Wishing you all a "Happy Valentines Day"!


Saw this stitched on one of the blogs a couple of days ago and thought it will be good for a quick finish though i didn't expect it really so tiny. It is done within an hour!!

Thank you all so much for your continued visits on my blog especially to those who takes the time to leave me a comment. I truly appreciate them all.

Jane Austen...started it last year and just picke it up recently, made on and off some mistakes...still need more frogging as you can see on the picture..very frustrating so i try to start a few other designs...


...and here they are. I am way behind for the monthly gift for the Christmas SAL on one of the yahoo groups so started two at once, i need 4 ornaments to complete the year! Plus a sampler i so want to start last year.


A Picture of the beach nearby here our village. Isn't it a wonderful view. I'm afraid it will be over by tomorrow as they expected above zero temperature from now on.


As always...i LOVE Tulips and they are sold very early now at the shop. Sure looks like Spring INSIDE, while winter views OUT!!!


Many many THANKS for all the lovely comments, really appreciate them so much.
Have a good week to all!!

Time is moving way toooo fast!

Hello!! Wonder if anyone still knows me...been out of blogs and groups for a long while...away visiting family & friends last December till the first week of january. Back the 6th of January and had really difficulty getting back to normal routine especially when hubby left to sea after a week. He'll be away for six weeks this time so 3 more weeks and then he'll be home.

Honestly, have much spare time but my mind is not to it either reading/visiting blogs or stitching. Glad i am working a few days a week and that really keeps me busy as i do feel homesick!! If i am not working, been out for walks or just sits...daydreaming?!?

Did try and pick up my stitching on and off for the last days and happy i can show something. It's the last serie of the Seasons SAL from Novalee02 Les Croix(Carole).



Here's a couple(collage) of pics during our visit home. We were mainly at home for family especially for my parents as they are healthwise not been well. Much as we want to explore it will have for other times.



Snow...beautiful views but i'm not happy when i need to drive, not all roads were cleaned only the main ones. It sure slippery here in the village!


Hope everyone's having a good week. Thank you to those of you who left comments on my last post. I really appreciate it!!

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas...

...and a Happy New Year!!!

We are leaving early tomorrow for Asia, so we'll be spending the holidays with my family and friends at home!!
Kind of hectic lately, glad hubby was able to get home the other night after 8 weeks away from home. So sorry wasn't able to visit blogs and wouldn't be till we get back the first week of January.

These finishes were completed a long time ago, heard most were received except one. Actually, i had planned on making more for friends but haven't had much spare time lately, hope next year for the others. I do feel guilty....










Taken yesterday afternoon with some of Chris friends who came earlier for his b-day party.

Hope my new plants will stay good while we are away...

Went out to dinner last week with the kids.


Thank you all for visiting and the kind comments!!
