A very quick stitch! I started this one at 9pm in a panic to try to meet a deadline, and including a minor nanna-nap, put the last stitch in at midnight... I am missing the snowflake buttons, but can always add them when I find them.
The design is "Let it Snow" by Casey Buonaugurio Cross Stitch Designs and found in the 2008 JCS Ornament issue and I'm involved in a couple of monthly challenges on two separate communities this year. This is the first ornament I've stitched this year. I've seen a few snowmen on other blogs and am wondering if I might dedicate 2010 to stitching snowmen. There are worse themes out there...
As for the hasty finish - I was looking for any snowflake buttons and found the bright red plasticy ornament ring - just the right size.

He's a cutie. Snowman are very appealing as a theme. I can't get enough of them either!
Cute snowman finish! I love snowmen too!
Cute finish!
lol, was the dealine midnight?? Looks great though!!! It's amazing how often I look at them in the mag and think they don't appeal, but once they are stitched they look so different!
Cute snowman and a nice little quicky finish.
Marie, actually the deadline was a further 24 hours, and I had thought I would have been able to finish it properly....whoops!
The ring suits him perfectly though.
Your snowman is SO cute!!
Hi there!! Just in response to your quesion about my snowman--sorry I neglected to add that info! I have added it to my post now. It is Shepherd's Bush on Cranberry Bog fabric which came with the kit. Yes, Snowman are fun to stitch--that would be a good year long theme!
