I stitched another birdie up early this morning did the finishing on him when I got home this afternoon :) This time I used a small bucket/pail for the base of the pincushion :) I painted the bucket black as it was a VERY shiny white. TOO cute and TOO fun!!!! I have one of my readers in mind to send this one to :)

Exchange from Yana and gift for a friend. PDF Print E-mail

Happiness is cross stitching 2010-05-01:

Link: Exchange from Yana and gift for a friend.
Hello everyone, I have a number of pictures to show you, the first is the lovely exchange that Yana sent me from Russia. I received this a couple of weeks ago but I did not post a picture because I thought I could post pictures of the exchange I sent to Yana at the same time.We sent them on the same day and it is now five weeks since I sent my exchange and she still has not received it yet, to say I am really worried is an understatement! I would be so upset if she did not receive it, I put a lot of work into the exchange and I made quite a few pieces. 
Has anyone sent anything to Russia lately and it has taken a couple of months to get there? If so please could you let me know, at least it would make me feel better!   
I have started to make the exchange again, just in case it does not get there, but it is pretty annoying to have to do that. 

I have also made another blue box similar to the one I made for Gladys in a recent exchange, although this one has a slightly different design, it is a birthday gift for a friend. It is very similar to what I have stitched before, but my friend likes blue and I did not have any other blue fabric.      


Here is a close up of the gorgeous biscornu that Yana made, it is just beautiful!
        
The stitching is perfect!
Including the beautiful needlebook and the scissor fob.
The reverse side 
I just love these little dolls that fit inside each other!

Thankyou Yana for a lovely exchange, you are so talented! 

I hope you get your exchange soon. 

Happy Birthday Diane, I hope you have a good one!

Welcome to all of my new followers, I really appreciate all of your visits and comments.

Happy Stitching!

Link: This was just one of those FUN designs!!!!
I finished the stitching on Botanical Sewing Pocket last night. I didn't stitch the fob as I am not big on fobs and I have quite a few if I need one :) This was a fun stitch. The linen is not your normal Gingham linen-this one is a much different weave and was a bit different to stitch on-you have to be careful stitching on it or you will distort the linen. I *hope* to do the finishing soon.

See I think internet censorship is silly, rather pointless, and inevitably ineffective. I would even go so far as to say that it is a policy equivalent of fucking for virginity. Our political leaders are supposed to introduce policies that REDUCE the problems in the most cost effective way. Not flick rubber bands at [...] Related posts:

I'm wicked? PDF Print E-mail

Hi Stitchers!

I have a few things to show. You know that I belong to the Hallosal, a board where everything autumn and Halloween is very welcome.
I forgot to show my last months' contributions:

This is a freebie by Stitches'n Stones that I found there. I used my own mixture of threads. There was an accident with the overdyed threads when I ironed the k. Anyway, adds some charm to the design. Lol!


Here is a design by Prairie Schooler from the first JCS special Halloween. I simplified the design a little, leaving out the border and leaves.


Here's a little bit of spring too. The last Prairie Schooler Seasons from TGOS. Project started last summer...  They're all done now. In a drawer, with almost all the rest of my stitching. Lol!



That's it for now. A couple of other things are finished and almost on their way to their recipients. Then I'll be able to show pictures. I'm waiting for the volcano's ash cloud to calm down as a lot of things seem to get lost or at least delayed at the moment...

The third and last term of school has begun and Daphné is doing OK. My teenage kiddo is worrying me because he is showing signs of depression. I find it hard to get help from the doctors. They seem to think this is not too preoccupying but as a mum, it's hard to see your child suffer and be so useless. And where is the border between the teenager's common sadness and the pathology?

I don't think I have the tools to be a good mother, being myself often depressed and phobic. I have doubts. I am a mountain of doubts.

Lili
