soo cute! if i weren't already in a SAL i would've done these with you..lol

They look great, i love Febs one. Well done

T-bear the patterns are the freebies from the Vermillion Stitchery Site. I have been collecting them since January they are really cute and I want to do them but have to clear off these other two projects first. I think there is a link in the Internet Sites Thread and also one in the general section when we first discovered What the freebies for this year was going to be.

Thank you Rose! I've found them now.

They are such cute snowmen

Well somebodies certainly been busy since the last time I saw this post!

Great work Kimkat - the snowmen are sooooo cute!

Took at look at that site (thanks for info) and OMG they have some gorgeous designs! Have popped it in as a 'favourite' to look at when I have some dosh! I'm blaming you if I purchase anything

Well I decided to have a stitching day on Saturday - 4hrs stitching during the day. I was sitting out on my balcony in the warm sun working on the March snowman:

Oh, nice! March snowman is coming out!

He looks great already! Is he a St Patrick's Day snowman?

He's looking great, u have made great progress. Well done

He is looking really great, you are getting on very well with him. I love doing snowmen makes you smile as you stitch for some reason.

He's a Leprechaun Snowman, which are usually associated with St Paddies Day.


Happy dance time Today I scored 50 skeins of DMC on ebay for $32.50 (including postage) That works out to 65c per skein which is really good cause in the craft shops around me it is 95c/99c each skein. That means that when I finish this I will now have the thread to go on with May-July (I needed 31 colours) and with the other 19 I got some of the colours I will need for my HAED.

I like the greens. They are so pretty.

Great Snowman!

Your snowman likes dashing.

Congrats on the great stash haul.

Green is my favorite color! My grampa used to say it's because we're Irish. (We need an Irish smilie). Congrats on the stash bash.

Congrats, too on new great stash!

....how's the green snowman going? (((eagerly waits for updates))))

He's coming along slowly cause I had thought that I had all the colours for him but discovered that I had missed one when listing them all out - but lucky for me it is one of the 50 I have coming (hopefully that parcel will arrive in the post today or tomorrow... )

The plan is to have him finished by the time I finish work on Tuesday (I try only to do them during my lunchtime at work however sometimes they sneak into my stitching at home if I find some time during the day ) because I am taking a week off work so I can finish the year long project of painting my unit and I don't want him sitting there tempting me to finish him.

Yipee! the postman brought me a nice parcel yesterday - my floss arrived!

See all the nice pretty colours

Oooooooohhh pretty!
