It's that time of year again, when I start pulling out the extra-cozy blankets
and place them within arms reach of everyone's favourite hangout in our living room
and family room. There's little better than being warm and snug under a fuzzy blanket!
During the day when I am busy around the house and studio,
it's rather inconvenient to wrap myself up in a blanket; seeing as it would
end up getting dragged through wet paint or dunked into soapy dishwater!
So, what is a girl to do?
Pull on a cozy sweater of course!
And that's just what these critters are doing too!
Christmas sweaters + a mug of something hot = Cozy Critters!
I would like you to meet "George".
George likes things in his life to be simple and sweet,
just like his coffee (no milk, two sugars).
He likes the colour blue (simple) and
old-fashioned peppermint candy canes (sweet).
George's friend Nelly (she's a narwhal!)
gifted George with a bright red coffee mug
because she thinks everything needs a 'pop'
of colour. She told George that it reminds
her of the arctic coral she discovered when
she was a young adventuring-seeking calf.
One of George's favourite annual traditions
is having everyone over to his ice floe to
make peppermint fudge. They spend the
afternoon floating around an iceberg or two,
while munching on the minty confection and
sharing stories of their varied arctic adventures!

More Cozy Critters are on their way! Stay tuned!
