Quickie Snowman Ornament!

When Dave came home for lunch today he was looking at the junk mail flyers that came in the mail before taking them out to the recycling.  He noticed the Christmas decorations in one of them and said " I should go buy a little snowman ornament for my desk at work."   I said " I didn't know you wanted anything like that on your desk...."  Hmmmmm   I think he's getting into the Holiday spirit this year do ya think?  

Anyway I asked him if he wanted me to make him one and he said I probably wouldn't have time.  Well.... he sort of got that right!  Between working in my studio, household stuff, making arrangements so that I can sit at the hospital tomorrow while my Mom has cataract surgery I probably didn't need another project right at the moment!  

But I thought to myself...... what if it were to be a real quickie little snowman..... something that wouldn't matter if someone decided to snatch it from his desk at the newspaper office!

Grabbed a piece of natural wool..... one of those cheapie plastic star ornaments for the base..... hand stitched a snowman shape..... stuffed with batting and let some peak out the bottom to look like snow... sewed by hand onto the star base.... tied a wool worm ( strip of wool) around for scarf...stuck straight pins in for buttons..... used an orange marker to color the end of a toothpick and broke it off and stuck it through wool for the nose...... black marker for eyes.... DONE! 

A real quickie for a real sweetie!  

Now.... onto more important matters!!  LOL!

  

I still have some Red House Feather Tree patterns on linen available for $25.00 which includes the postage to USA and Canada.  You can email me at antcathy@charter.net if you would like one to hook up real quick like for Christmas!  Hmmmm think I'm noticing a theme here..... quick is good though when it turns out better than expected!!
