Build a Snowman

How do you build a snowman with no snow? You make them out of fabric. Aren't these the cutest place mats?
Candace made four of them for me and sent them for Christmas. I just love them and they look so good with my vintage table cloth that my grandma crocheted. These will stay out all winter. The little jar is some local honey from where Candace lives which is in Washington state. I tried it in my tea the other morning and it is delightful. Thank you so much Candace for such a fun gift that I can use all winter long.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

I like the idea of a snowman border. That way, when the plate is on it, you can still see the snowmen.

Oh, I love those snowmen Carrie! What a nice surprise and I bet that's part of the Figgy Pudding fabric line. I would leave those out until spring, so fun.
