6 Snow Belles Week 2

A little bit of progress!  The fabric is actually a bit more raspberry-ish in person.  It is 30 count linen by Thead Gatherers.  No color name, and it has been discontinued.  I found this while I was traveling in Michigan recently and stopped in at Stitching Bits and Bobs. 

Tune in next week for more progress!

Ouch!

So there I was, early for work, driving along, minding my own business, when out of the corner of my eye, I see a white mini-van heading right for me.  I tried to speed up to get out of the way, but there was traffic and bang!  She hit my car. 

It's not drivable, but it is fixable.  I should get it back in about 3 weeks.  Meanwhile, I have a rental and her insurance company is paying for everything......

I just didn't need this!

6 Snow Belles Week 1


Although I only have the first three charts, I did find some fabric so I decided to make a start on the Snow Belles charts.  Here is how it will look when it is finished, sort of.  Imagine different fabric. 

The same rules will apply that were used when I did the 6 Fat Men.  I will stitch on this piece every Monday and post pictures weekly so that you can see my progress. 

Here you can see the start:

Not too much stitching, but it is a start.  I look forward to spend my Mondays with these lovely ladies. 

I was asked how one can tell if it's a Snow Man or Women.  Well, it's all about the accessories!
