What Could Be Worse Than Snowstorms?

Icy rain. It's actually the term for rain that immediately turns to ice once it hits the ground, which is what we're going to have today and tomorrow. Snowstorms are much better because you can at least walk/drive in it without sliding and you won't get drenched within 10 minutes of being outside.

Newsboy Crochet Aran Fleck by PowersOfLove

I lost my favorite knit cream hat (very similar to the cute one above) somewhere just before this winter started. I originally bought it at Target about three years ago and wore it every winter, but I just haven't seen it again :( which is probably a good thing because I've discovered so many great handmade knit items on Etsy!  The newsboy hat above is actually the same price as my hat from Target, but I could be supporting a real person instead of some corporation with questionable sources.

Happy wrist-warmers to get me through the crappy weather.

Lisa, the woman behind PowersOfLove, started her shop with the intention of financing the adoption of children from foster care. The costs of adoption can run high, but she and her husband dream of providing a stable, loving, and (most importantly) permanent home for some lucky children :)
