I adore Raymond Briggs' works and every time I see anything remotely related to the Snowman, I know I must have it - from paper towels to sewing kits. So here are some of the stuff that I've made with the Snowman theme.
This is for a lovely lady in Malaysia who enjoys reading my articles in the paper. I've only met her once and I know she prefers snail mail to cyber connections. The weather may be frosty but our friendship is warm.
This Advent Calendar is hand sewn and quilted. I like it that the numbers are all over the place so the child has to figure out the dates leading up to Christmas.
Then I sewed another advent calendar for my grand niece in Australia.
Hand sewn teddy bear quilt
Blanket stitched every bear
Made some pom pom sheep magnets ( I saw them in a shop in Iceland, and said to myself I must make some)
Made a bay leaf wreath. My friend gave me some fresh bay leaves and I sprayed them with gold paint.
A draft stopper for a beloved aunt
Paint brush santa for my artistic friends
Upcycled a rolling pin (which reminds me of a vintage cartoon)
Salvaged and repainted a tired hen and transformed it to a cool chick
Personalised baubles for the little ones
Lots of cards
And finally a miniature Christmas house for my friend
