Miss Marcy at http://stitchingplus.blogspot.com/! I was kvetching over Frank's moutachio, and she suggested that I fill it in with french knots in a lovely comment she left a few days ago. Thank you, Marcy, from the bottom of my silly little heart. I think the french knots are exactly what the doctor ordered, don't you?Only the hat brim and coat skirt to go....
Oh, and going to the Michael's or the Hobby Lobby to find itty bitty little red flat crystals for that tree he's holding in his hand!
Off like a herd of turtles...woo hoo!
Ooo la la! The french knots are parfait!!! Great suggestion, Marcy, and your stitching is perfection, Coni! I see a Happy Dance happening in Hoosierville any time now! Good luck with those itty bitty crystals!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of french knots. But it looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCute idea! Looks great! (Although you are stuck making all those french knots. I personally can't stand making french knots, and mine usually show it, but yours look wonderful.)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you should definitely do a jingle bell for Frank's hat. :)
The french knots are perfect!! Some people just have a good eye for this stuff. Personally, I would still be fretting about what to do.
ReplyDeleteLove the french knots Coni!! He looks great.
ReplyDeleteKisses to Stewey...
the french knots really do the trick!
ReplyDeleteOMG! That is perfect!! It gives his beard a great curly look. So cute. You do make nice french knots.
ReplyDeleteOMG You are brave! That is a freakin' lot of french knots to attempt! They look great though! I have no luck with french knots...they always pull back through....
ReplyDeletePerfection el mundo!
ReplyDeleteNice! Makes my fingers hurt just looking at it but hey with my stupid carpal tunnel everything hurts! LOL!! LAME I tell you! But oh well I think the pain is worth it.
ReplyDeletePerfect! What a great idea, Miss Marcy!
ReplyDeleteStewy.... don't you dare try to take the credit.... Here, have an ear scratch and an atta' Boy, instead!

Love the French knots, adds great texture!
ReplyDeleteThe French Knots are perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it, love it, love it!
ReplyDeletewow the french knots are perfect, no way I want to do that though.
ReplyDeleteBoy he's really coming along! Love the stash - mou-stash that is! Lots of knots though.
ReplyDeleteI am really interested in the ooey-gooey rice krispie treats that sounds like they are on steroids - is it a recipe you (or perhaps Stewey) will share?
Can't wait to see the finished project, crystals and all!
Keep warm - we got nailed yesterday with lots of blowing snow, over the ice...
Love the french knots! Just a small suggestion - one time when I used a wonderful bargello stitch, I used several different whites and was able to 'see' the bargello pattern that I had painstakingly stitched :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. The French knots work wonderfully well. :) Cathryn
ReplyDeletePerfect French knots Coni! I think I'd go for a real jingle bell.
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic!!!!!
