Since I did two days of felt ornaments, I decided to keep going with it and make one more. This time I raided the button tin for a pair of snowmen (snow people?) on an ornament.
When I was going through my buttons for the wildflower bag, I tried to put most of the white buttons into one tin. They are usually small shirt buttons and there are always so many of them in old collections. I realized today that while they might all technically have once been white, they have aged over the years to various shades of cream, tan, and ivory. It was a challenge to find a large 4-hole button and a small 2-hole button that were similar shades of not-quite-white and even more of a challenge to find 2 of each.
Also, do you see the snowflakes? FRENCH KNOTS. In the past I would have stitched little asterisks in place of the french knots, but this time, I charged ahead with confidence. I’m allowing myself to be mighty pleased with this turn of events.
The pattern and instructions are from Cutesy Crafts blog.

Wonderful French knots. The colors are perfect for this snow scene 🙂
It’s nice having a change from all red and green ornaments.
Awww. I think this one is my favorite that you’ve done so far.
Little snowmen are always winners in my book.
Love it! 🙂
It’s been nice not having to make things in production mode. I’ve gotten to play this week.
This puts a smile on my face. Love the colors and the happy scene.
Glad it did after the week you had. I hope things get better this weekend.
Thank you. And you have a good weekend, as well!
This is a very clever way to use up those small white button! And YAY on the French knots!
I think those white buttons multiply in the tin.
That is really cute!!!
It’s a happy little winter scene. It makes me smile.
It’s really cute. 🙂
You can’t go wrong with snowmen.
