I surrender to the 6 fat men!!!

It finally happened.  I have been looking at the Lizzie*Kate 6 fat men series for a while, but thought, "No, I have so many other things I need and want to finish."

So I soldiered on... for a while...  But then I thought, "I don't have to do the entire series, maybe just 'Snow Day'".  $$$

Tried not to think about it any more, but then my sister came for Thanksgiving and we went stashing, and 'Snow Friends' fell into my basket. $$$

But, "I'm not doing the whole thing, just those two", I said to myself.  Until last night, when I realized if I stitched it over one on 28 ct, I have juuuuuust enough Night Magic by Sassy's Fabbys to accomodate the design.

Phooey.

So, I printed out the free border, and started it:


I still only have the 2 charts, but the rest are on my wish list.  I'm committed now!

(Those little white tootsies belong to Mayhem, who was trying to get to the penny.)

Oooh, I am fighting that battle with myself too, LOL!! My partner loves snowmen and this one is consistently calling out to be stitched.
