I've just heard the rest of the PIF's are all been received. So here's a picture of them together. Wonder why all the same finishing?? As i can remember when i posted my message about the PIF's, Dannielle was the first who signed up and asked for a needlecase and then Elaine
followed with the same so i thought why not make all into a scissor case but then different patterns.
I know i have the whole year to fulfill this obligation but since we were closed at work last January and starting March will be busy till after the summer. I took my chance to complete them all. Honestly, i am not that confident with the needlecase finishing as i've only done one before that. So glad to hear, Lillie, Wanda,Elaine and Dannielle likes it. Dannielle, if you happen to read this i didn't add your blog as it's not working or do you have a new one elsewhere?The scissor fobs started to reach their destinations, just heard from Carol R, & Chris that they got theirs, hope the rest will be receive soon.Thanks so much for all the best wishes for Chris, he's much better now, also the coughing is getting better. He's back to eating normal again and he's looking forward to the football match this coming saturday which we thought there won't be football game as it's vacation and most where away. We were supposed to meet a friend at the mainland this saturday morning and then to a museum but with the game we have some reorganiztion with the outing but sure we are going as we haven't seen this friend for a while.
There are 7 out of 10 who had left comments with my last post who wanted to join the draw for the fobs. Now, i find it difficult to make a draw to send these fob out....i made a decision to make three more, but these four will be send out immediately to the first who had commented to join in the draw: Dawn, Judy, Chris & Deanne. For the next 3 will be send out later.
I have Dawn's address, could the others send me your snail mail address to: mboekel@yahoo.com.
Thanks so much for all the kind comments.
Karan, i like and enjoy making things so i have to learned to part things out or else they'll just be in boxes around here. Though honestly i still have with regards to my card making, i have one box full of what i've made which i can't part with and now that i stopped making them these will stay as my remembrance.
Shari, i've been off work or rather we were closed last month and just opened up beginning of february, it is not that busy yet so i am taking my chance and doing some stitching, might not be for long anymore as easter is coming soon. Quite early this year and if weather stays good, i'll be busy outside even if i am not a gardener i have to tend the small garden we have!
An update of LHN "Stitcher Prayers"! And again the last for a while as i don't have the DMC 3866 and i also run out of the green ones too.
I've finished stitching my february christmas ornament but not sure yet how to finish it off. The woodland snowfall from JCS 2004. Used DMC colours on 32ct light blue linnen.
Taken a couple of pictures of Chris football game this morning. It was such a sunny day today so i took my camera with me, ussually it was dark just like last weekend,
it was on and off rain so we had expected it would be cancelled. They had played and won the game. Afterwards, we heard that they were the only one who hasn't cancelled the game the rest of the competitions of other groups for that saturday has been cancelled.
They didn't won the game today though..3-2 but they played good and done their best.
After the game and had a cup of coffee, one of the mother's whom i ussually goes out for a walk once a week asked if i will walk back home instead. The fathers took the kids home and we've walked which took us one and a half hour, not much but it was midday and the others back home needed lunch. DH wanted to go out as well for a walk so after lunch we took off for an hour as we expected visitors who has called this morning if we are home in the afternoon so we said yes at around 3:30pm. We were late of 5 minutes but the door is open as the kids are playing football at the playground nearby, our visitors were already sitting in our living room when we came in. They are our nearby neighbours so we know each other quite well.
Yesterday was a sunny day too, but the morning was started by a family member who came by and had a cup of coffee, after lunch we took off to get some groceries and thought to go out for a walk when we get back but coming back home, a friend came by for a chat so the day's over and haven't done much at all.
Anyway, hope everyone are having a great weekend!
I am happy to hear it has finally arrived! It nearly took three weeks to Florida from Holland, so i was really worried i thought it was lost. So glad i was able to send it out long before the due date or else my partner wouldn't be happy waiting for it.
Glad to hear Hannah like the scissor fob i made. I've seen most LHN designs on her wishlist so thought she would like this design which is part of the LHN 'Stitchers prayer'.
I only have this picture, i forgot to take more before sending the little package so you can have a look on the blog group Hooked on Exchanging
for a couple more.
Not much to share on the stitching front though i did work on some different projects but it's not enough to show an update. The problem is whenever i encounter that i miss one thread needed for a certain project i just set aside and pick another project, that is why i have lots on the go. Atleast most are all smalls.
Here's my progress with these two hardanger, the cuttings were done and glad it went well without a mistake. Honestly, i've encountered cutting the wrong thread before and it was quite a big piece but can't be repaired so i am a bit nervous when cutting the fabric.
Thanks so much for stopping by and all the nice comments.
