Serendipitous Jo's Fifteenth Frolic of the Year

Following my Happy Dance for Nora Corbett's J Fairy (see this post for photos) I used the Random Number Boy to pick my next focus project.  Another Nora Corbett!   But not a fairy or a lady this time.  This is one a series of Little Snowy buildings she did a while back.  There are six in total and I have charts for three of them.  And the bling too.  There is a LOT of bling in these buildings.

I started Little Snowy Gray Cottage on Day 19 of the DUCJC2015 and this week is the first time I have picked it up again.

Here is the first day's progress from the DUCJC2015:

And here is where we are now:

Stitched on 32 count Blue Hydrangea Opalescent from Crafty Kitten

I substituted B5200 for the Blanc which looked murky next to the sparkle.  I also substituted a Jodyri Thread called Emerald Forest for the Caron Waterlilies in the hedge.  I mean, £5 for one skein!  I can buy an actual hedge plant for that amount.
