Snow Sports and Games

Despite overflowing craft room and every cupboard, shelf and drawer in the house, there are times when I'm glad I'm a hoarder.
I last used this skating motif about fifteen years ago but managed to find the old Leisure Arts Leaflet 197,
Christmas Stitchin'.
I enjoyed the quick stitching on silver flecked Aida and added lace, fluffy yarn, silver beads
(not gold as they show) and star sequins stitched down with white seed beads.
A fun tag!
