Four Seasons Swap

And the Season is Winter!!!.......... it was a bit hard to come up with a Winter theme when its sooooo hot down here, but after seeing Jeanne's gorgeous snowman quilt, i wanted to make a pieced snowman!!!.......except i didnt have a pattern.

So "Roman" the Snowman (his name is significant to where he is heading), just grew as i cut and pieced:

Ok, in my defense, i have never made a snowman, in my life (my one experience with snow wasnt that great!!!!).......his hat does look like it has built in earmuffs lol.... but im assured by Anne Ida that they r needed in the cold weather!!!!

I just hope that my cute and colourful snowman brightens up the day of my swap partner!!!

I also want to share a couple of my favorite Summer photos, so far (photography rapidly becoming my second favorite hobby). Firstly my DH stopped on the side of a busy highway just so i could snap pics of these:

There is just something about haystacks that i am attracted too!!! Look at those colours, greens and golds, my new favorite!!!

And this is a special shot:

How gorgeous is my son??? He was just looking out his sisters bedroom window, to say to me the words that every Mum wants to hear.................."Whats for dinner Mum???"

  2. I think that is a great snowman. You sure did a great job designing him. I imagine it would be hard to get in the Snowy spirit and it so warm there.

  5. Great Snowman for your 4 Seasons quilt - my son asks me that question a hundred times a day - I'm sure it's just his way of opening up a conversation - heaven knows why all he has to do is talk to me and I'll happily chat to him - strange creatures 12 year old boys!

  7. Very cute snowman, and most stylish as well and a very lucky recipient.

    Your photos of the hay rolls made me smile. I love summer, but those rolls have always always made me think of the cereal shredded wheat. Great colors though!

    My sister spent 3 years in Australia and loved it there. At the time our 3 were babies, so a visit was unfortunately out of the question....some day, maybe.

    Enjoy your son....they grow up way too fast!

  8. I love your snowman! I actually thought that looked like a cowboy hat and the red part is his scarf around his neck. =)

    Your son *is* adorable!
