Brrrr it's been so cold the past couple of days in Scotland. After such a nice autumn, it's a shock to the system. 8)
The cold weather is a great excuse for my favourite hobby though, right?
I finished off Christmas Elf Fairy.
My (now) obligatory scan AND photo - I can never make up my mind which one to add, so you get both. 8) She's stitched on a piece of Reflections Winter Skye Lugana I had. I normally only ever stitch on Belfast/Edinburgh/Newcastle Linens anymore (I just prefer them), but I have quite a number of pieces of Lugana and other fabric in my stash that I really must use up!! I would normally never even comtemplate stitching on opalescent evenweaves (Lugana/Jobelan) after some bad experiences (it's so difficult to find the holes in the fabric!!), but this wasn't so bad at all... much less traumatic than I remember it anyway! LOL
Heather was asking if I plan to do all the Mirabilia
holiday fairies, and no, I'm not planning on it. I don't like them all, TBH. I'll definitely do Miss New Years and possibly Valentine, but that's all I plan. I don't like Thanksgiving Fairy, and I've tried really hard to like the Easter Fairy. Well, never say never... I'm very often swayed by gorgeous WIPs I see... I've disliked a design before and then after seeing a gorgeous finish I've put it on my wish list! All your lovely blogs out there have a lot to answer for.... 8)
Thank you for all your lovely comments on the Shepherd's Bush finish, btw! I really appreciate those so much. I see there are quite a lot of SB HH WIPs out there - they all look fantastic... I'm looking forward to seeing some Happy Dances soon. 8)
