Finished

Well, the snowman is done, and it didn't turn out perfect. I must admit it is adorable, however, I learned a lot during this process. I think I used the wrong thread to add the beads. I will work on that. And, ironing it after the beads were attached was a challenge.

I know what not to do next time.... just remains to be seen if I know what to do.

Thanks for going on this trip with me.

Actual Lunch Time Doodles

Here is a "doodle" I did while sitting with nothing else to do with my hands. It started out as a light pencil scratch then I got down to business, and actually did the design. Thank goodness for erasures, because I used it quite often....over and over.

Then, I finally got what I had in my head. I went over it again with the pencil, then used transfer paper to get the design onto some material.

Now I am embroidering the design on the small piece of material. I will be using small white beads for the little drops of snow.

Then, the final process - I will glue it onto a blank card. And, there it is.. a Christmas Card.... A really pretty one.

I have an idea to do one with a Christmas tree..... That will be in the works when this is done.
