Slow stitching this week...

I fully finished little Mr. Frosty into a bowl filler pillow earlier in the week, and he is now hanging out with his other snow friends.


Frosty got his wish and we got some snow this week!  Nothing like other parts of the country got, but enough to make us realize it really is still winter!


Let it snow!

Of course, I figured that meant I could start something new.  This is the very beginning of "Sweetly Sayin" from Primrose Cottage, a Valentine design.  I'm going to enjoy stitching with these pretty colors!



I'm also still stitching on the winter embroidery.  You can probably tell that I've been moving the hoop around.  Just a little bit more to do now.

Mr. Frosty is a cutie! I hope you don't get much snow. That winter embroidery is great and almost a finish!

Very pretty finish on Mr. Frosty residing with his other "bowl friends";))))
I agree--such pretty colors for the Valentine's embroidery...
Stay warm and safe during this snow storm...hugs, Julierose

You are going to need a bigger bowl for all those bowl fillers! So fun to see what goes in the bowl as the seasons change. I love the snowman embroidery. Lots of people have pulled out a valentines project. Gail at the cozy quilter

Sweet projects. We got just a little snow over ice last night, more freezing rain today will make the roads treacherous. So, we are hunkered down for today and likely tomorrow too.

I am glad you got some snow! Those are pretty colours, such a lovely project!

Your snowman turned out really cute. Enjoy your slow stitching today. We ended up with about 5" of snow, which is pretty, the cold is not!

Frosty is a cutie! The snow makes things look like a winter wonderland. I like the new cross stitch.

Mr Frosty is adorable, and I like your start on Sweetly Sayin'. I haven't started mine yet - we'll see if I can make myself pick out some floss! Glad you got some snow! At my house it is 14° with little snowflakes swirling around and the sun is trying to shine. We have over 4 inches of sleet on the ground and it is hard-packed.

So rewarding to finish one and start another!

Mr Frosty is great. I also love the floss colors of your new design. It is snowing like crazy here. We easily have 4+ inches already and it isn't expect to stop until midnight.

I'm glad we didn't get as much snow as was predicted - 3 is so much better than 6-12!! but so cold. Love all your winter pieces

Kim said...

Was there ever any doubt that you would start stitching a new pretty?? =) How lovely your new little snowman and his friends look sitting in the basket, with the background of the snow.

Love your minis in the basket, they are so cute. Pretty snowman stitchery. Those colors in 'Sweetly Sayin' is really beautiful. Enjoy stitching it.

Oh your basket is filled with winter goodness, Diann. I adore your Little Frosty; thank you so much for stitching the little fella. Seeing your finish warms my heart. You will be finished with your beautiful winter embroidery in no time. Cute as a button.

What an adorable little snowman, and so timely to be finishing him up while most of the country was getting pelted with snow and sleet!

The Winter bowl is chock full of adorable finishes, Diann. Sweetly Sayin' Valentine's Day does have some lovely colors in it. Your blue embroidery piece is so pretty.
