A Nose By Any Other Name...

I'm working on two projects at one time, so I don't have tons of progress. BUT, the snowman has taken shape! If anyone else has done this one, did you find the fabric a bit "loose"? It seems to pull more than the red fabric did, so there are little "holes" in between all the stitches. I don't like that! Maybe when it's all done, it'll be OK? I'm IN LOVE with his nose however.

Someone asked about the button switch-a-roonie I wanted to do on this. I think I will replace the original buttons with some tiny rose buttons. At least that's the plan right now. And hopefully I'll have a new design ready to go in another week or so. Stay tuned!

I hope everyone is having a great stitchy week! We are slowly getting the house back in order after the holidays and I hate doing it. You'd think with a small house it'd take no time whatsoever. WRONG!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

  4. Yes. He has a GREAT nose.

    I'm thinking your holes will shrink back to normal when you wash the project at the end.

    I love the Smyrna crosses in his body too. Oh, and the tassle on his hat. Precious!

  5. Don't remember my fabric being that loose when I did it. The 30ct Baby's Breath fabric I'm working on Summer Iris at the moment is a little similar. I've noticed larger holes in between the stitches. It's not too noticeable though and I'm sure your's will be the same. Keep at it, it's looking so neat and very cute!. (I found the nose hard to do with the thicker thread. Pulled it a couple of times before I was happy with it. You've done a great job of yours.)

  7. Tammy, he is beautiful! Your stitching is lovely. Back stitching will fill in the little holes if they bug you. I love the colours of his hat.

  11. This is coming along really well. We have a somewhat smaller house too and I totally understand that it takes longer than one might think to put all the Christmas away. We didn't put as much out this year so it only took parts of a couple of days to put it away. It has been so cold to work outside here that the lights are still on the house though. LOL!

  16. He is very cute. I know what you mean about that type of fabric, I've worked on some of that too and don't like the effect as much.

  17. He is adorable, Tammy!

    I am not a fan of loose weaved linen. Give me a firmer fabric any day.
