I'm doing a Christmas ornament SAL with a few friends on Facebook this year, the first suggested theme was 'snowman'. I sorted my chart, threads and fabric out over Christmas and started stitching on January 1st and finished it quite quickly but put off making it up until last week.
I don't really enjoy the process of making up and since I don't think I made any ornaments up last year i'm out of practice, but he came out ok in the end.

When I went to the Needlecraft Haven meet up back in November this chart was amongst some that the ladies had bought along to either swap or give away. I think this one belonged to either Justine or Julie? not sure, but as it was gifted to me I would like to pass it on.
If you are interested then please say so in the comments and I will do a draw next Monday.
I don't mind where in the world you live but please don't enter if you don't really want it.
When I offered the Mollie Makes issue up for free on my blog a while ago the person who wanted it never answered my email,
(that MM issue has now gone to someone in my book club, I think I waited a reasonable time for her to respond).
My Amaryllis is growing, Yayyyy.
Last year I had a dud bulb. No stem, nothing, so I threw it away.
But this year I have 2 stems :-)
I love marking the progress of these plants, they grow so quickly once they start.
I went for a white one this time, this is how it should look.
That's it for now I think, Oh, I did finish stitching Elizabeth (Carriage House Samplings), but I haven't taken any photos of her yet, I only finished on Friday, so that's something for next time.
Until then

The Snowmen Ornament is beautifully stitched and finished..I love Amaryllis and the white color is my favorite !
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous little ornament, so cute. Your Amaryllis is going to be spectacular, beautiful pure white xx
ReplyDeleteThe snowman finish is lovely! I won't enter your draw, thank you, as I already have the chart in my stash! We used to have an amarylis - some years it bloomed 2 or 3 times!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie!
ReplyDeleteThe snowman is so cute, I would love to make him. I don't think I've ever grown a white Amaryllis, mine are always red.
ReplyDeleteThat's so lovely. My sewing skills are next to useless so I wouldn't even know how to go about making it up in to an ornament, you've done a great job. I haven't grown any bulbs at all this year, I'm regretting it as I'm seeing other people's on their blogs. Your amaryllis will be very pretty, I've never grown a white one before.
ReplyDeleteYour ornament is gorgeous! What a lovely finish. Please don't enter my name in your giveaway as I have so many things on my to-stitch list and I know I wouldn't be able to get round to stitching this for a while.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute finish! Please don't put my name in the giveaway I am not able to stitch right now.
ReplyDeleteI love how you've finished this! Yes the chart was mine, I stitched all the design but sadly haven't finished it into an ornament. What a sweet idea to pass it on!
ReplyDeleteYour finished ornament is beautiful, you can't beat a snowman ornament. Your amaryllis is looking good and what a bonus to have two stems coming up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute snowman and I love the way you finished your ornament! Your amaryllis is going to be beautiful when they bloom. I gave my sister some bulbs for Christmas, and I'm kind of sad I didn't get any for myself. So I hope you will share pictures of yours in bloom. : )
ReplyDeleteThat is one cute ornament. But I am deep into the LHN's abc houses so I will not put my name in the ring. Love that flower, Can't wait to see it's blooms. I love white flowers.
ReplyDeleteNice design for your first ornament of the year and great finishing.
ReplyDeleteOhhh...what a pity! I didn' t read that post! Surely I couldn't understand the symbols to crochet, as I am Italian, but I like to read English magazines..
ReplyDeleteCiao,
Miriam
What a cutie your little snowman ornament is, Maggie :) I look forward to seeing the rest of your ornament finishes this year!
ReplyDeleteI love how you've finished your snowman Maggie. It is so sweet.
ReplyDeletePlease don't enter me into your drawing as I already the chart :)
That is a wonderful ornament to start the year with -- and a beautiful finish!!
ReplyDeleteThat's one Christmas ornament more than me, Maggie. A lovely finish. A white amaryllis will be lovely in bloom.
