Usually through the winter I try to fill my time with things that keep my mind occupied and creativity flowing. I had a few projects this winter that came upon me on a whim and turned out not too bad.
I made dolls for the first time and had a blast with those. They needed hair and dresses and jewelry, of course and I had fun imagining them in their adoptive homes with my nieces.

I made pies, bread stix, ice cream, gifts, gained a few pounds, and made it through another winter as easily as if I had indoor plumbing, electricity, and close proximity to the grocery store(which I do). Yup, gotta admire those who accomplish more than that without it!
