Welcome--Inside cozy...Outside Frozy

It is so cold, and the snow continues to fall today. I am holding to my "liking January" though. I have accomplished quite a few projects indoors--while thinking... and it feels good. I still have a long, long list--but I wouldn't know what to do if there weren't things to do on my list.

Today, I thought I would show some of my January snow stuff.
This is hanging on our front door. BRRRRRR is right!!!

A pillow I made a few years back--my first attempt at blanket stitch(the stitch around the snowmen).

A simple wall-hanging. This is a Meme's pattern.

I made the quilt first, had some fabric left, so used it to border the pillow.
Welcome--wish we could sit down and share a cup of hot cocoa and be cozy. Hope you are staying warm and well. Happy Tuesday.
Be Nice to people,
Julie

Gosh, Julie, I just love all your stitched snowmen! I really do love that pillow too! You are so talented...You are really gifted with creating with needle and thread!

I love the music on your blog, by the way! Very soothing!

And now I'm so excited...I will be anxiously waiting for the mail! Whatever you sent my way...I thank you already for thinking of me! :)

Oh, and I wish I could be there chatting with you over a cup of cocoa!

Hugs,
Tammy

I just love snowman, Julie! All your handmades are so sweet. You know, I just saw a really lovely free BOM with a snowman pattern that you might like. Let me see if I can find it ...

... here it is: http://www.elliesquiltplace.com/EBOMCountryCalender.html I would love to make it but don't know if I have the skills. But I might just give it a try. It would make a cute pillow, too.

So glad that you liked the praire doll. They remind me of simpler days.

Love,
Lea

Hi Julie

All of your gorgeous work makes for such a cozy and inviting home.

Mmm, snow men sound wonderful. At the moment we are having some of our hottest days here in Australia. It's hot and humid, perfect weather for the beach or lazng by the pool.

Hope you are keeping warm.

lots of love
Elise

Mmmm... Love your Snowmen! Think I'm going to have to rummage through my patterns and make a snowman pillow...you've inspired me! That cocoa sounds yummy...are there marshmellows too? Lol!

Leslie said...

I think that's the key...to think of the good parts of January. I prefer the warmer months and being able to go outside, however, the winter months give you more time to focus on inside and completing crafts and such that you might not have time for in the busy summertime :)

Love everything you have made!
