Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

Well, I'm secretly hoping it won't actually snow despite it being forecast for tomorrow afternoon, but we've had a little flurry of snowfall inside over the last couple of days...





Snowflake numbers 2, 14, 29 and 54 from this book...


And a couple of teeny tiny snowflakes from this pattern...


We're out this evening to see the local Christmas light switch on and whilst I'm not hoping for snow, I am hoping for my first mince pie of the season. x

  1. oooh lovely - do you spray/paint them with anything to make them rigid?

  2. Elaine, I block them over tin foil and painted them with watered down PVA glue. Works a treat on thin crochet cotton and quite well on cotton 4-ply.

  3. I have that book too and it's great! The only bad thing I would say about it is the photo quality is a bit iffy but on the whole a fab book! I tried to reply to your comment on my blog yesterday but found I couldn't but I just wanted to say you did make me smile about the checkout thing - it's exactly like me too - I have to pack it "my" way or nothing as I hate my shopping getting squashed!

  7. Hi Victoria,
    you are killing me with these beautiful snowflakes!
    But for me it would be too tiny... I am more the big granny type... I do adore you for your patience.

  13. Hello Victoria, I love your snowflakes! I bought this book but unfortunately have trouble following the instructions, diagram patterns are much easier to follow for me :) Great blog.....
