With some very busy work days, I wasn't
capable of focusing too long on
some of these Challenge projects.  
I really needed something a little "easier
and just couldn't resist these cute,
fat snowmen anymore! 

I hope to finish them as little pillows
to display in a basket so I can enjoy
them throughout the winter.
LK "Snowed In"
stitched on 28ct khaki evenweave
w/DMC
 
This roly-poly one is just so cute so I
couldn't wait to start the next one.

LK "Snow House"
stitched on 28ct evenweave
w/DMC

They do stitch up very quickly so 
hopefully I will get them all done to enjoy
at least a day or two this winter!

Well....I have some exchange stitching calling me.
Then it will be the difficult decision of 
what to stitch next???

Thanks for looking...happy stitching.
