Ya'll won't believe this!

Well, I finally had some success! I didn't want to take the time to stitch the little snowman again, but I will later on. And I thought to myself that if mess up another uber-cute design, I would surely see an early grave, so I found a tiny little biscornu pattern from The Floss Box (they have snowflakes too!) and went to work. It was a super quick stitch and then I finished it last night.

Here is what it looked like prior to stitching:

Then I carefully followed instructions from all you great ladies who tried to help me avoid a nervous breakdown and it turned into THIS before my very eyes!!!!

Freebie found HERE
I can't hardly believe it! I'm going to go so far as to say I'm very pleased with myself, lol! Now I have to get back to my poor neglected Sheepies!

Thank you again, everyone, who left me comments and talked me down from the ornament finishing ledge. You'll never know how much it meant to me!!

    Oh, but we do know what it meant to you, because at some point in the past somebody did it for us!

    This is stunning. You did an absolute super job. Congratulations on a very nice finish.

    Great job! I knew you could do it!
    Some of those finishes are tricky. I've yet to make a flat fold.
    Hugs,

    Yay, you! It's absolutely perfect!

    Answering your question: pink fabric on the first garden project, but tan-ish (probably Examplar) on the second--shot in the lamplight, so it looks pinkish.
