Sadly, the snow has melted, washed away by today's unseasonably warm rain.
Here to stay, however (or to go live with Meg, my Holiday Traditions Swap partner), is Snowbaby.
Snowbaby is a slicker facsimile of a little guy my mom and I got at a craft fair when I was about three years old. The original Snowbaby is pretty sad looking--two foam balls with some matted fiberfill "snow" sort of glued on. He is always lovingly settled on a bow of the Christmas tree at my parents' house, napping away the season, and I think this version captures his spirit of innocence and sleepy joy pretty closely.That's my first crack EVER at a tutorial up there, folks, so go easy on me. Something's wrong with my printer and it keeps smudging everything up. Argh. Still, if you want to make a Snowbaby to live in your tree, have at it.

Snowbaby looks adorable! I will have to try him out. I am collecting patterns to make hubby's cousin a "handmade Christmas ornament package" wedding gift.
You should give it a try--he's really easy to make. Let me know how it goes if you do!
All of my holiday craftiness has amounted to *intentions,* but I did print out your cute pattern, so that is one step further to craft-happening than I have been all season.
Thank you!
