I stitched the collar in Turkey work using Burmilana. I have started trimming the collar but will finish it when I take the canvas off the bars. It is easier to control the shape that way for me.

Starting the Jacket
I have started the jacket. I switched colors as I felt this is a gentleman snowman and pink is more feminine. I am using 4 strands of three shades of Mandarin Floss in a modified Scotch Checker pattern to fill the squares.

A Face and Hat
In between standing by the mailbox waiting for the Splendor I stitched his hat with Trebizond in a closed darning pattern and added those snowflakes. Then I stitched his face in Medeival Mosaic using Neon Rays+. I beaded his eyes and mouth using size 11 beads. I padded and overstitched his nose with Threadworx overdyed Kreinik!

And then....
I got this far and ran out of Splendor! So I did little cross stitches with Silk Lame Braid Petite for the snowflakes.
