuck. It started as a very dreary day, which warranted some fun crafts. Perler beads! I am admittedly a bit of a nerd/geek so most of my little crafty projects lean to that subject. The perler beads were a gift this past Christmas from my mother who had a fun  time explaining to the cashier that they were for her 25 year old daughter.


I love the 8-bitiness of the fused beads. Such good geekery. ;)

And of course, the snowy weather didn't last long. By the next day it was bright with only a few patches of snow under bushes. Last year we were hit with snow and ice that used up all of this snow days for kids but this year has been much less eventful. At least we got a taste of it. :)
