SAL JHA 1905 and Giveaway

Click on the picture for a closeup view

Part 2 of Simone's SAL was released on Saturday, December 15. I quickly downloaded it and wanted to start immediately but unfortunately, as usual at this time of the year, other things got in the way and I didn't get round to stitching it up until the evening. I am really enjoying this little red sampler and it really is 'little' as I am stitching it 1*2 on walnut ink dyed 48ct Gander linen with Needlepoint Inc 505. It measures 4¾" across the top! It's not too late to join this SAL - Part 1 and, of course, Part 2 are still available although Part 1 will be removed on January 12 so don't leave it too late if you want to stitch it. The scissors are tiny black Storklettes by Kelmscott Designs.

And now for a little giveaway. This Eiffel Tower scissor fob will be given away to one of my followers as a thank you for sticking around! So please leave a comment and you are in the draw. New followers are welcome and you will get an extra chance to win if you share this on your blog - please tell me in your comment if you do this. The draw will be made on December 31 - my blog's 5th birthday.

*THIS GIVEWAY HAS NOW CLOSED*

It's a bright sunny day but very cold; I have a dental checkup today so instead of taking the car I will walk there as it's not too far!

Thanks for visiting

Take care

Sorry blogger did not let me finish I love the design and have downloaded it ,I wish I could see to stitch on 48 count I will most probably do it on 32 count. I would love to win in your giveaway

Your stitching looks great, Carol! As always, I might mention....

Has it really been 5 years? My, the time has flown by!

I've been working on my stitching plans for 2013--and the iStitch charts figure prominently in my plans. I'm going to stitch each of the Winter/Christmas charts and finish them as flat folds to use on the mantle next year. (Think Christmas cards...) I'll be sure to send you a photo of the mantle next year!

Oh - such perfect,tiny work! Afraid I don't have the eyes for that any longer, but I love to LOOK at it!

That fob is lovely and I would appreciate being entered into your giveaway. It conjures memories of my brief (4 days only) visit to Paris and would look beautiful on the red Sajou scissors I treated myself with.

Merry Christmas and Thank You!

I'm stitching it too but have managed to go wrong in the top row of the alphabet so will need to look at it today.

Your stitcing is lovely as always. I do envy your ability to stitch on such tiny counts. Please add me to the drawing - I'm finally able to catch up on my blog reading after DH's surgery and am sooo far behind.

Thanks for the tip on the red sampler. Looks great so far.
I would love to have the scissor fob. I know the perfect person who deserves it and doesn't have time for reading blogs. She always seems to be doing for others
