Finally got some stitching done on my fat men. I can see progress finally. I have more stitching on the snowman with the pinkish coat, a few things on the bird house like to windows and some snowflakes. I really don't care for stitching them. The Let it Snow is close to being done. I think I only have the scarf and about 3 lines of dark blue in the hat. Oh and the face. Several of these charts have little single cross stitches on them and I am thinking about adding single beads instead of the single cross stitches. Whats everyone else going to do there? Looks like I only have 2 more charts to add and them finish up. At my pace its gonna be another 3 months but it will be worth it when finished. I read on Lizzie Kate's blog that she is now working on 6 snow ladies. That she is using the same floss colors so the 2 will match. I guess I better try and remember where I got the fabric I'm working on so I can stitch the matching girls. I love snowmen. When my Christmas decorations are down the end of Christmas I put out the snowmen. I have a nice size collection of snowmen. Many are Jim Shore which were given to me as gifts. I don't usually buy them for myself. This year I'd like to make a mantel scarf with snowflakes on it for the winter.
Right now I am also working on the Lizzie Kate Summer Mystery. I just got my package in the mail. I wasn't happy with the fabric that came with it but I've decided to go ahead and stitch on it anyway and if I don't like it when I get a little bit done I can always frog it and start over.
Hoping everyone has plenty of time each day to get some stitching in.
Your Fat Men are looking good, Sandy. My mom has a huge snowman collection she puts out each winter. If I remember, I'll take a piccy for you and show it on my blog!! And maybe you could take pics of some of your snowmen too?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a picture of your Mom's snowmen next winter and I will send you a picture of mine(post on my blog). I have that SAD (depression in the winter and winter in Washington State is between 8 and 9 months a year) so a lot of times I don't get much put out on the mantel but they are in a display thingie in my great room. We have a few of those recessed wall spots in that room. Two of the spots we put doors on for storage and the other one shelves for my snowmen. Hope you're having a good day today. My best friend has a really bad time with depression. Her's isn't from the weather/gloom but it doesn't help either. Its amazing how many people take anti depressants now days. I take 2! Oh, thank you for your nice complement on my snowmen!
