...Still alive...

I’m back from a long absconding :o)

In the past weeks I would like to post something but I didn’t find any time to do it… That was a very busy period at work and at home...I work all day at the pc and at evening I didn’t fell like to use the computer anymore….the new home is proceeding, and it’s very time and patience consuming… every day there is a new trouble to solve… now I can see the light of day but there are more things to do :-(….We hope to move in March or latest in April…(I hope to show you some photos soon).

In the last week I tried to add emoticon to my post thanks to this link it works :-D….I would like to use the emoticon of the previous post instead o this one but I’m not able to change the image… any suggestion?

Now x-stitch…

First of all I would like to show you my winter envelope for EMS mail art exchange.

This is the envelope I made for Elisa, I choose a snowmen from an old Italian Magazine and I stitch it on a silkweavers sparkle fabric I bought years ago. I’m quite satisfied by the and as Elisa likes it I’m very happy :o)



And this is the envelope I received from Denise, I love it very much it’s marvellous. And the treads she sent me are lovely. Thank you Denise!!!

Ems Italian Mail art exchange is officially finished for me I have to say I enjoy it very much…I never made cross stitch envelope before and I have to say it’s amusing!!: I received 4 wonderful envelope and some wonderful gift…Thank you very much to all my partner :-D

Last week end I applied myself to decoupage this is my products for Alice DD:

a star photo frame:

and a box, I fall in love with this wonderful drawing by SIA and I bought some paper napkin to make something for Alice at the beginning of January during our trip to Brunico, in that occasion I bought also a lovely Jew’s harp for Alice with the same princess:

Yesterday evening I finished the November flip it…I have already start the dicember one I hope to finish it this evening I’m rather tired of the flip it style…I need a break from those part full of x (the month name is terrible!!!)

Finally I have made a visual list of my next x-stitch project for the 25 piece challenge (in addition to this I’ll add only charts from the next issue of the magazines I‘m subscribed):

Your mail art snowman is so cute. Congrats on your L*K Nov finish. I know what you mean about the month name being a pain to stitch. I think that's why I do it right after the border each month.

I love some of the pieces you are doing in your challenge. Can you tell me who the 2 little girls above Archie bear rolling are by? I've never seen them before and they are SO cute.

Welcome back, missed seeing your postings. You've certainly been busy. I really like the mail art, that is so unusual. The little snowman is adorable.

I love Igon....pretty cool with the sonic sound. :-)

I have the computer wizard design in my stash. Maybe I should dig that one out and start stitching.
