Love the pouch but sad it won't work this time round. Those silks are gorgeous and the sunflower is going to be spectacular - of course.

Silks look interesting, Hope you soon find alternative pouch.

No no, the pouch is fine! And it will get stitched

- it was just too big to take as a travel project this time, so I settled for a small sunflower.

Oh, Mabel, I have so missed seeing your work! I am making up for lost time now

And I love your daffodil and expect Favourite Aunt did too!

The daffodil card is absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to see what is next!

Last week I submitted some designs to a magazine, and they said they liked them but these particular designs didn't fit in with their planned themes for the next few mags, and did I have something wintry in goldwork?

I didn't. But I do now...

They may not like it, or it may not fit in with what they've already got for that issue, in which case I'll still stitch it but not immediately; but here's a tiny preview of the design coloured in to represent gold, silver and copper.

A very happy and smart Snowman!

Oh what an awesome snowman!!! Wow!!

What an awesome Gentleman Snowman is. It is amazing Mabel.

Mabel Figworthy · Post by **Mabel Figworthy** » Sun Apr 01, 2018 9:16 am

I'm looking for a name for him - I'd like the design name to show that he won't melt, he's a permanent snowman friend

.

On a different tack I considered "I will melt your heart" or something like that.

" Dry-Ice-man" ?? or....
Mr Perma Frost were the only things I could come up with!

I love him to bits!! Especially his Top Hat.

I'm not good with coming up with clever names, but I am pretty good when declaring a design is unique, cheerful and looks like fun to stitch and I declare this design is unique, cheerful and looks like it would be fun to stitch!

Lovely this design Mabel. I'm not good at names but like Poppy's. Or maybe Permanent Frostie or Dazzling Snowman, or even Dazzling Snow Friend. Maybe he could have a lady friend (snow lady) with the same glitter too

then they could be called The Dazzling Duo or not as you prefer.

( I'll go so as not to show myself up any more

) Anyway,

the design.

Lovely design Mabel.

I haven't been able to come up with a name either, but I love him, he looks so "Gentleman-ly" somehow and I don't think that's got anything to do with his top hat. A lady friend would be good too, maybe with a wrapround skirt?

Mabel Figworthy · Post by **Mabel Figworthy** » Mon Apr 02, 2018 9:26 am

First I have no wintry goldwork design at all, now several of you are suggesting additional snowladies

! What an encouraging and inspiring place this is.

Last night I did come up with Permafrost, a bit like Kingfisher's idea, but it doesn't really quite have the sound I want yet. He may end up simply being called Goldwork Snowman

Ordering supplies for him today - I don't care whether the magazine wants him, I've fallen in love with him

kingfisher2 · Post by **kingfisher2** » Mon Apr 02, 2018 11:48 am

We've fallen in love with him too Mabel. No matter what he is to be called he is just GORGEOUS, so cute & appealing as well as pretty & sparkling. So, a Sparkly Snowman as well as a Sparkly Snowlady add up to a very pretty Sparkly Snow Pair & who would not want them in their home at Christmas?

I love all your designs but especially love snowmen/snowladies & penguins at Christmas as they always look very appealing. Anything along those lines appeals to me & no doubt to lots of other people too. I shall be watching this space with interest

Right, I've decided - he will be known as Forever Frosty.
I've also added a free-standing fringe to his scarf; this will be attached at the scarf end only, so the ends will be able to move about and look 3D
