Snowmen Feb Finish and Mar WIP

I have finished the February Snowman from Vermillion Stitchery and also have a bit of a start on the March Snowman.
These are so much fun to stitch and thank you for the suggestions I have received about changing colors when I get to the May snowman - pink/yellow/orange would not be a fun stitch for me.
Lucky me!  After a bit of digging in my fabric stash I found the piece of light blue fabric with colorful stars on it.  I haven't figured out if there is enough of it to put borders on all 12 snowmen yet, though.
I hope you can find stitching time with the NFC/AFC playoff football games going on this weekend.

Snowman WIP

I came across a picture of a January Snowman that I stitched a few years ago and it reminded me that I always wanted to finish the other 11 Snowmen. 
This is the February Snowman from Vermillion Stitchery. 
I may skip the May snowman and move on to the others.  May is mostly pink and yellow and there is something about that color combination that almost makes me feel a little nauseous.  I will have to change the color combination which is not a quick decision for me.  I don't want that to slow me down so I think I will save May until the final snowman.  I am thinking of keeping the pink and changing the yellows to blues but I have a few months to decide if that's my final answer.

The website is no longer up so I am not sure where the charts can be obtained.


Here is a picture of the January snowman that I stitched a few years ago.

Happy Stitch Days to all.

2016 1st Finish

Yay!  I have my first finish for 2016.
May I present Flight to Egypt stitched on black 18 count aida.
I stitched the star with dmc white (B5200) instead of the shiny metallic suggested with the chart.
I am getting a little better working with the metallic floss but the white stands out enough for me on the black fabric.
Have a wonderful week of stitching.

Flight to Egypt WIP

I didn't stitch very much in December but there is a little progress on my current Flight to Egypt wip.

Happy New Year to all and may you find many hours of stitching in the new year.
