Lots of cutting took place to create these intricate snowflakes.

Worldly Wednesday is more like Other Worldly Wednesday this week. While browsing Facebook after work, Wired magazine shared a fun, holiday gem. They are "Game of Thrones" inspired snowflake designs. Last year, I attempted "Star Wars" flakes, but ugh, without a sharper cutting instrument or Jedi skills, I failed. These "Game of Thrones" crafts were much easier.

When I say easy, I mean that with my pair of plain, orange scissors, my hands sill ache a little. Snipping through all eight flakes took me nearly an hour. But, in the hour turned out all right. I ended up with beautiful, professional snowflakes. My own "Game of Thrones" knowledgable husband named seven out of the eight houses right. Arryn proved tricky. Personally, I only knew house Targaryen — dragons, of course.

All eight designs cut out.

If you also are a "Game of Thrones" fan, download the snowflake designs and start cutting. Winter is coming after all.

What a bummer, my favorite one is house Lannister.
