Description I finished this back in March but kept on forgetting to photograph it.

It's a Buttons & Beads Winter series Mill Hill kit (MH14-0304 - Frosty Snowman) that was given to me by Mattsma earlier this year.

I made some changes to it:
I was supposed to use 3 threads for all of the white and the very lightest blue, but only did 3 threads for Frosty himself, after that I did 2 because it made stitching easier for me. It also makes Frosty look whiter than the snow around him which I like.
I used Kreinik #4 braid for the letters as I wanted to sparkle a bit more.
I only used 1 thread to thread the needle for beading as I was unable to get 2 threads into the tiny hole of the needle, and as it's not for use and can't be washed I knew it wouldn't matter much.
I only did a full cross stitch through some of the petite beads as it was annoyingly difficult to do and it hurt my wrists., after that I switched to just a half cross stitch.

Size: 5"x 5"
Stitches: 71 stitches square
Fabric: Perforated paper
Threads: 10 colours.
Beads: 6 different colours of Mill Hill beads, of which 2 are petite size.

This is just too adorable!
Look at all them pretty beads, even if they were a bit of a hazard I am sure.
The result is so gorgeous though, my hat off to you.



Β And you can never have enough sparkles so go Frosty! Β
