Romy in Austria

After a lot of working in the garden this afternoon, I found some time this evening to finish my stitching on the Catherine Armchair Pinkeep. Now will come the harder part....... the finishing. IŽll wait for this till IŽll get a "silent" hour without...

Thank you Laurie for motivating me to think about kiting up the Lancaster Manor Pocket. I bought the chart from a stitchingfriend who took the class and she included the left over silks. So itŽs easier to find the right supplies for this design. Yesterday...

I really love needlecases. Today I took a picture of my small collection. The two in the middle are new only with an antique look, but the wooden right and the brass on the left side are from my grandmother, so they should be about 100 years.

Just I received some new charts which I bought on ebay. The Celtic Band Sampler by Homespun Samplar, since long time I wanted to start this sampler. The Strawberry Sampler Scissores Case, because I never can resist to buy special needlework necessaire...

Yesterday I finished the first pocket of the IR Armchair Pinkeep class. After finished the stitching I saw that I did an error in counting in the one over one part :-((. One side of the letters is two threads higher :-(( Think it would be better to re-start...

Today in my mail I found a secret stitcher package?? I wondered what IŽll get, and inside I found the Blue Ribbon Sampler book. IŽm totally overwhelmed, what a wonderful and generous present. I really want to start the Blue Ribbon Sampler soon. Maybe...
