Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday! We hope everyone is having a lovely day. It’s exceptionally cold here (brrr…we’re definitely bundled up in layers today!), but it’s so beautiful with the sun shining and snow glistening. Oh, and it’s National Poinsettia Day! “Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.” – Laura Ingalls Wilder

It’s time for a holiday question on the blog! Today’s question is: What is your favorite winter activity? Let us know in the comments below. Mine would be ice skating, and then coming to home a warm fireplace and green tea! Let’s see what our Design Studio team’s favorites are:

Marion: Tobogganing with kids, followed by hot cocoa.

Valeria: I love walking around Montreal’s Old Port eating cinnamon Queue de castor (Canadian fried dough)! ♥

Juan: Making a gingerbread house with my kids!

Andra: Taking a walk in the evening when the snow is falling and everything looks magical, it’s truly a winter wonderland. 

Shannen: My favorite winter activity is not very active. I like anything that keeps me warm and cozy! Think warm, thick socks & sweaters, hot drink in hand & next to the woodstove while spending time with my family.

We’ve got another Thankful Thursday for you, and today we taking the time to thank Ingrid from Freddie’s Friends. Freddie’s Friends is a shop dedicated to sewing patterns, pillows, stuffies, fabric, and more! Ingrid is the pattern designer behind Freddie’s Friends and creates the most adorable, raw-edged stuffed creatures/pillows that are easy to follow and fun to sew. And who exactly is “Freddie”? We love the story behind the name, as “Freddie” is actually one of Ingrid’s many nicknames! :)

We have had the pleasure of working with Ingrid and Freddie’s Friends, as Ingrid has sewn some of Freddie’s Friends for us using our fabric. Some of our favorite are Olive the Owl (we are currently giving away this pattern on our blog!), Lee Lee the Lion, and Becky’s Flower…but they are all super sweet! We adore how cuddly and friendly they are…the perfect snuggle buddy for the little ones in your life. Below are some of ours!
