Well, I survived the blizzard of 2010, the biggest snowstorm that I can remember. Also one of the biggest to hit the DC area. We received about 22 inches here at my home but some of the areas nearby got over 30 inches! It was a spectacular storm, and I would have enjoyed the beauty of it a bit more if we hadn’t lost power for 12 hours. But, that was relatively brief and painless (though a little chilly). A heartfelt thanks to all of the men and women out working in the storm to restore power to people’s homes.
For Christmas this year I made my own personal blizzard of free-standing lace snowflake ornaments, stitching out 24 of these snowy wonders. I have one left over and am offering it as a memento of the 2010 blizzard to one lucky reader of my blog. To qualify for the drawing all you need to do is leave a comment on this post by 6 a.m. on Thursday morning, February 11. I will randomly draw a winner from all of the comments received and post the winner’s name here on Thursday. I need to have some way of contacting you so please be prepared to email me your address should you be the winner.
This snowflake design was purchased at Embroidery Library and comes in a set of six designs. The snowflakes are stitched onto water soluble stabilizer which is washed away leaving the thread design.
