<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A celebration of life! It was on a november 11 th that we got the devasted news that Pierre was sick with cancer. I will never forget that date and what I felt that day. He's now 18 years old and even though life still has some challenges for him, he's a heathly boy. </span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/happy/thumbsup.gif" /> If you want to read his story, you can read this blog post I wrote in 2008: <a href="http://chiloescorner.blogspot.fr/2008/11/story-of-boy.html" target="_blank">the story of a boy. </a> </b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I really enjoyed stitching my Santa and din't really know what to pick after that so after searching through my stash , I found another small design that got my attention: Christmas pudding by Anchor.

I always loved the name of her blog, maybe it's because I love pumpkins too. I have been following Cathey's blog for many years now, before she became the mom of a little cutie . We share the same love for cross stitch and I love what she stitches. Cathey is such a sweet lady ( I never told her but she's always been one of my favorite blogger. :) ) Telling that she's going through a tough time is an understatement: she's fighting for her life ... So today I'm joining many other bloggers in celebrating your blog dear Cathey. Hope you'll feel the love through our words. </span><span style="color: orange;">♥</span><span style="color: red;"> </span></span></b></span><br />

L<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">ong time no see but I'm still here, stitching in my little corner of the world. <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/basic/smile.gif" /> You may wonder what I stitched this year so here it is: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My first finish was Cheery Christmas Stotcking, an Ursula Michaels design ( you may recognize her colorful style). It was a kit by Janlynn but I changed the fabric for a lugana.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then I stitched a Lanarte ( with my huge Lanarte stash I better stitch one or two every year <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/basic/smile.gif" /></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> ) It's a Marjolien Bastin design ( she's still my favorite painter ) I didn't stitch all the background though. I was not very satisfied with my finish but it's a lovely design.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I stitched that cute Vera the mouse ( another Marjolein Bastin design ) on a beautiful Tutti Fruitti fabric by the old Silkweaver. The result is truly beautiful. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also stitched that cute mother and daughter Beatrix Potter designed by my favorite designer : Veronique Enginger. I stitched it for charity. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This year I totally fell in love with the latest release of the 2012 Lanarte collection. <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/romantic/heartbeat.gif" /> I had to stitch it. You know how it goes : you can't fight love !!! <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/basic/wink.gif" /> I really enjoyed stitching and to my surprise, the greens didn't bother me !!! ( Am I getting old ? <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/expressive/scratchchin.gif" /> )</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My last finish of the year was garden friend by Sue Hill ( kit by Heritage Stitchcraft) I changed the fabric to one in my stash : iris garden opalescent lugana ( old Silkweaver). I love those little birdie ( it's the second one I stitched ) but I hate the way Heritage Stitchcraft chart their designs ... <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/angry/banghead.gif" /> </span><br />

I haven't been here for a while as you may have noticed it or not. <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/basic/biggrin.gif" /> I wanted to, I swear. I thought I could become the daily blogger that I used to but I lost my mojo and still can't find it ... ANyway, I'm still a stitcher and still stitch almost daily. I still take my daily picture but am too lazy I guess, to upload the pictures daily. I lack discipline and have lots of ups and downs that keep me from being the one I usd to be ... </div>

You may remember that I am in an unwanted, totally bad stash diet <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/angry/thumbsdown.gif" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span">. That means I have to resist to the totally cute designs I see everywhere around me ( when I browse ONS) BUT one day, I was lost on Ebay ( no clue how I arrived there <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/expressive/scratchchin.gif" /> <img src="http://www.meg-a-pixel.net/megmoticons/whistle.gif" /> - my finger problably slipped or got out of control <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/surprised/yikes.gif" />) , I saw one of the kits I've ALWAYS loved <img src="http://www.meg-a-pixel.net/megmoticons/victory.gif" />. I'm sure you all have one or two kits that you say to yourself: one day, I'll get that one. Well, that day was finally here for me ( even though it was not the right moment - too close to Christmas to be reasonable ... ) The price was fine but I usually spend less on kits ( I like it around 10 whenever possible.) but like I said, I' ve always loved that design <img src="http://www.meg-a-pixel.net/megmoticons/victory.gif" /> . And I brainstormed with myself: you should buy it. <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/happy/thumbsup.gif" /> Nanh, you can wait. But it's too cute and I'VE ALWAYS LOVED IT !!!!!! <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/sad/melodramatic.gif" /> But it's more than you want to spend for a kit . <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/sad/jaded.gif" /> Okay, okay, get it ! <img src="http://www.meg-a-pixel.net/megmoticons/shrug.gif" /> Yes, I'm just a weak, weak , hopeless creature ... <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/sad/no.gif" /> sigh ... <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/sad/sigh.gif" /> I can't resist cuteness <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/sad/no.gif" /> , I can't ... <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/sad/worried.gif" /> Here is my new love <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/romantic/heartbeat.gif" /> :</span></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><b><a href="http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2962813000049743791wFabrS"><img src="http://inlinethumb30.webshots.com/16029/2962813000049743791S425x425Q85.jpg" alt="Friendship grows - Sunset" /></a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><b>Oh I can hear you!

It's a Sunset kit and that company belongs to ................... Dimensions and you know what it means : blended threads, half stitches ( for the <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/angry/censored.gif" /> artisitc effect ... ) .

Time flies and there are not enough hours in a day to do all I would like to do. One reason of my silence and my lack of blogging mojo is my sister in law Maria. If you are a regular reader, you may remember her: she had lost her strenght in her legs and nobody couldn't really tell what was happening to her ( or so we thought). Actually, her health kept deteriorating slowly and during the summer, she was also loosing the strenght in her arms. Then one day, we got the phone call that we feraed. Maria needed to be hospitalized. So she went to live with her sister in Guadalalajara and she was able to see our children with the webcam. Internet is really great for families like us who have relatives in different countries of the world. Suddendly, Maria's health got worse and sadly on august 30 th, she passed away. <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/sad/sorry.gif" /> That was a very sad time for our family and especially for Chuy as Maria took care of him when their mom passed away. She was a beautiful lady with a strong character. She dedicated her life to her father and she only outlived him for some months. <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/sad/worried.gif" /> We are missing her a lot, especially on sundays when we used to call her on the phone. I'm glad Emma was able to play the violin for her especially spring by Chopin. We learned after her death that she had a form of MS but that the doctors didn't want to tell the family because they were nothing they could do to save her and that she had only one year to live. That got me very angry because we would have done everything we could for Chuy to see her again. <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/angry/fiery.gif" /> I don't know what those doctors were thinking ... <img src="http://www.mazeguy.net/angry/duh.gif" /> </strong></span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000000;"></span><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">You also may wonder if I'm still a stitcher or just a stash buyer but I'm happy to let you know that I still stitch and actually, I did finish two pieces.

So I started it but it was so boring that I quit and decided the moon was soooooooo cute I couldn't just resist stitching some fun colors again. So here I am stitching the middle of the design now. Usually I like to follow an order so my stitching looks neat but not this time. I am trying to be a good girl <img src="http://www.meg-a-pixel.net/megmoticons/occhidolci.gif" /> though because I know it's going to back fire at me when I will only have some white / beige to stitch at the end ...
