Teddy Bears Picnic



I made this little snowman as a kids craft project when I was teaching children to sew.  He is picnicing in one of my herb tubs today.  I think I'll make him a tasty batch of cheese and herb scones.
Join in the Fun
Do you have a bear, dolly or softie to share on the picnic today.  Just pop your details into Mr Linky and join in the fun.


Fabulous Free Patterns
There are lots of gorgeous free patterns for snowman projects and I associate them with Christmas even though snowmen would melt in ten minutes on a typical hot summers Christmas' day here in Melbourne.


I think Jean Greenhowe patterns have a special charm and this fabulous free knitting pattern is offered generously here at Jean Greenhowe Designs.


I've mentioned before how much I adore the artwork of Helena at Graphics Garden.  She has so much she shares for free including all manner of Christmas stationery.  These little snowman are adorable.


Michelle at With Heart and Hands did a great post a couple of years ago with links to many wonderful Snowman patterns and she led me to these adorable snowman ornaments at All People Quilt.


And I love this Snowman Door Hanger too.  So cute and a free pattern at All People Quilt

    Hi Melody. It is looking like a lovely day for a picnic, especially after the storms last night.
    I enjoy seeing your snowman out and about getting ready for Christmas. Thanks again for the wonderful links.

    I love snowmen too Melody and it is crazy how we love them here in Oz with our hot Christmas. At least he will be cool amongst the herbs there. Very cute chap! They are amongst my favourite to draw too.

    Thank you Melody this is nice, and your snowman is so cute. I love snow, coming from Iceland I have so many nice memories about snow houses with candle lights and snowman with carrot nose and so on. Thank you for the knitting pattern link.
