Let It Snow!!
Paper Snowflakes in the winter are wonderful, especially living somewhere that doesn't get much snow. The only trick to making beautiful paper snowflakes is to fold the paper correctly before cutting. Martha Stewart gives tasteful directions on how to fold the paper into the correct sixths to get those cool flakes. If snowflakes becomes an overwhelming theme, Martha even has directions for making crystal bead and wire snowflakes to sparkle in the windows. The MSH site gives some great picture of the beaded snowflakes, but not such great directions (other than 'buy my kits'). Here's a clear set of directions; you provide the beads and wire.
To keep things fiber related - how about cutting some snowflakes out of white fabric (fleece) and creating a blizzard?
