Lisa and I started Just Nan Winter Heart Humbug last week and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed stitching this piece. I just love everything about it especially those Rhodes Hearts in the middle of the snowflakes. They are so pretty in GAST Jasmine. The making up was very easy too although I did read and re-read the instructions and keep checking as I was stitching it up just to make doubly sure! So here it is, front and back view:) I think I may have overstuffed it as it doesn't quite sit right but I do love this.

I will be back later in the week with my WIPs and maybe another finish. BRD Peppermint Twist is close to being finished so I'm going to get that out again tomorrow then once that's finished I'll stitch on JN 4 Wishes for a couple of nights until that is finished. Then I can have some new starts!! Lol! And you will not believe what had been out today! Lisa was saying she was doing 10 stitches a day on her personalised sampler and I asked if I could join her in doing 10 a day on............... wait for it................ no Julie, sorry it's not the Christmas mystery......................... it's Chatelaine Spring Morning!! I dutifully popped 10 stitches in today but carried on and did a few more but, woe is me, I discovered a mistake I'd made the last time I stitched on it ( nearly 2 years ago!!!!) and ended up frogging all I'd put in today and more! Lol! However I did put at least 10 back in so that's OK!!
I had a wonderful start to Monday as I discovered I'd won a giveaway on Robin's blog. I am so excited to be one of the lucky winners and it certainly cleared that Monday morning feeling! Thank you Robin!

Sally your humbug is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSorry you had a visit from the frog.
Congrats on winning Robins giveaway.
Such a pretty little humbug, Sally
ReplyDeleteSomeone told me to try one length of floss and I found myself stitching a little more.
No More Frogging!!!!
Wow Sally that's just gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Sally!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Ten stitches a day, huh? I have *several* WiPs that are approaching (or have even passed) the one-year-since I picked them up mark...I think this might make them into--dare I say it--UFOs!! Maybe I should do such a thing...but, would it matter? Will they every finish at such a rate? Wouldn't it take years? I wonder....
ReplyDeleteLoving your Humbug. The colours are lush as well as the actual pieces...

Lovely humbug, it looks as if its really sparkly in real life. Congratulations on your win
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty finish Sally, congratulations! I like the 10 stitches a day idea - might have to implement that for a couple of my longer-term WIPs!
ReplyDeleteLove that humbug Sally!
ReplyDeleteCute little humbug.
ReplyDeleteWill the Christmas Mystery ever see the light of day again!!!
Sally, your humbug is beautiful (and I think it's sitting there just fine)! :) I like that 10 stitches a day idea, too. Just might have to borrow that one. hugs, di
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely finish, Sally! I'll bet all of that beading took a lot of time, but it sure adds to the beauty of the finished piece. It looks great to me--I like a heavily stuffed finish myself :)
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to catch up with you today. Your WIPs and finishes are wonderful. You've really been sticking to roll finishing! It looks like you've been so busy.
ReplyDeleteYour new stashy items look like loads of fun also.
Sally, your finish is just lovely! JN pieces are my favorites. I can't wait to see what else you have been working on and Chatelaine sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSally,
ReplyDeleteYour JN humbug is so pretty! Looking forward to seeing your new start.

What a cutie, Sally! Sounds like you are liking this stitching together thing. And that it's working well for you, too!
ReplyDeleteI just found, last night, that I have your JustNan chart that you loaned me last year! Horrified! It's coming back to you this week! I never did get a chance to stitch it, which is why I forgot... :[
Hugs, Deb
