Warm and welcoming.

I really, really, really want to make this.  Will I have time?  Where does the time go?

OK, it's not really the Now Me.  Rather a Retro Me.  How much of me will turn retro over time?  

Time is running out. There's always next year.

Fabric Snowman Wreath

    This friendly snowman replaces a traditional evergreen wreath and will greet guests with a smiling face on your front door. For the face, sew together two circles of white fleece, stuffing polyester fiberfill in between. Cut the sleeves from an old flannel shirt, and sew them together, making a tube. Cut across an 18-inch straw wreath (where the bottom of the design is) and pull the sleeves gently onto the wreath, filling the empty spaces with fiberfill. Stuff knit gloves or mittens with fiberfill and attach at the bottom of the wreath. Pin the head to the top of the wreath and tack the scarf in place. Glue any desired greenery to sections of the wreath and hang on your front door.

Lois, I have been known to make this type of decoration AFTER the holiday and then it is 'new' for next year!!!
Much less stress :)
