Cozy Up For Christmas

There is something wonderful about putting on a cozy something!

A cozy sweater that keeps the chill away...

A cozy pair of socks before slipping your feet between the cool bedsheets...

A cozy pair of mitts are the perfect barrier from the cold air while out of doors...

and how about a cozy scarf that not only keeps the wintry cold out 

but also adds a splash of colour and flair to any outfit!!

I love scarves!

I loved my great grandfather's scarf - an simple yet elegant black flannel with small black

 buttons that allowed the scarf to lay flat and be buttoned like a shirt - nice and neat!

I loved my classic red plaid scarf made from fine soft wool!

I love my fuchsia pashmina that I use as a winter scarf - it can hang straight,

be tied up in any fancy knot or twist, or I can toss an end over my shoulder for a dramatic look 

I don't often go for drama - but when I do...

As you all must know by now I also love dogs!

If you didn't happen to know that, check out some of my past blog posts:

Here, here, here, here, and here for a few examples!  

Well, if you can put two things together that you love - that makes it even better right?!

Exactly.

So let's "Cozy up for Christmas" with a new holiday card design series:

 "Dogs With Scarves"

       

I will post three 'Dogs With Scarves' designs each day 

for the next several days. When I have posted them all I will

begin to feature the holiday cards I have created using

my 'Dog With Scarves' designs!

So if you aren't already following me, why don't you take a few moments

to type your email in the little spot over on the right hand margin! 

Don't worry, we'll wait for you before we continue on.

Okay, that took a little longer than I thought, but it's all good! It's all good!

On to the new 'Dogs With Scarves' designs!

Oh, c'mon you knew I had to feature a collie first!! 

Duncan is wearing the timeless "Duncan" clan tartan/plaid.

Okay... on to the next!

~ Can you guess this lovely poodle's middle name??

"Red"

Red is his favourite colour - it seemed only appropriate it be his name too!

God willing, I will post the next three "Dog With Scarves" on Monday!

In the meanwhile, I hope you stay cozy as the cold

weather begins to settle in for the season!
