We all know that every snowflake is unique, no two alike. I have tried, on a much less grand scale than mother nature, to do that on my Christmas tablerunner too. Only the light is so pathetic right now that you would be hard pressed to tell.
I have to say, looking at these photos - I give up. I am not showing you another photo of this runner until the sun is shining and I can actually take a photo that doesn't make it look like the dogs dinner.
On a brighter note - I got a wee package from Fluffy Sheep today. Cindy has new things in stock. Namely some DMC Perle Cotton. I love me some perle, just in case you didn't realise that. Good thing she has it in too, as I almost used up my red perle on the runner but now I have a back up.
I originally went shopping to stock up on my Aurifil because Cindy does have the best prices for that. (And just about every colour under the rainbow too.) The perle cotton jumped into my basket when I wasn't looking. And that end of bolt cut of DS looked lonely so I thought it best that it come live with me. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I am sure the snowflakes look very nice! I hear what you're saying about the weather...

That's so funny as things jump into my shopping basket all the time too! As for snow flakes, living in Australia although we do have snow it is restricted and not like other places so I am no expert, but one day I will have a white Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYour snowflakes are lovely even if the daylight isn't cooperating! Wish I could send you some Australian summer sunshine!!!
ReplyDeletelooks good to me
ReplyDeleteI wish I could send you you some Australian sunshine too. Love the snowflakes.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look like a dog's dinner - now I can show you what a dog's dinner looks like. I don't believe you about the perle and fabric (quelle surprise) but I do love your snowflakes.

ReplyDeleteI love the snowflakes! I wish you some sun. And I might have to do some shopping too, I need some colourful perle cottons.
ReplyDeleteyour snowflakes are wonderful. can't wait to see them in better light.
ReplyDeleteSnowflakes look lovely to me. I was going to suggest some people bought me aurifil for Christmas so maybe I need to go shopping at Cindy's for the fun colours.
ReplyDeleteyou are so kind to take in that old fabric lol! the light lately has been horrific for taking photos I am sick of it !! x
ReplyDeleteYour snowflakes are so beautiful. Will you take photos again so we can see them in the sun? I want a good peek.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your parcel arrived and you're happy with it :)
If it makes you feel any better - the weather has been crap here too.
ReplyDeleteI think you finally convinced me to buy some perle thread and if that turns into my next obsession Im squarely blaming you!
