I went on strike today! I have not stitched in nearly 2 weeks due to taxes and the repair service. Infact we had 3 hours sleep in 40 hours between tuesday and wednesday. Never did get caught up from that. But, work is work! So sunday I decided I was not working in the yard and did 5 loads of laundry, cooked and washed dishes. Have to wash them the old fashioned way, as we don't have a dishwasher.... Okay, so I was on a partial strike... But I did get to finish outlining and attaching beads on my snowman. Used Mill Hill 40161 petite beads in place of the white french knots. I am not good at the knots and decided the beads would add more sparkle. The picture size is about 6.75 inches x 7 inches. A little larger than the kit, due to changing the aida fabric to a different count linen. The 8"x8" frame is a Larson, that I bought on ebay for 10.95 plus shipping cost. Not a bad deal, as the frame is wood with good supports installed in each corner.
