Stitchers are wonderful !!!

First I won a little gift from Dawn's blog when she did a drawing for her blogoversary. She picked three winners and I was so lucky to be one of then ( even though after it I forgot about my winning ) Yesterday I received the most precious gift A scissor fob with a beautiful design on it. Everything is perfect: the opalescent fabric, the brown cording, the pumkin design. You got it: I just love it But I won't use it as a scissor fob because my scissors are too ugly. However, I found a great way to see it everyday: I put it on my computer

And this is where it is now:


Thank you very much Dawn !!! You couldn't choose a better design for me !!! You completely guessed right when you chose this design !!! I'm very very happy !!! Emma loves it too: she find it very beautiful too .This is my second hand made gift after the one I won on Barbara's blog !!!


Then a couple of days ago, I received the chart
Andie generously offered me after she finished her celtic autumn with her color conversion I admired a lot on her blog.



What you see is actually Andie's beautiful finish with the converted colors. And this is the original colors:

I really love the orange / green colors. It really gives me a fall feeling when I look at it. I need to find the right fabric for it.


I made more progress on my Lanarte !!!



Yesterday the landlord called. He wants to change our bedroom window on tuesday. I told him that he needs to be aware that I won't be there on wednesday and he replied that's fine, I may put back the shutters another day No, no, There is no way we can sleep without shutters as we don't have any curtains ... That man doesn't care at all for us or our family life: he does what is convenient for him

You need to get yourself a pair of pretty scissors!

I hope you get things sorted out with your landlord. I lived for 4 years in an apartment without any curtains, and it was wonderful having the city nightlight outside my window; when I moved into the place, I couldn't imagine that I would love it so much, as I always insisted on a dark room to sleep in.

The original colors of the L&L are nice, but I like Andie's conversion a LOT better. I think you're right - it gives it a much more "fall" feeling!

I am so happy you like it! I hope to be able to make something again for you soon.:)

Thanks for the comment on my Snowman. I just LOVE him! I can't wait to see which stocking you stitch from the book.:)

Do you think I could get the color conversion that your friend Andie did on Celtic Autumn. It is awesome. And I own that chart! Much more Autumn looking that the orginal. If so here is my email addy rebecca_26_2005@yahoo.com

Your WIP is looking great. You are such a quick stitcher.

I love the new Autumn colours. How will you cope with stitching the green :grin:.

What a beautiful fob you've received! The autumn colours is L&L design are wonderful. I think it's such a beautiful design and these colours make it look very autumnal :) Your Lanarte is looking pretty too!

I love the conversion of Celtic Autumn. That is so pretty all stitched up so I'm looking forward to seeing you stitch it:)

Your Lanarte is looking gorgeous.

That's a beautiful fob!

Without shutters AND a curtain?! Not good! Can't you put a sheet up? Catch it in the window frame to get it to hang or something like that? Hope you get something sorted!

You're making great progress on the Lanarte. :)

Wow...that Scissor Fob is so pretty...congratulations on receiving that.

I have Autumn Celtic in my Stash and I would love to have the conversion colors too for that one. Your friend Andie colors are so much prettier than the original Design.

Your Lanarte WIP is coming right along...I can't wait til you get that one finished. That is going to be so beautiful.

I never had any luck with any of my landlords when I was living in my apartment and in a house trailer. I had trouble with both of my landlords so I know what you are going through.

Take care & Happy Stitching

Love the fob that Dawn made for you, your wip is coming along nicely and I love your parade photos.

Carol said...

Those really are fantastic gifts!!

Pumpkin said...

You are so right Chiloe! That is the perfect fob and you had better watch out so that I don't steal it from you ;o) LOL!

I have to agree, I do love the color conversion much better. Those are autumn colors to me but then again, I'm not a purple person :oD

What a pain! I hope your windown gets done very soon and your shutters put back on. Hugs!

Andie said...
