and I’ve started my house moving
…I’m very happy my house is almost ready and we will move there soon (I’ll show you some photos sooner or later)
The silkweaver lemon sparkling fabric is perfect for this chart and save me from the yellow cross stitch in one strand if I had to make all this half cross stitch point I’ll never finish it!! I think I’ll finish it in a little bag to store my stockings
On Thursday I start a new project…I decide to stitch “A day at the beach” of the series Peekaboo kids by Deborah Flynn from The World of Cross Stitching n. 115, anno 2006…I love this little design…I would like to stitch all the series (hoping that the magazine will publish other design as they said) and frame it in the IKEA little frame…to fit the frame size I choose aida 16 but I think it’s quite small …
Yesterday evening a little stitching form me only some xxx on the little girl
Have a nice week end
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):
Check of my beginning year stitching goal:
1.Finish my started project before I’ll start a new one:
2. Finish all RR and Exchange:
Secondly I would like to show you my first 2007 happy dance….finally I’ve finished the MS Fun Farm animal series…in the last days I finished the cow….
and yesterday I framed all the animals with the square frame I bought a year ago…
I decide not to paint it and to leave it pealed as in Quick and Easy example. I’m very satisfied by the end result…I’ll hang them on new Alice’s room….when it will be finished ;-)
It’s time for good x-stitch intentions:
1. Finish my started project before I’ll start a new one:
3. Start a new challenge by Haturtorres to stitch 25 (the original number is 50 but it’s too high for me) pieces before I buy any more stash. I find this challenge time ago on Jenn’s blog and I think it’s perfect for me!!! Here are her rules for the challenge.
Purpose of the challenge: to reduce the amount of patterns you have not stitched. This challenge can also be applied to other areas of you stash if you wish (please post your personal modification).
The Rules:
1. Have fun reducing your stash.
2. There is no time limit- people have different size projects they would like to work on.
3. Thou shall not purchase any new patterns until 10, 25, or 50 projects have been stitched. Pattern size does not matter.
4. This challenge can also apply to knitting, beading, sewing and crocheting patterns.
5. You can make some exemptions - I am not placing limitations on this due to commitments that people might already have. Remember, though, the goal of this challenge is to reduce stash so too many exemptions will sabotage these efforts.
6. Gifts, gift cards, trades, RAKs and patterns bought with gift money are not a violation of this challenge.
7. Freebies count as part of your total and you can aquire them at any point.
8. The offical start date of this challenge was Sept 1, 2006 since I have been posting about it for awhile and want to make sure the everyone's projects have been included.
Only exemptions…the patterns of the magazine I'm subscribed.
I create a new blog to show al my 25 piece: My 25 finishe pieces
I’ll post the list of the pattern I’ll stitch in this challenge.
Thank you very much for all your comment on my bunny :-)...I appreciate them very much!!
Have a nice week end!!!
