Last Start of 08

Snowman Wisdom, Progress as of 29.12.08 - Click for a larger image! I had planned on carrying on with “Fairy Flora” today, but I was in the process of sorting through some stash this afternoon and well, you know how it goes… I ended up starting something new! :)

Behold, the beginnings of “Snowman Wisdom” from the August 2008 issue of the Stoney Creek magazine. These little guys caught my eye because they are in the same style as the snowmen from Dawn’s latest round robin. I doubt I will finish “Snowman Wisdom” before the end of the year, but I don’t think it should take too long… perhaps it will be my first 2009 finish.

I am stitching “Snowman Wisdom” on a piece of 28 count Cashel linen from Silkweaver called “Boo.” I have belonged to Silkweaver’s FOTM club for a year now and this is the first piece that I have actually stitched something on! It’s funny, even though I have all these lovely pieces of hand-dyed fabric, I always seem to end up using something neutral and non-dyed instead. However, at the moment I actually have more Silkweaver pieces than neutral stuff, so I guess it is time to start using it!
