Today I got this lovely scissors keeper and this lovely scissors as a surprise present from Sandra. Isn´t the strawberry scissors keeper beautiful?? I love to get another stitching small for my collection!!! And I love strawberries! Why did you know this, Sandra :-)!!!
Today I put the last stitches into Catherine Agnes by Indigo Rose and now it´s finished. It was the first time I did cutwork, and I really like how it looks like. It´s always a pleasure to stitch one of these Indigo Rose designs and they all looks really special. I think I have to start another one soon :-)!!! But first I´m really happy about my HD!!
I really was quiet the last days, and first I have to thank you for many private mails I got with the question if everything is okay with me. It´s only "real life" and less of stitching time that I didn´t blogg a while.
It´s so nice to hear that I was missed, and that there are a lot of stitching friends which take care of me.
For my stitching, I primary stitched on my piece for the Sampler Lady Exchange on the Legacy BB. It took a little longer as I thought, but now it´s almost finished and I can send it out to ????? on Monday.
For myself I stitched the nineteenth century part of the Threads Through Time sewing roll. Now I only have to stitch one more part and the outside of the sewing roll will be finished. Hopefully I can start the inside of the sewing roll in May.
Today I got a surprise package from my dear friend in stitches Angela.
She sent me this lovely box by Des Histoires a Broder. It´s wonderful stitched one over one and perfectly finished!! I really love it.
Just I received this Sampler Tote Bag. Isn´t it nice to carry my love for Samplers now with me :-)!!
Or maybe I´ll use it to store my actual WIPs.
Here you can see a picture of the original sampler. http://www.geocities.com/shootstmx/
Here´s my progress on Mystery IX by Chatelaine. I wasn´t really happy with the first part, so I totally fell behind. I didn´t know if I really want to stitch a vegetable garden. But now when the first patches are to stitch, I really love how it comes along. So I´ll try to catch up. Hope this will work.
For my "one ornament a month" goal I stitched and finished this Bunnies by Prairie Schooler. I think that´s a nice decoration for Easter time.
Now the Easter week is starting, so my daughter and I decorated our Easter Tree. I don´t know if this is usually in every country ?? But here almost in every home there is such an Easter Tree.
Over the years I collected a wide range of hand painted and other hand crafted eggs. And it´s always a nice decoration for Easter.
Here´s a progress picture of my Catherine Agnes by Indigo Rose. I finished all the spots and now I only have to stitch on the last three corners and I have to do the cutwork. So hopefully this will become an April finish. I´m only a little anxiously about the cutwork, I´ll leave it till the end. I really hate to cut into my stitching :-), so please, wish me luck that this will work well!!
Today I got a wonderful package from Laurie, she was my exchange partner for the Sampler rabbit exchange. She stitched for me a wonderful bellpull by Little House Needlwork and sent some extra goodies.
I really love them. The bellpull perfectly fits into my bedroom and immediately I hang it close to my bed. Now I can enjoy it every day when I wake up.
