Happy Quilty 2009!
My favourite thing about winter is the rain and the cooler weather so I can wear my snuggly cardigans! I live in Perth Western Australia so it doesn't really get that cold here - no snow.
Watching the snow fall...or being so cold that a cup of cocoa is the best thing ever!!
Happy New Year....

We live in warm Florida so winter is a bit different for us. I love how the weather cools down enough for the kids to go outside and run around and play. On cooler days and nights I love to wear my favorite jeans, a cozy sweater, and cuddling up under alight quilt.
Hi and Happy New Year to ALL! Thanks for the chance to win!! Living in Wyoming all of my life, I have enjoyed the winter weather. It's fun to watch it snow from inside a warm and cozy home! Hugs Kay M. (petking@vcn.com)

I live in Maine and it gets to -40 below sometimes and I don't care for the cold because it bothers my RA so my favorite about winter is trying to avoid it by curling up in a nice warm quilt by the fireplace and reading a good book while icicles form on the window or better yet spend time quilting during a Maine blizzard.Thanks for Sharing and Happy New Year~!
P.S We started the New Year here today with temperatures around 12 degrees not counting the wind chill so I think I will stay inside today blogging and sewing.
My favorite thing is cozying up with the family and the early nights.
I liked snow and then we have gotten so much I am tired of it. It was my favorite that first snowfall. Linda Gerig

Gorgeous scarf! Please enter my name in the giveaway. My favourite thing about winter is roast dinners, my hubby makes the most yummy roast potatoes - he learnt from Jamie Oliver!
You boil the potatoes (the small gormet ones are the best), with their skins on for approx 5 mins, then you drain them and dry them off in the pot over the element. Next you put them into a roasting dish and sprinkle olive oil over them. You get a small handfull of dried rosemary and a few black peppercorns and grind them together with a pestel and motar (or give them a good bash on a chopping board with a wooden rolling pin!) sprinkle over the potatoes then roast for approx an hour, maybe a little longer. Serve and accept compliments from the diners!
