Snowflakes in April. Not too far off the truth weather-wise here in the UK. We have gone back to winter now that we've had our 4 days of summer in spring. Talk about 4 seasons in 1 day! Anyway back to the stitching. Snowflakes was the theme for this month over at the Christmas Ornaments All Year Round SAL. I can't tell you how much I love this ornament. I was so lucky in that I had enough of the thread left and to find beads that matched in my stash was an absolute bonus. Needless to say I shall be keeping this one for myself.
Fresh Fallen Snow - Little House Needleworks.
Just Cross Stitch Ornament Issue 2011.
32ct Light Mocha Belfast Linen.

ReplyDeleteI like that basket of 'balls' of all textures and sizes - very cool!
The weather here has been cold and spring is very late for us. It's just wacky. Luckily the snow has just been up in the mountains!
Enjoy your weekend!
A gorgeous ornament. I am not surprised you are going to keep it for yourself. Love the beaded edge.
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful, no wonder you are keeping it for yourself.
ReplyDeleteI do like the Little House Needlework designs, not widely available here but I've managed to get a couple and thoroughly enjoyed doing them.
Happy Easter.
