As some of you are still dealing with snow, I thought I'd show off a snowman I stitched clear back in 2009.
Am very,very, very pleased with this EWe & Eye & Friends finish.
The floss color choices, the fabric, the stitch selection.
All first rate!
Above - Rhodes stitch on top of hat
Eyelet in center of snowflake on the left
Above -Smyrna stitches for eyes and mouth
Eyelet stitches for pink cheeks
Above - Satin stitch for scarf
Smyrna stitches for the body of snowman.
Now enough of the snow already - on with spring!
Blurry terrible shot of a Violet-green Swallow. I wonder when they'll begin house hunting.
The male California Quail are strutting their stuff.
They perch atop a clump of blackberry vines and call out "Work-work-woork!"
After a couple of months AWOL, I saw my pair of ravens and thrillingly the second raven had a twig in his/her beak - nest building?
Low quality photo again, but look closely there are three Flickers.
Mourning Doves have reappeared.

Your flashback snowman is a cutie. It looks like Spring is happening in your neck of the woods.
Beth, I love your snowman! Thank you for the close-ups of the specialty stitches. I noticed the cheeks but would have overlooked the other stitches had you not pointed them out. Gorgeous! And the quail... big smiles. They make my heart happy when I see them.
