"Keep Calm and Carry On" seems to have been adapted all over the shop with craft variations on the theme everywhere. Not to be left out New Year has decided to get in on the act too and there's a free printable to prove it.
Jessica of Craftily Ever After is offering her 8 x 10cm 'Auld Lang Syne' printable for free in the run up to the New Year over on her blog.
After that it's over to her Etsy shop for the paid version. It's worth a wander over to Etsy anyway to see her range of fabulous font and photographs.

Some of us love snow so much we long to have it indoors as well as out. That kind of snow coverage makes for soggy floors and angry families though so indoor snow is a no no. Unless, of course, you get a little crafty.
These splendiferous Snowflake Ornament Kits from Etsy seller RussetTresses can offer you snow in the home without puddles on the carpet.
The kits come with 100% cotton sateen fabric by Spoonflower, white embroidery floss, a needle, six ribbon hangers and finishing instructions.
You might not be able to make snowballs with them but they sure are all kinds of purty.
