Peggy-Sue, Peggy-Sue, Peggy-Sue!!!! You rock, girl!
What a fabulous snowman and list keeper. Your snowman is perfect as is your stitching! And would you look at all that ribbon and details galore. What a wonderful creation!
I haven't even started mine and, phew, was my mind taking me in a different direction. Isn't that the fun of challenges!
You ACED it, sweetie, and you're sure to leave me in the dust yet again! And you've given new meaning to the words Night Owl!!!
Peggy-Sue and I welcome all to play along, just use the keyword PSSM02 in your upload.
Happy day!

What? I cant believe this card! Girl, let me just tell you in sewing terms, you've used what's called a 'felt' stitch. How interesting is that and you've used felt! Oh, the sun was aligned perfectly last night when you crafted this gem.

Yikes, I'm totally impressed here with how you cut out your felt so perfectly. Your snowman is adorable, Peggy Sue! I love those punched edges, too. Once again, you've left me in the dust with your creativity. Yikes, you must wear size 13 shoes!

Girl, I have to tell you you're something else over there. I love what you've done with your ribbon scraps. I cant image taking the time though to punch all the holes and ties all the ribbons. But, here again, when you're an artist ...

Let me stand corrected here: Now that I look at your stitching, i'm not sure it's a felt stitch but rather a blanket stitch. Stick with me girl, I've been sewing for years.

Why yes Miss Anne, I do believe Peggy-Sue has used the blanket stitch here......and what a mighty fine job of it too! Such a super cute felt snowman. I am in awe of your abilities in the early morning hours. Just tying all those knotted ribbons would have done me in! This is over the top adorable. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done! TFS :0)

Oh, listen to Anne trying to show her sewing expertise to you. What is this, Sewing 101????? Although, I do hear she is an awesome seamstress, so I'll let it go this time. Back to YOU Peggy-Sue. This is such an ADORABLE creation that I don't have words for it, but to say it is so ORIGINAL and so well put together. Those darling ribbons on the side too and I still don't know how you made that perfectly CUTE little snowman. On a side note, have you gotten those Depends on yet????? LOL!!! TFS!!!
