Hi there



I've been a bad bad blogger lately ( ok, it's been months !!! ) I guess I had lost my mojo or lost myself somewhere in the World Wide Web ( aka Facebook ... ) I had up and downs. We also got a sad summer as we learned that one of our friend's ex killed their son one morning. She had her only child when she was 42 yo, he was like a miracle baby and the guy killed his son just to get back at her because he was mad she left him four years ago ...


On stitching news, I did finish friendship grows:


I decided to not stitch the saying and I can say it's one of my favorite piece so far. It's nice when you finally stitch a design that you've always loved.

Then I decided to dig in my Lanarte ( what else ) stash and stitch whatever would attract me ( no matter the size of the design - yes, sometimes I'm crazy like that !!! LOL ) So you wonder
what it is , don't you ? So without further ado:

Flower bouquet

Now, you understand why I call it my insane project !!! I've started it on march 15 th and I'm still working on it : of course, as it is 20"X30" ( or 50X60 cm). Here is one of the lastest picture but I'm a little more advance than that. ( I haven't uploaded all my pictures yet. )




I can't wait to finish to start something a little smaller but I can honestly say that I am not suffering too much stitching that one. I did suffer much more for my Fuchsias. And you saw all that green ( ), well, don't fall off your chair BUT this time it didn't bother me too much !!!! I know !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY !!!!!!!!!!

Wow, welcome back!

That's really sad about your friend's child. What a wacked out crack pot. I hope he rots in prison. Here in the U.S. childkillers don' survive prison...

Your stitching looks gorgeous as usual!

Veronica said...

I'm really sorry to hear about your friend's son. I still find it hard to believe what people can do to each other.

Love your finish and your new start. Both are gorgeous! All that green and you're not bothered?! Now, that's something! LOL!

Do take care!

Hugs,
Veronica.

So nice to read your blog. I love it. Your projects are beautiful. I can't even do what you do. :P LOL I would love to try someday. Those 'friends' are so nice to leave you comments after long missing from blogging. I miss my 'friends'. I posted one few weeks ago & didn't get comment. You're so lucky! Welcome back! I love small projects & working on couple but right now I'm struggling to find shop that sell chart/charms from Hinzeit because Hinzeit is not cooperating with shops. :( HUGS, Dawn

Welcome back!! Don't feel bad I haven't posted anything on my cross stitching page in months, mainly because I haven't stitched anything in months. The projects you've done/are doing are beautiful as always. And I'm sorry to hear about that child...why do children always have to be the victims in relationship squabbles? I hope he goes to jail for a very very very long time.
I'd like to pick your brain for a moment. For the first time, I'm attempting to create a stitch not from a kit. I basically have an idea of what I want to do and I'm making it my own. My question is, how do you know what materials to get (like what size aida cloth, etc)? Also, do you know of anyone or any place where I can get a cross stitch pattern of Sponge Bob? I want to do a stitch for my best friend's son's room and his loves Sponge Bob. I've googled it with very little luck.

Thanks in advance for your help and as always keep stitching.
