Today started off crisp and clear with a beautiful sunrise. I took this picture from the wall at the bottom of our garden this morning. I braved the heavy frost in my nightgown, a huge cardigan, thick hiking socks and a pair of cowboy boots. I must have been quite a sight for any neighbours who may have happened to be looking out of their windows!
One thing our day lacked was snow. DS Cameron is desperate for snow. He is beside himself with nervous energy and has developed the habit of looking up the weather forecast at regular intervals during the day in the hopes that they will tell of coming bounties of snow. I hope we do get some soon, he's not the only one who enjoys sledging!We did have some cross stitched snow though.
Kipper is finished :-)
The backstitching really brings him to life I think. He's now all safely packaged up ready to be posted off to LoveQuiltsUK on monday morning to be made into a quilt for a lovely wee boy called Jack. I hope Jack will love Kipper just as much as I have loved stitching him.

It's a small design from an old issue of The World of Cross Stitching. The design is inspired by the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and will most likely be a pin cushion.

My girls take it as a sign of their Canadian blood that they crave snow.
What a gorgeous picture for the morning- the colors are wonderful! Gotta have snow in the winter time!!! Love the colors for your next project- your snowman Cross stitch is beautiful!
Your stitching is great. My sons love Kipper. :) And how sweet of you to stitch for such a good cause! ♥
Gorgeous sunshine. Kipper is a real cutie and will make a wonderful addition to a love quilt.
oooo well done for braving the cold for that view .... Kipper is fab and I am sure greatly loved in the quilt ... can't wait to see the new start :) love mouse xxxx
Gorgeous sunrise! And Kipper is wonderful! I'd also like some snow but if not then some decent really cold weather would do!
Beautiful sunrise picture. How cute is Kipper! Beautiful colors for your new start. Can't wait to see it!
Kipper looks wonderful, you're right, the backstitching really does finish him nicely.
I'm not sure if I want snow or not. It's so pretty, but makes getting into Uni a nightmare! It would be a good excuse to stay home and stitch though :)
Best wishes.
Kipper is so cute! Adorable finish, congrats :)
cute stitching.
