Did it !

As you can see, I finished Eeyore last night (I stitched until 1.15 am - crasy me :)) I even did one letter and started letter D . Oh, I also added the flower on the right. Letters always take forever. So I just think progress are going to be slow now but I still have two days of vacations before my kids vacations start !!! Let's take advantage ;)

Need a some backstitch .

Here it is: finished for the full cross stitches. I only need to do the back stitch under Eeyore's tummy and that will be all !!! :) I even did the half cross stitches under. It needs a little flower on the right and voila !!! But if I finished Eeyore that means I now need to stitch the letters above my two little guys. And as you know : for me it's pretty boring.

this afternoon I went shopping with my mom and tomorrow, I'll show you what I got !

For Heidi

Hello,

YOu can find the kit here : http://www.canevas.com/WD100AWP/WD100Awp.exe/CONNECT/WebMC

And you are lucky: it's on sale. It costs 22.50 Euros when me I pay in a store: 34 Euros. You can order through that store because it is very serious and they send the kits as soon as they get the money. If you want to order with them I can even help you with translation. They do ship in Germany (I checked before to give you the link) The kit is at the bottom of the page. I tried also to search the web for you and that's all I found. Hope it will be helpfull for you.

check this link : http://www.canevas.com/WEBMC_WEB/photosb/644317p.jpg I hope it will work better that the first link.

If not, just go to the left in "les broderies" then you get a menu on the top: you choose in "themes " : "personnages de BD then you chosse in collections : "Royal Paris." You should then get to the royal paris page !!!

If not, you also have this store: http://www.boutiquemodesettravaux.com/catalog/product_info.php4?products_id=6817 I never oredered with them.

Close to finish ....

Yes, I admit it : I did stitch this afternoon: no kids, no cleaning guilt (even though I shoud :)) ) I do want to finish this kit fast as I'd like to stitch something else. I saw some nice kits on www.colray-crafts.com I don't know if the site is serious. If someone has already ordered with them, let me know!!! I saw a nice kit from Bucilla and to make temptation worst: the kit has evenweave fabric ! I hate aida and I won't have to change the fabric !!! Great!

Well, as you can see, Eeyore is almost finished. I hope to finish tonight.

Esteban and his brother's shoes

Here is Esteban happy to wear his brother's slippers! Isn't he a cutie? He's 22 months old.

Full view

For the first time , you can see the lower view of my cross stitch. I was not yet able to take a good picture of all I stitched until now. I hope you will be happy to see that picture!!!Later on I'll post the WIP of today...

Almost finished?

This morning I went to visit my friend Carole with Esteban. Then we left and went to pick up the kids at school at 11.45 and we took off to Mc Donalds. The kids loved the surprise! The toy was really weird: a kind of robot making a strange noise ... What Mc Donalds keep producing toys that will end up to the trash ...

As you can see I took advantage of the afternoon to stitch !!! YEAH ! Do you like the work in progress? I do :) More to see tomorrow ...

My counter ...

My counter changed without me doing anything ... I lost all the count about the visitors who came to the blog. Now I have the recent visitors only with their cities. That's really weird... If someone knows what happened, drop me a line !!! Thanks!

New pic

Here is my new progress on my eyeore. Isn't it cute? I really like the fact that all the design is realistic looking.

I also got new stash today. I am going to try to put a picture under this text. Let's try !!!

Waow that's not that easy to get the picture where we want on blogger... Anyway. I don't know if I'll keep that kit or sell it later on. I got it for a cheap price on ebay.

Guilt free day !

Here am I with my stitching pregress. I stitched this afternoon until it was time to pick up the kids at school. They also called to start a new school, after the vacation, in febuary 26 th. First grade again in hte same school I just left. My co worker is going to have surgery and have to rest for two weeks. So I can enjoy three weeks of vacation and stitch as much as I want. Nothing to prepare for school. I'll go to meet friends I don't have time to see ohterwise.

For those who wonder what kit I am stitching; it is "Winnie and Lumpy" from Royal Paris.

I love having my neo counter on the right. It shows where people come from to visit the blog. People from China came to read my blog. Do they stitch in China? Probably ... That would be nice if people will leave a message .

I am going to go back to stitch while watching CSI New York.

Slow, slow ...

I didn't do much today. Actually I didin't feel at all. Not working is not for me ... I thought I'll have a nice day but not at all. I barely stitched as you can see. I hope tomorrow will be a better day...

I decided to subscribe to the world of cross stitching and to the cross stitcher. I used to have a subscription to both of these magazines. I read San blog (http://angelsan.free.fr/blog/) and it's too much temptation to read the magazines review each month. :) I'll ask my friend Carole to subscribe for me in england to the Cross Stitcher as it is very expensive to have it ship to me in France. The World of Cross Stitching is cheaper.

Roo is done

Here you can see Roo with all the backstitching done. Isn't he cute and realistic looking? I will finish the half stitches later on.

I don't have a school for tomorrow but I don't think I will accept any job as my day care will be on strike on thrusday ( eh, this is France ....) and my mom can not take care of Esteban that day. Anyway, I have a lot of cleaning to do :( But I could stitch in the afternoon. YEAH !!!

And it is ...

ROO !!! It could have been Kanga but it is Roo who is a happy fellow on the picture. I did not finish it last night but it is almost done!!! Once again, the backstitch makes all the difference. I still need to do the eyes and the the legs.

Today, we went to the sales. We got for my husband: 5 pants, 3 long sleeves tee shirts and a fleece jacket for 55 euros (or about 50 $) Not too bad !!! I love those 75% off sales. Who won't? :)

Whose feet are those?

I let down the letters to go a little bit up to stitch one of Winnie's friend !!! I hope to finish it tonight (if I don't spend too much time on the internet tonight !!! )

A larger view

Here is a larger view of my letters with the left part of the design. I am ready for a more interesting move: Eyeore !!! Let's be honest: backstitching do make the difference in this design!

Today a little boy lost a tooth during class. H was playing with it so I asked him to put it in a tissue and put it on my desk. Then at the end of the class, I cleaned the desk and a little girl lost a tooth too. That's when I realized that the boy's tooth was on my desk and that I had trashed the tissue in the garbage ! Oops ... Fortunately, the garbage was clean. So I told the boy: here is your tooth for the tooth fairy. He answered: " But I know it's the parents who give stuff" I said: "please some don't know, keep quiet" and he said very loud " it is like Santa Claus, it's the parents !" ... Thanks god, most of the kids were going out of the classroom !!!
