Commemorating Our January Snow!

Here it is, here it is, here it is! 

Design - "January Snow"
Designer - Twisted Threads
Fabric - 28 count Cream / Natural Gingham Riviera linen
Fibers - GAST - 2 strands over 2 threads

Colors used: Black Crow, Cidermill Brown, Cornflower, Lavender Potpourri, Morning Glory, Nutmeg, Oatmeal, Old Blue Paint, and Peacock.  I also added a JABC Snowflake button.

Okay, okay, okay look at this!  The perfect frame!
A perfect fit!

Here are my Gratuitous Snow Photos - from January 2004 - 8 years ago now.
This was a heavy, wet snow.  We were without power for almost a week.

It was pretty...

...and destructive.  We lost several large trees.

No snowmen were built during this snowfall.

  5. What an adorable snow guy! And the frame is simply perfect - love its dottiness! I think pictures remembering a big snow may be a lot more enjoyable than the big snow - LOL - winter here has been unusually mild and I am happy about that. Temps tomorrow in the upper 50s! woo-hoo My son will be breaking out his cargo shorts.

  14. Your snowman is adorable, I love the fabric and the frame. I know the photos are from a few years ago but it's not nice to see trees down, they take so long to grow.

  15. Oh, isn't he dear in his little baseball cap! And what a nice find in that frame, Beth--it really is perfect for him.

    How do you like stitching on the gingham linen? I just bought a couple of charts that call for it, but haven't bought any yet.
