OH NO! There is ....


MORE BAH HUMBUG...



Yep, Sue Hillis is feeding my addiction with a second book of  those quirky Bah Humbug designs.

So, of course I had to buy it!  Here  is my fun fabbie and my floss toss.



... and here is my first one:  String of Lights on the delightful "Waterfall Blue" evenweave fabric (sorry the colour leached out of this photo).



I am so hooked on these designs - they are just so much fun to stitch!

Well, off to work in a minute and so train stitching, here I come.  After work it is shopping for shoes to go with my dress for the wedding and then dinner at Pelligrini's in the city and off to see "Once".

Big day ahead!

You all have a great one,

with Santa's Hat.....





When will it ever end?

When I have finished all five designs, of course!

Only Two to go!  lol!




How is all your Christmas stitching going?

Bah Humbug Indeed!

Well, I am still fixated on Sue Hillis's oh so cute Christmas Ornies - Bah Humbug!

Here is my latest finish and the start of the next one!


Santa's Stocking:

I have been experimenting with a Christmas variegated thread from Threadworx for the lettering.





The start of Santa's Hat:


Thanks for visiting,

.... and the Christmas stitching continues....

... as does my Little Sheep Virtues SAL.



This is the Little Sheep Virtues SAL I am doing with I am doing with Sarah, Lija and Anne. I am now working on "Love"
.
(sorry, for some reason all of my photos are looking washed out today - must be the grey, old day we have so far today).

Then, I have been stitching on



This is Raggedy Tree - stitched on 28 ct silk/linen and I changed some the threads.






... and then I started on  Christmas Stocking:  again, 28 ct silk/linen and a few thread changes .  This still has some branches, a border and the words Bah Humbug to be added.



Well, that is all from me today.  How is your Christmas stitching going?
