Sometimes I laugh at the names designers give their patterns. This one definitely made me laugh, but I thought that little snowman is just too adorable! Until I started stitching him that is. I stopped here last night and thought....eeeek he's a scary looking snowman!!
But then I continued on this morning and with his nose, and the grey color covered with the lighter color he looked less scary in the light of day! I bought this pattern a while ago and couldn't wait to get him started. I did have to substitute some of the colors as I couldn't find all the threads called for. Now to figure out how to finish him off. Oh that sounds bad, I mean fully finish him into something I can display. I'll have to have a nosey at Hobby Lobby and see what I can come up with!
So this has been Frosty's Night Out stitched on 40 count Dapper. I just love how he turned out on this fabric! If you have any ideas about finishing, please comment. I need something that is a little more in my price range...those wooden boxes tend to be a bit pricey!
Well thanks for visiting...and Happy Stitching until we meet again!
Oh yes, so much better with his face filled in!
ReplyDeleteHow about a box intended for decoupage? They are very reasonably priced and can be covered in fabric or papers.
He's lovely ... now he's finished. He did look a bit scary mid way. As for the finish I am hooked on the flat finish I did for the flowers, I love it and have finished a few more items in the same way.
