I've spent the weekend catching up on my stitching. I posted about my Chikan Embroidery on the Tuesday Stitchers here, but I also finished TAST for the last 2 weeks. Yep, a little late.
As both stitches were new to me, I just played a bit.
Once I got used to this stitch, it was kind of fun
I enjoyed making the square frame
I liked the half chevron stitch, and plan to use this again.
May CQJP
here's the first element on the CQJP: Mr Snowman
Each year, when the kids were little, we'd go outside after a good snowfall, and make snow people.
I still have to add arms, and a scarf, but I wanted to share.....
I think he's sooo cute
Mr. S. is only 3 3/4" from the top of his hat to his snowy butt.
What a schnozz!
My Mother's Day bouquet was a dozen red roses ( thanks DH! ) and they looked like red velvet. Mmmmm, smelled good, too!
I hope everyone celebrating has had a wonderful Mother's Day.
I spent some time this afternoon with needle in hand and wonderful memories of my Mother. I miss her.
Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz

Suztats,
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's day to you too! Wow, you are doing amazing learning your stitches. It's great to see your work. Love that Mr. Snowman! Will he be lucky to have a wife? Yes, I still see your house full of snow family. (LOL)
Hugs,
I had an idea that you'd ask about Mr. S's wife.......and I sure hope she shows up on a future block so they can go snowdancing together!
ReplyDeleteHope you've had a wonderful weekend, BSOTF!
Hugs
I was happily admiring your stitches and then scrolled down and saw your Mr. Cutie snowman....awww. Happy Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteits great when you catch up isn`t it on tast. Love the snowman, we had very ,little snow this year.Your flowers for your Mum are beautiful, here in England we celebrate Mothers Day during lent.Lost my Mum nearly 6 years ago she would be 98 this year so had her till she was 92, a good age but still miss her.
ReplyDeleteLove Mr Snowman - so sweet.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you! Ours is in March & I spoke to my Mom & spoke to or hugged each boy & decided every day is a mother's day ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting below & I forgot to say if you have a mo look at the beautiful giveaway I won, on my post;)
Chuckle. Thanks Magpie! Even with that big a nose, he is still cute. lol

It is a relief to catch up, Margaret. I lost my Mom 10 years ago. She passed away at age 79, but that seems too early.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like my snowman. We had about 3 1/2 feet of snow this year....about average according to the stats, but still too much for me.
Hugs
Thanks Dian. Now I just have to give him huggable arms, and a scarf to keep him warm.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Emma, that's a beautiful thought, and a lovely way to approach each day........wish my two were close enough to hug.
ReplyDeleteI'll be off to check out your post!
Hugs
a snowman in May, now that was a surprise! I hope you had a lovely Mothers day, we have ours in March.
ReplyDeleteI did, thank you, Karen: Lunch out on Saturday, all my meals and coffees, teas made for me on the Sunday, beautiful roses, and my DH even did the dishes! The only thing that could make it better would have been to have my kids home for the day, but at least I spoke with them by phone.
ReplyDeleteMy CQJP is a Christmas theme, so there may be more snowmen, or Christmas trees, or.......lol
Hope you're having a wonderful stitching day.
Hugs
Cute little snowman!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use to make him?
Your roses look absolutely lovely, your snowman is very cute and I'm glad that you've caught up with the TAST stitches. Hope I know this weeks stitch for a change :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Marjolein. I used a fancy knitting yarn for the body, one that has a plain and a fuzzy fiber. I think it worked well. Have some stitching fun.
ReplyDeleteHugs
It would be nice if it was a stitch I was familiar with.....I'll have to check, it should be posted by now. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Your little snowman is the cutest! How sweet to receive red roses. Great stitches for practice.
ReplyDeleteThank you, my dear. Hope you're having sunny skies, and fun stitching days.
