I love my humbug~~~

This is one of the prettiest humbugs ......

Just Nan

Summer Wings  on 28 ct Blue Dynasty Cashel linen and DMC colors as listed

The colors are just so nice. There is a butterfly on each of the 3 sides ...... and the back .....

the beads and the simple outline are just perfect ....... and then ....

the counting pin that came with the pattern is really a perfect touch. I usually make counting pins to add to cushions, but who would when you can put this one in!

I never posted the finish for .....

BBD Summer Iris. It is sitting on the backing fabric.

I really must thank all of you who sent good wishes and thought to Mr H and myself. He is feeling much better. This was our first experience of it's kind and the hospital staff were just great. With Mr H not feeling well, I have discovered that I need a list of what to take care of around here! I forgot to water the garden and check the pond and almost forgot to feed the dog! I admit she could stand to loose a few pounds ... but really!

Today I will work on my exchange piece and maybe my embroidery too. I m craving fried rice....I know it is only morning.....and yes there are a few things that I cook ..... so I think I will steam the rice for later use and pour some iced tea......

thank you for visiting with me and the kind words and thoughts..... have a great day....

Hooray Humbug

If the moon gets stuck in a tree......
cover the hole in the sky with a strawberry.

Hooray the Humbug is finished.....

From the picture, it is hard to read that the letters are the word sunflower.....

It is a delightful pincushion. I can't wait to make a few more.
this was a freebie from http://mankaminta.blogspot.com/--stitched on 28ct stash linen
DMC: 3364  3822  3820  920  801 colors......

Thursday I received my chart for Happy Camper from Teresa.

She stitched it then offered it for a drawing. I think it so cute.....even though I would not---have not ever gone camping! No tents---not cots---I need a real bed and a flushing indoor toilet!!!!

Then to brighten my day yesterday.....

This RAK arrived from Blu Stitcher. Thank you Linda for all the fun things. As soon as I removed this sun whirly from the box, Mr H took out to hang....

and look at these sweet buttons...

teapot and tea cup!

Did I mention that Mr H and I love Almond candy.....and that was opened immediately! Linda is a  fellow Arizonan.

It is so nice to find a package in the mail when your spirits need a lift.

Today I got to sit out a little bit with my coffee.....until I could feel the heat. I will be off to work later today...then off until Thursday......good time to stitch. I do not have a picture to post of my challenge piece even though I did stitch on it. Tomorrow is another day.

It was so very nice to chat with you today...thank you for stopping by. Hope you have a great day.
