LK "Let It Snow"
stitched on 28ct khaki evenweave
w/DMC
Well....I made him my own.
I goofed when I started the scarf which
resulted in changing the color scheme.
Too lazy to rip out the wrong color, I carried
on and used a little pink, which I really liked.
I figured I would carry on and change the
hat color to light blue with a little more pink.
I just love him.
I still think he needs a little pompom at
the end of his hat. Hmmm...will need to
do something about that.

I saw this card on Pinterest a few weeks
ago and I just couldn't get it out of my mind.
I just had to try and make one...
I had to do a little figuring on this one to get
the mechanics correct and I'm pretty happy
with my first attempt. I really like the
flowers/leaves layout in the original card
better so I will make it like that next time.
This was my Friday night project.
The idea of weaving a paper basket came to
me Friday night after I had gone to bed.
I was up Saturday by 5:30 am
(thanks to a tornado warning)
and so I decided to give it a try.
Summertime is calling me....
I was amazed how easily these came to together.
So I made some more....
{Love} the yellow flower basket...
I am just pleased at punch with these.
Now that the creative juices were flowing,
I thought I would make a clay pot.
Not to shabby if I say so myself....
I have a tendency to overindulge when I
find something I like so I wouldn't be
surprised if I have a hundred of these
by the end of the month!

I haven't stitched in 4 days.... so I'm off to remedy
that and put a few stitches in something!
As always...thanks for visiting.
