3136833942I have an idea that these may be useful for hospitalized kids or for those suffering with traumas, especially if there are varied expressions to mimic their feelings. Even if thrown in anger, what's the harm?

Thanks, Judy...I have another Cutie who has used these for exactly that purpose...to help a young girl burned in a fire..they were a great uplifting treat for her and her family..and I was so happy I helped play a small part in her recovery...I hope you enjoy them, too!
626i love the faces - and those eye lashes - we dont get snow at all where i come from - what I love about these is the shape - great design
221I love the snowballs and the names makes it so specials.

1543Super cute. Certainly brings a smile to me. They all have such gorgeous expressions.
11700Just discovered these. They are so cute, where can I get the pattern for the ball and the faces.
51After many months of recovering from surgery, finally I feel like stitching again. Living in Florida, we have no snow. However a bit of a cool snap has moved into our area with highs around 64 and lows 40's. Burrr, for us that's chilly. LOL
All during the last months I try to come to Cute every week or so and admire all the lovely projects y'all are making and give flowers to keep your gardens growing. When I saw these adorable snow kids, they were so perfect for Florida.
Thank you so much Kim for these lovely little treasures that bring me smiles that are much needed these days. You're an angel and I'm thankful you are watching over me. A part of you will always be with me with all your lovely designs past and present.
Love and huggers!
PS: I have a lot of catching up to do, so I hope y'all will be patient. :-)

23579Now that is a pile of fun waiting to happen. You are so clever!

72397102These are awesome. I can see my ornaments being knocked off the tree in a "snowball fight"!
29237great idea to use the shape of the parts of a tennisball, without checking, that's two pieces in the shape of a fat figure 8. I've used four parts to make a ball but I like your idea better.
the faces are funny, nice variations!

Thanks, Martine...It is nice to only have two pieces of fleece and only one continuous seam...and yes you are correct about the shape!
145190Love the facial expressions. Those eyelashes are adorable. Mustaches are big right now too. Would be cutd to have snowball done that way too. Can see one with a little top hat or toque on it. LOL I could so get into making these as they are just too cute!!!

109038It will be a blast at your house Christmas morning. I think I may do the same. I made some last year without faces and used my pumpkin design which made them not round, however more like a real snowball.

Here is a You Tube video to make hats for the snowballs.
13907Your snowballs are so cute. Thank you for sharing. This just reminded me of my brother & sister in laws children. One year we had the family Christmas Eve get together early and when Christmas Eve came along their children didn't know what to do. They started to toss the coaster that I made them around. Would be great if they were snowballs.
Thank again for sharing. Happy snowball fun.
9769love these. want to make for my elem. bus students, do you have a pattern and where can I get the faces from?

These are so cute. Would make for some great fun Christmas day, or any other day for that matter. I would love a pattern and the faces too if you decide to make them available to purchase. :)

Sorry to hear that. I am sure they would be popular as these are such lovely snowman faces. Thank you for showing them :)
17Oh, my goodness! These are the cutest little snowballs ever! Exactly my kind of snow ;) I love their expressive faces! You really have a cute idea for a snowy Christmas morning!
447511257Love these my Grankids would love them. Great for Christmas morning but I'm sure they will be alot of fun anytime. Would love the design. Arlene
31366These will be a treat on Christmas morning! Is the fabric able to get wet? if so a water soaked treat for a hot day..

Thanks...and yes, they can get wet and are totally washable...throw in washer and then dryer and then....begin the snowball fight again...I had to make them baby drool proof!
4591721044Beautiful idea until they get thrown he he GREAT job and adorable!!
45063Too Cute!! Well done. I am sure it will be a hit on Christmas morning. :-)

88650You always have the cutest ideas! This is great, especially for the ball players in the family!
109038111085They turned out great! I'm making the smaller size of Charming Station's version...only 11. I saw on Facebook that someone was up to 200 for a craft show! Read that they are fun where people work in office cubicles :) Ha!
9536Cute faces, and nice to have personalized them. For those wanting to make their own, Gigi of Charming Station has 2 sizes (I've made the larger, ball sized, and have the smaller to do) and Reen of Embroidery Garden now has a set. They are a big hit, stay out all year round at my son's!
