Sophie has been terribly under the weather lately, coughing and sneezing and getting more than her share of aww-poor-baby hugs. Since she was tired of laying around, she decided to help out with the Christmas spirit around here and came up with a most beautiful decoration, now hanging from our dining room ceiling...
I love having this little elf around.
Btw, Mike is also really sick, but he doesn't know how to make cool snowflakes. He does, however, remind me of an overgrown elf.
I hope both of your "elves" feel better. We have had the usual "winter cold" around here as well. Sophie has inherited her mom's creativity! I bet you all have real snowflakes about that size in Nebraska! Brrrrrrr!

Wow, that is really cool!! Looks like Sophie is another talented and creative being. Hope the two elves feel better soon. Not fun being sick.

Very cool Sophie! I really like your snowflake. I hope you feel better soon! Maybe you can teach your Dad how to make a snowflake too! It will take his mind off of being sick too!

What is that young'n (as my granny would say) doing in a tank top? Layers, Sophie, Layers! It's cold! ;) Feel better soon!

For your sick elf and Mike, rub some Vicks on the bottom of their feet, put socks on to cover and send them to bed. Works wonders! Worth a try at least.
Loved the snowflake she cut out! How beautiful!
Happy Stitching!

Sophie did a great job on the snowflake ... how did she do that? would love to know and make one also! Hope your family gets well soon ... it is no fun to be sick in December.

Wow! That's amazing! I want one!! If she can do that when she is feeling poorly, then I can only imagine what she can do when she is 100%!
Hope everyone is feeling better!

I was so sick this week I had to go to the Doctor - as one of the uninsured, not something I typically do -- so that's how sick I was. Instead of making snowflakes, I finished Boris!
Hope Sophie and Mike feel better!

I hope Mike and Sophie are feeling better now!
Our stiching groug made these same snowflakes to decorate the hall where we gather. However I didn't see how to make them since I was absent that night. They're beautiful for sure!

Wow, what a cool paper star Sophie made. How did she do that? Please explain to me...
Hope you're all feeling better soon.
