Update on Thomas the Tank and Frosty :)

These past two nights I've taken off to do some much earned stitching.  Yesterday I made a note of what projects I've had on the go these last few months and thought it about time I got a wriggle on with some of them. Tonight I managed to finish turning Frosty the Snowman into a little hanging ornament and have also done more on the border of Thomas the Tank.


Frosty the Snowman is stitched on 18ct Red aida.
Around the 3 sides of the ornament, every other stitch has a seed bead attached.



All I have left to do on Thomas now is the bottom part of the border, he can then be washed, dried, ironed and framed to put on my little boys wall.  I hope to have Thomas finished in my stitching session tomorrow night :)

  1. Your stitching is great... well done.

    Love Thomas - looks like you have put your son's initials on the top train carriages - what a great idea!

  2. Yes I put the initials T S R on the carriages of the little blue train at the top. I did forget to say that it was stitched on 14ct white aida in DMC threads.
