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.

Your creativity is endless. You inspire me so much with your talent. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. Just stop and think for a moment, all over the world, there are crocheted snowflakes because of you! That's pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteBlessings always sweet friend. :)
Thanks, Stitchy! I'd not thought about how many snowflakes there are because of my patterns. That's a really wonderful Thanksgiving thought! Thank you for bringing a happy spirit to my week!
DeleteWow they are all so different, some a bit trippy looking and others bright as can be, plus deer for all to see. Nicely done
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pat. I always wonder when you will tire of looking at snowflakes...
DeleteYou are " The Snowflake " Lady....as always...inspiring !
ReplyDeleteThanks, Faith! I think that's a title I can live with. :)
DeleteWow! I wish I had seen this while I was still teaching! I always did snowflake things with my kiddos ~ usually combined with poetry. That first snowflake is stunning! I hope that you are enjoying today's taste of snow!
ReplyDeleteSnowflakes and poetry is the perfect Christmas gift, Fundy! Maybe one day you can share on your blog about your classroom snowflake endeavors...
DeleteThese are such great snowflake resources, but I must say I just prefer to use your awesome snowflake patterns rather than design my own :).
ReplyDeleteThank you, Marie, but you really should keep designing snowflakes! Your first one is awesome!
Deletethank you for all the inspiration you give to us snowflakers! I haven't checked them out yet but you can bet I will check each and everyone out!
ReplyDeleteMany happy hours checking out the plethora of links, Brenda, and happy Thanksgiving!
DeleteYou 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!
ReplyDeleteP.S. If you are The Snowflake Lady, can we call you Flake Lady for short? ;)
Um, Sue, The Lizard said, "That's an understatement!" (Me being the Flake Lady.) :D
DeleteHi Snowcatcher,
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
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!
DeleteYou 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.
Snowcatcher: My sister would like to make the snowflake shown above on the back of the jeans. Did you write out a pattern for that one? Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteSnowcatcher: Found it! Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Pat! Glad you found it so quickly! Wish that particular flake would work up as fast... :)
