we make our own fun :)
Dec. 7th, 2019 11:41 pmToday was very slow at work (even the packages were manageable, despite getting a full UPS delivery on Saturday), so Miss California decided to do some holiday decorating. She made a Christmas tree, and then I suggested making some snow-people. She then suggested a row of snow-people in the front windows, which sounded excellent to me.
So I found some line art and printed 21 snow-people (just three lumps of snow, no internal details or extras), which I cut out and Miss California decorated with buttons and individual faces.
Then we gave them all funny hats. :D
Five top hats, four knitted wool hats with a pompom on top, four straw garden hats with a flower on the brim, four cowboy-style hats, and four baseball caps. The top hats are all black because the best hat design I found came pre-colored, and the baseball caps are all red with various Cornell references, but the others are in an assortment of bright colors because dammit, snow-people deserve interesting hats and winter is dreary enough.
We didn't get our gaggle of snow-people taped into the window today (actual work ate some of our time, shockingly enough), but I will figure out a good way to give them little twig arms on Monday, and Miss California will arrange them in the window on Tuesday.
I'll try to take some photos, because they are ABSURDLY cute.
