Bah, humbug! Part II

I heard that my partner in France received her humbugs today (and loved them!) so I can provide you, finally, some more stitchy pictures!

The idea of the exchange was to stitch same design on same colour(s) on light and dark fabric and use humbug finish.

Info:

• Design: Nameless at current
• Designer: Lady Periphaeria
• Fabrics: 32 count hand-dyed opalescent Jobelan. Sky blue from Silkweaver, graphite grey from my own dye pots.
• Floss: DMC 550

This is the "series starter" I talked of. I am not just sure will I work on this next or the another series-of-sorts I have in my to-do pile... decisions, decisions!

I received the most beautiful butterfly humbugs from Melissa in Friday, but as I have been wasted last two days - after cleaning like crazy for two days - I haven't had energy to blog about them.

Beautiful, aren't they?! The humbugs hang on my monitor and the card is on display - I think I need to find a frame for it to protect it from my crazy cats.

I am still finishing my two, and am dreadfully late. Luckily the exchange organizer understands about the situation as she knows that I haven't been well and have the medication adjustment going on.

Otherwise our weekend went mostly like this:
