New Stitch Monday

I am currently working on the snowman from Labors of Love.  After looking through several of my books I realized that I didn’t want to go to crazy looking for the perfect stitch for the snow and I wanted to keep the stitching simple on this project.  The Hungarian stitch was perfect.  Using Petite Sparkle Rays, I achieved the look I was going for and I didn’t need to worry about the shading along the bottom of each part because the stitch allowed the blue to come through.  I did use a blue Petite Sparkle Rays for snow dots that are on the scattered around.  I also made some changes to the canvas and used heart buttons on the 2 sections.  This way I can leave this cutie out through Valentine’s Day.

We have this canvas, the Christmas tree & Mrs. Claus in stock.  We heard that there will be a Santa coming out some time in the Spring.
