I have been very hard at work on The Drawn Thread's design "Snow Days" and am a matter of days from finishing it. I made a comment about how much I love this linen and I have another piece that's the color of indigo that I need to find a pattern for. If you can think of one, let me know. Here's what I have finished....
I only have one last snowman to do in the bottom left corner and it's done. I'm going to mount this on a primitive winterized board that I purchased at Michael's last year.
I love to look at Pinterest and I came across some thimbles I thought I'd share with you. Some of these are just beautiful.
I have my next project lined up. My one sister-in-law loves owls so I thought I would do her the Cross Eyed Cricket mitten design that features an owl and make it into an ornament. Think she'll like it and I also want to do a Little House Needlework design called "Bless Our Home" for the kids for Christmas. Why do I always wait till the end of the year to get these ideas?
I also purchased some wool felt in a ton of primitive colors to do some penny rugs. Anybody else think these are just too cute? I also have a few pincushion designs in mind. I love working with wool felt so it will be a nice relief from cross stitching.
Blessings Upon You,
Barbara

I really love that snow design. I don't have a chart in mind but with blue, I would probably consider a patriotic design. I know just what you mean. I put my Halloween WIP away and dragged out the big Prairie Schooler Winter Village that I have been doing off and on(mostly off) since last January . If I keep at it, I should have it done by mid Nov. time to get it framed.
Love that 1st thimble, so beautiful!
The Snowman are looking great,love that blue fabric.
I do the same, get ideas late in the year, LOL
Can't wait to see the penny rugs.
I made a small one, it was fun, and something different than cross stitch.

My goodness me , you have smoking needles there Barbara, love the fabric you have chosen for the snowmen and aren't they just fabulous. OOH Penny rugs ,they sound interesting. Thimbles are not my thing but they are very pretty. Hope all is well with you and yours. x

Barbara: I love your Snowy days it is such a sweet design, soon we will have snow ish I do not like that word.
Love the thimbles, they are beautiful, I have an addiction to Pinterest.
