Pattern: A Cup of January

This year, I'll be putting together patterns to commemorate each month, all revolving around one theme. This year's theme will be cups for each month, so they all have little motifs that match the time of year they're in. A Cup of January has snowflakes to represent it being the middle of winter for the Northern hemisphere.
And in case it's for someone who speaks French, Spanish, or Italian, patterns for those month names are at the bottom for convenience.

It may be too large for your screen. Took 3.5 hours to make. The main frame is on a 100x100 grid.


I really need to get myself a job, because I'm too broke to go out and buy all the threads I need to stitch these patterns on here. Otherwise, I'd be devoting a ton of time to stitching the patterns I create for you all. A lot of the colours these patterns end up with are really specific and not in any starter pack, which makes things a tad difficult.
If anything, though, I really need to restart that gift stitch for my professor. If I'm going to frame it, it needs more of a border! I've wasted a whole skein of lapis blue on the first attempt by leaving a tiny border around the frame...

Anyway, happy stitching, and I apologize for the belated calendar pattern!
