Good afternoon, friends. I've been busy finishing up some projects.
The other day after spending the evening with the grandkids and having some good old fashioned fun in the snow on the mountain (nope, no snow in the valley), I finished my Let It Snow Sampler. I did make some changes.
I added more snowflakes - willy nilly . I stitched the words and border in DMC 930 and the snowflakes in white.
Click here to visit the post where I shared Let It Snow.
My 2nd project is a mason jar stitch.
I finally finished my Winter Jar.
This mason jar is crammed full with a snowman who has a face that only a mother could love. Lol. Of course, I had to add some cardinals to the mix. I am on a cardinal kick right now too.
If you would like to stitch Winter Jar, please check out the links below.
Now I have to confess , I am not satisfied with the scarf and toboggan color. What do you think? I would love to hear what colors you would choose.
Click here for the Instruction page.
NOTE: I did not write this in the instructions, but I did use 1 strand of 221 to create little stripes in the scarf. You can see that on the chart since it is charted.

NOTE: I enlarged the chart. In printing, you may have to reduce the scale, if it doesn't print out fully.

Well this was just a short ramble. I am so happy that you stopped by for a visit Have a beautiful day, my friends. Love ya! And as always....
Happy stitching, ya'll

DeleteThank you, Melissa. This is a darling snowman, do you think we could put Winter Jar in the freezer for next winter?? Sorry, I didn't know that was a toboggan.....not a great sled enthusiast, I guess. Stay well and happy, sending warm hugs from Arizona.
