Dirty Trick

Yes, Mother Nature played a dirty trick on us last night. We woke up to find snow everywhere! The pictures below are of our deck and the trees behind. I think we got about two inches of the fluffy white stuff. Can't complain, other parts of Minnesota have had it worse!



I can now show you a picture of the biscornu I sent out for the Tiny Treasures exchange. It went to Patti in the U.K. This was my first experience stitching on black!

Brigitte said...

OMG, snow again. I can't believ what I see on your pictures. I just hope it won't stay too long.
Your biscornu looks great, I love the effect of the colours on the black fabric.

Your biscornu is beautiful! Great job with both stitching and finishing! I particularly love those little heart buttons in the middle! I can't imagine getting any snow...especially in April...but then again, in Texas it was 80 yesterday!

Cathy,
I hadn't looked outside yet--YUCK! I didn't know it snowed, or that it was going to snow. Will it ever end.

Your biscornu is beautiful. The button you chose is perfect.

Have a great day!

It has been ages since I have lived in a snowy region. I miss it sometimes but I get my fix from pictures like these :)

The Biscornu turned out great.

Well, that was just so unfair. Just when we thought spring was here to stay.
That is a very lovely biscornu. Nice job there.

Patricia Lessell said...

This biscornu is not just lovely it is absolutley positively GORGEOUS like you wouldn't believe in real life. I just LOVE it to pieces. I think it is one of the best exchanges I have ever had and it has really made me want to do more of them. Thank you so much - I really can't thank you enough. Lots and lots of Love Patti xxx

P.S. Hasn't anyone told your weatherman that it's April and supposed to be Spring!

Gabi said...

Beautiful biscornu. And I hope you'll get spring now soon. It's a bit late for snow isn't it?

Deb said...

You did such a beautiful job on this biscornu. I saw this on Patti's blog too! Wonderful job. I think your snow is coming our way here in Michigan. 2 to 4 inches predicted for tonight and tomorrow. I hope that's the last of it!

That is a dirty trick! But it's pretty too :) And your biscornu is great! Stitching on black is difficult for me.

Sonda said...

What a lovely biscornu! On black, the colors just POP!

Theresa said...

The biscornu is beautiful!!!! I love how you used the black fabric!!

Von said...

Mother Nature does not play fair!! That nasty white stuff needs to leave us alone. We haven't had snow here, but up until this weekend, winter was still grasping at us with cooler temps and generally gray, rainy, blustery days.

I heart your little biscornu. I'm sure Patti is thrilled. :)

Michelle said...

That's a beautiful biscornu!

Black & White post!!
The White snow is so beautiful - I have never seen anything so pretty but I do wonder if I could cope with the cold :)
The Black fabric on your biscornu made a STUNNING result - amazing finish, well done :)

Katrina said...

Gorgeous biscornu. I like black linen in small doses :-).

We got a lot of snow last week too.

Lelia said...

Wasn't that snow a drag? Shoveling on Monday morning... yuk! Good think my gloves were still in the car. Beautiful biscornu!!! Love the colors and saw the pics Patti had on her blog. Enjoy the day : )

Cindy F. said...

Oh no!! Snow!! Hopefully your Spring is just days away:)

I also saw your beautiful biscornu on Patti's blog today! You did an amazing finishing job and the design on black is gorgeous!! Good job girl! I know Patti is so happy to have it:)

Kit said...

What a beautiful biscornu, and the snow is lovely, if not a bit inconvenient.

CindyMae said...

That Biscornu is just fantastically gorgeous!!! I love it! I love that fluffy white stuff, wish we could have some of that stuff around here.

Tobie said...

Oh Cathy, your biscornu is so pretty! Love the pink on black! Hope that snow's melted by now-dirty trick indeed!

Michele said...

gotta love Mother Nature's sense of humor when it comes to Spring time :) Hope it's warming up for you!

OMGosh I love your biscornu! It's lovely on black :)

Lynn B said...

Love this biscornu, very pretty!

Deb said...

I can't even look at those snow pictures without shivering! All I can say is, "I'm so sorry," and, "I'm soo glad I live in FL!" On another topic... that little biscornu is beautiful. Patti surely must adore it. Hugs, Deb
