All Kinds of Flakes


I'm always looking for inspiration for snowflakes, and my readers and I have found a treasure trove. The snowflake above was inspired by this.

Geeky snowflakes galore!

  5. These are such great snowflake resources, but I must say I just prefer to use your awesome snowflake patterns rather than design my own :).

  7. You and your amazing links ... I only had time to look at a few, but I loved that quilled snowflake (the TP roll one), and those microscopic photos - simply miraculous. God must have a ton of fun designing all those snowflakes!

    P.S. If you are The Snowflake Lady, can we call you Flake Lady for short? ;)

  8. Hi Snowcatcher,
    You do beautiful work and we are all blessed that God has given you this gift to share.
    I would like to share something with you and you can share it with others if you like. I was looking at the simple plarn snowflake and it hit me that these would be weatherproof. Why keep them small, my idea is to use not only the bags from the stores, but to pick up a box of tall kitchen can bags from the dollar store each month. I will cut these into wide strips of 2-3 inches in width. Next I will crochet the snowflakes using a P,Q, or S hook to make them bigger. I can then use any string to hang them from the trees outside and have twelve new ones each year with little to no cost. Even for those people who live in areas where decorations tend to get ripped off these are no great loss. Just wish the person who took them blessings and make new ones for the next year.
    As I said feel free to share this idea if you would like as I am an older disabled woman who believes that we get back what we give.

    1. Hello, Pallie, and thank you for a wonderful suggestion! I think this could even work with grocery bags, just cut in wider strips. What a great way to use them up without harming the environment!

      You have a beautiful attitude and outlook. I wish you much joy in your snowflake creations and hope you will share with us the lovely outdoor decorations you wind up with.
