Look!

Because a lot of people stopped by the other day, I thought you all deserve a little treat: a whole picture of my Lanarte !!! Aren't you lucky?

And a closer look at the white rose bush:

Still a lot to do: finish the rose bush, add more bricks to my wall, finish the ground close to the green boots, finish the roof (because when some part got boring I skipped it but if I want to see this piece finish one day, I will have to stitch it anyway .... right? )


We got a busy day today: homeschooling at my friend's house (we work especially on math problems and I think the 3 girls are going to hate me at the end of the 2 weeks ) and in the afternnoon, shopping for school supplies: look at my ticker: back to school is ( too) close ... Steb got a brand new backpack !!!! Can't believe I just bought a school backpack for my baby ... Now I have to sort out all the supplies . I still need to buy some stuffs for Pierre as some teachers want a notebook with 120 pages, others want one with 190 pages ( I, I think they just want to drive the parents crazy )

I love looking at your progress pics so much, especially now that my stitching desire has returned.

I thank you so much for your regualar posts, as much as I don't take the time to post to each one - sorry. You've been instrumental in bringing me back to my love of stitching. I see you progress pics and I just want to work on my own pieces. Soon. Very soon.

Your Lanarte is really beautiful Chiloe.

I am surprised you have to buy the school books yourself and I had to raise my eyebrows when I read they even wanted a particular amount of pages, and each one different. That seems a bit much to me.

Wow, Chiloe it's very very lovely. Had you not said still a lot to do, I would have thought it's finished already. Can't wait to see more. You are doing great.

Good luck with the home schooling. I hated math.

Your stitching is progressing really well. Looks amazing.

Wow, that's looking great. It reminds me of the cards painting the white roses red in Alice in Wonderland.

I enjoy your blog. Back in May, when you were writing about your landlord, it was painfully funny. I could relate to the frustration, but it was kind of a Lucy Ricardo thing.

I totally adore this project of yours. I can't believe there is still more to do, it looks finished to me. But hey, anything to keep you happy LOL.
