Winter at Craft Rocket

Hello again everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Craft Rocket.  Our theme this month is Winter.


I've made this cute little snowman with dangly legs.  He's stitched on to plastic canvas and backed with felt.  I cut a hole in the card, glued a peg to his back and clipped him in the hole.  He can now be used as an ornament!  The chart is from Ultimate Cross Stitch Cards magazine.


He's stitched 2 over 1 using the recommended DMC threads. The wintery paper is from my stash.

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Things with Wings at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, Happy New Year to you all!  It's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Things with Wings.


I have made a card for my Dad's birthday.  He is a keen fisherman so a Kingfisher seemed appropriate.  The chart is from Ultimate Cross Stitch Wildlife magazine and is stitched 2 over 2 with the recommended DMC threads.


The chart said this was aimed at the experienced stitcher, which I consider myself to be, but boy, did I have to keep unpicking bits where I went wrong!  Very fiddly indeed with lots of fractionals.  Worth it in the end though as I think it looks great.

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:
