January Cottage of the Month

I finished my January Cottage of the Month.  Even using 3 strands of floss, the snowflakes aren't really very visible.  I probably should have used a darker fabric but darn it if I didn't want that sparkle.  I didn't really do much finishing on it.  I just ironed under the edges and put it in a frame.  I'll probably finish it properly on foam core in the future, but for now just ironing it will do.  I found this 8x8 frame at Michaels and I'll be using the same frame and switching out the cottage every month.  I had so much fun getting back into cross stitching and I can't wait to stitch up February's Cottage!
