Dealing with the Winter Blues, Tea for Two / Upcoming Paint Parties

Call me crazy (I’m ok with it) but I made a snow lady and we had tea, together - Silly moments with Kayla - see time-lapse video & follow me on social for more art and weirdness. @kaylacuellarart @kayla.cuellar.fine.art

I Love Winter, BUT…

Give me a snowy mountain cabin or lodge with sleds, skis or igloo making supplies (or all of the above) …OR BETTER YET, another SNOWPOCALYPSE and you’ll have a happy girl, right here. But when winter hits in the high desert of western Idaho we usually don’t get much snow. I have to drive at least an hour to get to where it is white all winter. And that leaves me with brown, boring landscapes, windowscapes and walks and I DON’T do well with that.

So when it snows, here, I take full advantage of it as best I can. That usually means keeping people off my front lawn so as not to destroy the clean, white beauty, while it lasts. And taking all the snow from my driveway and sidewalks to make a snow creation. Usually, if there’s enough snow, you’ll find me making a snow Snoopy, complete with dog house & Woodstock. The last two times I did that I included Charlie Brown, too! It was epic.

Then, as my creation melts faster than I’m ready for, after all that work AND as FUNNY as it is to see Snoopy melt, my heart is sad to see the brown winter return…

This year it’s been a VERY brown. Last week, when it finally SNOWED 6 inches I only had time to make a traditional snowman. So to change it up & made a snowlady & WE HAD TEA because when I went to look for a hat, I remembered the old hats I had gotten out of the closet for a tea party I attended the week before. Catch the time-lapse video on my social media feed (link).

Here’s hoping your winter is going the way you enjoy it most!  And if not, you are finding joy in all the ways you can, this season. If you need some ideas, maybe invite some friends over for a tea party with the requirement to wear a hat (dress or not). The promise of spring is just around the corner so DON’T LOSE HOPE. Warmly, Kayla
