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???"
What a cute snowman. You are very clever to make him without a pattern.
ReplyDeleteI 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.

What an adorable snowman, I love him. You son is the cutest thing, I never had a son, but I have a grandson and he is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNow he's adorable Rose, whoever the lucky lady is I'm sure she'll be thrilled with it, and what a gorgeous photo of your boy....
ReplyDeleteGreat 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!
ReplyDeleteHeehee! You finishied him :o) And he is so cute! Well done! And the earwarmers will come in nicely *lol*
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous pic of Cohen!
Very cute snowman, and most stylish as well and a very lucky recipient.
ReplyDeleteYour 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!
I love your snowman! I actually thought that looked like a cowboy hat and the red part is his scarf around his neck. =)
ReplyDeleteYour son *is* adorable!
Hi, sweetie! I've given you a "You make my day" award :o) Have a look at my blog.
ReplyDeleteYour snowman is cute! Wow, you did good without a pattern.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic of the hay; makes me think of our pasture.
Your little boy is precious.
Thanks for sharing.
And yet another quilt I would be very happy to receive! Although I have no clue about "roman"!
ReplyDeleteYour DS´s photo is very nice.
Take care.
How cute is your snowman, I think for your first he looks exceptionally good looking, love his smile.
