We Can Build A Snowman by Erica Plank

I feel so validated as I share this post.

We are in the midst of a snowstorm.

Therefore, I feel pretty good about sharing that my hand stitchery project is all about the snowman.

No Easter bunnies here.

You know that I can never seem to do anything ‘in season’.

The first block is stitched. I am considering adding beads, but I have time to think about that. I have four more blocks to go.

The pattern is designed by Erica Plank from Unseen Hands.

I have had the pattern for many years, but when I was ready to settle down and make these blocks…well…I couldn’t find my pattern.

I am normally very good at filing my patterns.

While working through Karen Brown’s Declutter Challenge this year, I found the pattern. Right where it should be.

How did that happen?

Does that happen to you, too?

I am not sure that I will make the quilt, yet. I just really wanted to stitch the snowmen.

At my pace, there is all the time in the world to decide that later.

Skeleton Hoop Stitchery

Posted on October 26, 2025 | 14 comments

I took a second stitchery project to work on while traveling to the east coast and back. The idea was to stitch it and leave it with my daughter.

Needless to say, I didn’t work on it much until I got back home.

I purchased the skeleton design some time ago from Patterns and Stitches on Etsy. I don’t see it there now, but I do see lots of fun skeleton stitchery designs on Etsy.

The following is the photo of the skeleton hoop design on the pattern cover.

I have finished my version and it looks like the following:

The Hubster is taking this one to the post office as I write this, so our daughter will have it soon.

I already have a second version in the works. It will also be on a black background. I know you can’t see it, but the eyes and nose are stitched. Black on black. I looked for a very dark grey in my stash, but didn’t have one.

And the floral colors are a little off in the photo, as least by my monitor, but close enough for you to get the idea.

For the curious, I used 12wt. Aurifil for my stitching. Just because I can.

Have fun and carry on!
