...Blog first Birthday...

...one year ago I started this blog…

Thank you to all people who read my blog and leave some comments... you make me happy :o) …and you are a spur to stitch ;o)

Thank you very much!!

..some photos...

Alice had a great first day at school with a conjurer show…they had a lot of fun…now it is hard for her (and for me) to get up so early but we hold on ;o)
I didn’t organize anything for her first day unfortunately I stayed at work all the afternoon :o(

I have some progress to share…I’m quite late with the post but the dilemma was to stitch or to post and I choose to stitch … In those evening DH was employed to read ELDEST by Paolini so I have all the evening free…for my stitching ;o)
A little progress on my winter Peace SAL…

and my Sunday progress on the MS bird for Nima’s fabric in MS RR…yesterday evening I finished the x-stitch an I start the back stitch but unfortunately I have no time to take a photo…

...Pout Pourry...

First of All…thank you very much of all your comments on Alice’s work …we are very happy for your congratulations messages!! For the moment she has not decided to start a new project ….as soon as she will start a new one I’ll show you!!

Overwhelming victory of beige linen !!! (7-0)
Thank you for all your advices on my SAL fabric!!

The SAL started last Sunday and this is my current progress…this is very small progress but I have had not much time to stitch in those days….

I would like to show you an other x-stitch progress (I stitched on it last Friday waiting for the starting of the SAL) …the cow of MS fun farm animal …

Last week I also finished my September flip it...

Yesterday I received my MS Calendar with the178 issue of Cross Stitcher…it’s marvellous!!! And the next issue will be fantastic…there will be some cute Christmas chart I’m itching to received it!!
	I received also the November issue of the World of Cross Stitching …at last I take mysubscription to this magazine on monday I received also the subscription gift: a Country Companion kit :o)….well in this issue I like the second Peekaboo kids by Deborah Flynn (in my MUST STITCH LIST) and Wordsworth the cat...

There is a lot of Christmas chart…unfortunately I won’t have enough time to stitch anything Christmassy :o(

Tomorrow Alice will have her first day at Primary School ….what excitement!!!

...Ali's first work...

Last Sunday was a stitching day…not for me but for my DD Alice…
I was sitting on my sofa stitching on my September flip it (this is my progress) when Alice ask for her cloth because she would like to stitch with me…. So I remembered the June issue of Cross Stitcher with two little charts for kids to learn how to stitch….I uncovered it and she chose the boat chart, she personalized it with the sea and the two side sail. She stitch for 3 hours with care and she didn’t stop until she finished her work…

....at the end she was proud of her work and showed it to everyone.

I finish it in a little scissor fob…

At the end of the day I was very happy for her result but I was also very tired, it’s hard to teach to a child how to stitch…you need a lot of patience... I hope she won't ask me to stitch for a month at least ;o)

Thank you for all your kind comments...

Thank you to the anonymous that told me I have missed a couple of green crosses…I didn’t notice it, I have already put right!!!

For Stitcher the first idea was to frame my flip it…by now I’m quite undecided maybe I’ll sew a panel with it….we will see :o)

...SAL advice...

Yesterday my Down Sunshine Lane order is arrived!!! They are very quick I’m satisfied of my e-shop choice and of my new supplies!!

Now I’m ready for the SAL of Sister and Best friend group that starts the 10 of September!!
Concerning this I would like to ask you an advice on the linen I will use for the Peace chart for the SAL.

This is my two linen options:

Antique Rose Linen

Beige Linen

What do you think? Rose or beige linen?
