...back...

Hi girls...I'm back from two weeks of vacation at Pinarella beach (very relaxing ) and from two month far from blogging ……I need some time to accustom to the new home rhythm away from my parents' house …moreover I had to wait for my internet connection at home (it took a long time )…but now I'm ready for a new working year (I'm still thinking in schoolar year instead of calendar one)…

…I slept on post but I stitched enough…

Lets follow a chronological order

- in June I stitched this Newton to make a cover for my cutter.

- last July I started the Sailing Mice by Margaret Sherry of the July issue of Cross Stitcher to make curtain a for my bathroom. I finished them last week… and I'm quite satisfied by the end result ….the mice fit well with my orange bathroom!!!

- In July I stitched also a needleroll for Carol's birthday, I choose a chart called Summer charm from the July issue of Cross Stitcher, I used the DMC linen treads instead of the listed one…Carol loved it even if she tell me she had never seen one so big…ops...I've never seen a finished needleroll and I choose the measure by myself maybe I exaggerated …

- to take a break from the linen of the Sailing Mice ( I don't like very much linen) I stitched this Peekaboo kids by Deborah Flynn from issue n. 125 of The world of Cross Stitching

- when I finished the mice I stitch the wizard of SAL with Zohrah and Jenna and this is my current progress

- on Monday evening I decided to start a new chart the Archie “Messy Spaghetti” of CrossStitcher September 2006

Have a nice week

...Closed for Holidays...

...errata corrige..

Zohrah points out that my house restructuring history is in the future…after all this chaotic months I’m a little bit confused…. Thank you Zohrah….
Weeks ago I have been tagged by Zohrah and Chiloe and better late than never this is my 7 facts/habit:
Here are the rules: Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. You need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they have been tagged and to read your blog![I won’t tag anyone…if there is someone that has not been tagged yet feell free to list your seven things]

I hate driving when I’m in the car I’m a became a beast…like Goofy in a cartoon I saw when I was a child.
I and my sister in our childhood watched some films (like the Goonies, Adventures in Babysitting, Parent Trap) several times (at least thousand time each!!)...now we know all the cues rote
I love my nose but….I have a nostril greater than the other one, a nose hump that grows during the years and an unending cold...
I won my brown karate belt while I was expecting Alice….degenerate mum (I was only at the third month)
I‘m truly clumsy: on Saturday I broke 2 glasses in two minutes a new record!!!
I read always and everywhere…if I find something to read I do it and forget all the rest…also the food on the fire
I would like to have a lot of cactus in my kitchen but I can’t cultivate them….all my cactus died… I have a black thumb instead of a green one

For Helena the letter C is a chart of Camp Grandma by Jessica Breedlove Designs (Gloria & Pat) unfortunately I don’t know where you could buy it.

...New home.....

At last Saturday we moved…after several trouble everything was ready…we are very happy we love everything of our new house, it’s stil quite upside-down but everything will find their place sooner or later...below you can see some photos that show the restructuring story:

And now some x-stitch update:
This is the "C" I stitched for the GrandMa alphabet cover of Sogni d'Oro charity project organized by Levi

This is a little card I stitched for two friends who got married last week. The chartcome from the last ( I think maybe the previous one) number of Cross Stitch Crazy and is made by Maria Diaz.

And those are two bibs I stitched for two children of our friends who have their baptism last week. The chart are from one of the last issue of The world Of Cross Stitching by Johan Elliot.

Thank you for all your kind comment on my works
For the girls who tagged me sorry for my delay I'll post my answers sooner or later
Have a nice week end

...Bithday gift...

Today I found this marvellous gift from Carol in my mail box…last Friday was my birthday and Carol tell me she sent me a gift... unfortunately Italian mail aren’t very quick (to tell the true I think they are the slowest of the world ) so the mail take 3 weeks from US to Italy…but finally it arrives and it’s a great surprise…she send me this lovely scissor fob (sorry for the quality of the photo but I have few time to make it) the bunny is very cute and the finishing is perfect and there is a wonderful butterfly embellishment on the top left corner...very very beautiful Thank you very much Carol!!! this is a great gift..

A little finishing for me this week...after the pig I decided to start something small and i choose this Margaret Sherry cat from my stash..I think it's cute don't you?

In italy 1st of May is national holiday... tomorrow I'll go to the seaside for some days i hope to relax myself (and forget the stress of the house moving)...so have a nice week end

....still alive...

A quick post to tell you I’m still alive…this is a terrible busy period: at work there are thousand
things to do 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)

I would like to show you my last finishing: Pig Must Fly by Margaret Sherry….This word fit perfectly with my conditions!!! I’m not completely satisfied by the end results there is a lot of mistakes and imprecision due to the fact I used 3 strand of treads for the pink part as suggested on the magazine….awful choice

Happy Easter!!
