Snowmen go for a ride

Remember back in September a friend came over to sew snowman bodies while I cut them out.  I said at a later date I would have them finished up.  Little by little I have stuffed, gathered, sewn coats and hats for them.  The past week or so I have finished up a bunch of them.
All in all I finished up 14 of the snowman heads on a wreath(front left guy).  Nine of Singing Sam(front middle one).  Eleven of Liberty Sam(front right) And 8 of the top ones holding the redwood sticks, he is called Light the way.  

Here is Light the way holding two different battery operated tea lights, one is glittery and one is grungy. 


Liberty Sam is either holding a glittery white tree or a snowflake, and carrying a jingle bell.  

All boxed up and ready to go for a ride to a craft show that starts Nov. 1st.  I need to deliver them today in order for the people to get everything all set up.  Believe it or not I still have about 25 more to finish up for a show in early December.   

But first I need to get more snowman runners made!  The show that is going on right now emailed after this first weekend saying my snowman runners all sold already!  The show goes for 3 more long weekends, so I might try to get more up to her.  I already know that the one I am delivering at today needs more because I don't have very many to give her to start with!  Whew-maybe I need a nap first;) 

Linking with Connie, Susan , Brooke and Jennifer

    Hi Vicki! I love all the different snowmen!! So darn cute - I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. I knew your runner were going to sell well. I know 'we' went through this last year. Next year I'm going to make you set a goal of making so many each month all year long - then hopefully you'll still need to sew a bunch at the end of October because they are selling so well. {{Hugs}} That's just great!! ~smile~ Roseanne

    Sounds like it's time for a table runner sew-a-thon! I totally understand why you need to make more...your snowmen table runners are SO cute. As are your little stuffed guys. I hope they enjoy their car trip, and they all go to new homes. Craft show season is here!

    You found the redwood sticks! Yippee! I love your snowman population! So fun. Just can't figure out my favorite. You made one back when I started following you that I should've bought. Still thinking on that one. Haha

    Congratulations on selling the snowman runners! The snowmen in this posting are so adorable Vicki!!! I am sure they too will sell out. I am still sewing for my 2 shows in mid November. But I sold several zipper pouches and a few other bags already elsewhere.

    Oh, those are just so adorable! Hard to pick a favorite - I actually like the whole grouping on the stairs. LOL. I am not surprised that these sell so well, and the runners I love, too. I'm glad it's working so well for you.

    This is all very good news. I'm thrilled the shows are a success for you especially after the first one was a little slow.

    There are some really handsome snowmen in there. I love mine on a wreath. Looking forward to getting him out again...soon!
