It doesn’t get cold very often down here in Arkansas (southern U.S.), but when it does I like to be prepared. Amy from The Idea Room shows how to make this hand mitt that fits around an ice scraper to keep the cold off of your hands while scraping the frost off of a window. Love it!! Go to the tutorial.

Arkansas is freezing cold! I’m in Fayetteville (while hubby is working a project here) and it’s downright arctic…
What a perfect tutorial for the weather…. Hang on it’s fixing to rain and snow the next few days… and get REAL COLD!
BRRRRRRR
I’m bracing myself! I don’t plan on leaving the house for the next few days.
we live in NE Arkansas and it is freezing here. May have to make one for my husband who has to get up each morning and go to work.
NE Arkansas is so pretty!! It’s definitely been cold here a few hours south during the last week or so, but not as bad as what you’ve been getting.
