People's Choice SAL - Weather

Hello all!

It's the first Saturday of the month (actually the second, but I thought I'd confuse everyone by cheating and back-posting this!) so time for the People's Choice SAL run by Jo from Serendipitous Stitching. Continued thanks to Jo for hosting this unique SAL which has a different theme each month.

This month's theme is Weather.

In real life I'm not a fan of the heat and much prefer wind and rain to hot and dry (although do concede the latter is much better for drying washing!) and that seems to have been reflected in my stitching:

These two cuties are Puddle Duck and Waterlogged. I'm guessing Waterlogged was shaking himself dry after having splashed around in the puddle after the rain: 

Sheltering from a heavy downpour is Lickle Ted in April Shower:

Also sheltering from the rain is the mouse in this little Margaret Sherry design, which I named Daisy Umbrella:

And in keeping with the rain (although more of a drizzle this time) here's A Shower by Soda Stitch:

Luckily, I have stitched other weather-related projects too.

Here is Eeyore's Snowflake:

And this is Snowflake The Cactus by FuzzyFoxDesigns (etsy), keeping warm during the snowfall:

And finally, this is Autumn Twirls by Bent Creek. It is part of a monthly series and is Supposed to say 'November Twirls' to rhyme with the following month's 'December Swirls', but I only wanted to stitch this one so changed the wording. It's clever how just a few swirls of stitching gives a real sense of a windy day.

In the way of stash, I have Sudden Showers by Janlynn, a chart which (like far too many others) has been on my to-do list for well over 15 years! I believe most of the background and reflections are half-stitch to add depth to the design:

See, I told you I like the rain!

Next month's theme is Circles. Maybe I'll actually post that one on time!

Take care,
