We Might Get Snow

Design - Cookie Cutter Charmers - Mitten (kit)

Designer - Charland Designs

Fabric - 30 count Natural linen

Fibers - DMC and Threadgatherer linen overdye

The border color is a Threadgather linen overdye.  It was challenging to use as it was bulky and delicate at the same time. 

 The snowmen remain hopeful.

I've even got mittens and a hat ready to go.

Please send me enough snow to build a snowman this Winter.

Please!

Saturday's Critters - One Year Ago

A post from one year ago.

I wish Barry was still around.

 

Gray Squirrel

Do you recognize this deer?

It's Barry the Buck.

He is now antler-free.

The holes look painful, but I do not think they are.
