Let It Snowman and Blog Candy Reminder


Full Snowman
My February celebration continues..
How would you like to win a snowman?  I have one just for you.  Leave me a comment as to the largest snowfall you have ever witnessed in inches.  I would have to say mine was in the 70's.  I think we got around 20 inches.  We couldn't even see out of our window.  So leave me a comment.  
This blog candy ends February 11th 2011.  

With the start of a new year I wanted to breath some life into my old sewing machine.  Now when I say old I mean 20 years old.  It no longer will zigzag but it created this birthday present for a dear friend.  We share a love for snowmen so I wanted to find a pattern that would let release some pent up sewing needs.

I found this pattern online from Country Whims. I LOVE all of her patterns.  This one is called 
Feed The Birds and is available on her website.. HERE.


Heart



I added a felt heart and some little twigs I had in my stash. I love that his arms are tied in the middle to hold the heart.  

Nose


I added a scarf, button eyes, felt hat and this curly nose.  This was a work of heart that I really enjoyed.  I have 10 more cut out to make as Christmas gifts next year.  The Country Whims pattern is a small snowman so I redrew the pattern to make mine bigger. 


Buttons


I painted my fabric with Modge Podge and then sprinkled glass glitter on the fabric to complete my little guy. 
Hopefully you aren't too bored with my post today.. I also wanted to remind you of my blog candy...
