Sew Day!

Or Snow day, whatever you want to call it.

Yay, we FINALLY had a snow day here. Zero visibility, whiteout conditions and they finally canceled school! And work. And the store. And every other place of business in town. So, basically we were all stuck in our houses, even the loaders gave up until the storm subsided.

I do have a garage can you see it!?

Which was around 2 pm today! And it is SO beautiful after a storm. Aside from the five feet of snow we have to SHOVEL to get out, its great. Powder riding, warm temperatures, sunny. Mother Nature's sorry letter for making us live in the north!

I don't know what other people do when its Snow Day, but over here, we SEW.

Calfskin, Beaver, Mouton and Leather with Fleece lining.

A lot.

So, in keeping with the "Celebrate the Boy" month theme, I'm going to give away the boy mukluks. (I made the purple calfskin ones specifically for my niece...ain't she ADORABLE!?)

I made these with Leather (contrasting brown leathers), blue felt and Beaver Trim with a yellow fleece lining. They will fit a chubby 2 month old to a skinny 6 month old! And they're WARM.

If you HAVE a Boy, WANT a Boy, NEED a Boy, KNOW a Boy, or have ever SEEN a Boy...you qualify to enter.

Simply leave a comment on my blog letting me know what the BEST THING ABOUT BOY'S ARE!

Here's my BEST thing: Boy's are NOT DRAMATIC. And my boy is just that. Not Dramatic. And I sure do love that!

OK, you have until Saturday the 19th at Midnight ALASKA time to comment to enter. One entry per person, but feel free to comment however many times you want. Oh, and feel free to let people who have babies with cold feet know!
