After using two strands of white to finish the tassels, it was time to finish up the house scene in the lower-right corner.
I used two strands of DMC 3024 to make a sidewalk leading away from the house. Next, I combined one strand each of DMC 640 and 642 to make the tree. The trunk was made with small chain stitches. Straight stitches were used for the bare branches. The last step was adding Mill Hill Petite Glass Beads (#42010) with a single strand of DMC 762. The tiny, clear beads made delicate, shimmering snowflakes.
The final touch was the addition of snowflake buttons (Favorite Findings Snow Reflections) to cover the corners of the rick rack border in the center.
Now, I just need to decide which block to work on next. Oh... and I need to piece blocks for a couple more birthday gifts. Should be fun!
Have a wonderful week!
