I absolutely love snow rider idea. An Inuit girl doll with step-by-step instructions each week is a great way to spend the winter. What I love most is the feeling of anticipation and excitement as each part of the project is revealed, it feels like I’m on a creative adventure! Plus, it’s free and easy to make, perfect for beginners. I’ll definitely be showing it off to the group when I’m done!
