Let It Snow

    Finally the first snowfall of the year.........

                                                                  It was very pretty.......

                 .......and made me think of one of my favorite winter decorations.....the snowman.

                                   Gourds make great snowman decorations.  I like to make them into          

                                     wreaths,  ornaments, with lighted insides or just to stand alone. 

                                                   They also make a great crochet design.

This was my very first published crochet design, Let It Snow Table Runner.  It was in the February 2006 issue of Crochet World magazine as the Pattern of the Month

This is also an original design that was worked in size 30 thread with a size 10 hook and measures 20" square. 

Another pretty snowman doily.  This pattern came from Hass Designs at hassdesign.com.  It measured 22" square and was very easy to make. 

Another very beautiful time of the year !!
