Snowman Season

Good morning!
It is snowman season !
The time when all the snowmen get out of the closet to decorate the house for winter! This is With thy needle and Thread Christmas Holiday Hoopla ..and this is a new start for 2020 and my first finish for 2020!

I stitched him on 28 count evenweave that I Rit dyed ..then coffee /tea dyed ..I did not stitch his Santa hat because I wanted him more wintery ..I added a couple rows of stitching to round off his head .. I used Classic Colorworks eggshell..ribbon red ..English Ivy  and Cocoa Bean

I mounted him on this same galvanized /chicken wire container from the clearance aisle at Hobby Lobby that I used for Calvin 
I used magnets to attach the stitching to the container .. I mounted the stitching on sticky board .. added 2 layers of batting under the stitching .. I used Lori Holt vintage trim around the edges ..then a ruffle of black and white buffalo check .. A buffalo check bow.. flocked greenery ..and a little snowball from a pick ..I made his scarf from plaid wired ribbon that I tacked down to the stitching ..

this video shows how to finish round pieces
