It was really a quick one so i decided to stitch another and finish it off into a scissor fob. Isn't it cute!! This SAL can be seen at Sylvia's blog. Thanks so much, Sylvia!
Thought to offer it for anyone who hasn't a fob yet. If there's more than one who will sign in then i have to make a draw. The name will be pick out on my next post...which will be later this week or before the weekend.
It's the end of the month so i can show my 2nd update on the "Pioen Rose" Alphabet i am doing with Tinna. What a day it was yesterday! After sleeping in the last days as the kids are on school break, we had to get up early yesterday(saturday) for Chris football game. Finally, after a couple of months that games were cancelled every saturday due to the bad weather, they were allowed to use the field although not all the group as one area or actually on another village was too wet.
Anyway, after the game when everyone's going back to their respective car, our friend saw i have a flat tire. I just look at it, stunned...and don't know what to do, my minds racing i need to call the garage as i definitely don't know how to change a tire. But our friend said he will fix it but he has to go home and change as well as a few equipments he needed for it as it's park on a wet grass. So, off we went to their place and from their i called one of hubby's best mate if he has the time to help out and he came. So between the two of them they've change the tire and went to the garage to let it fix and then back again as the reserve tire isn't a good one.
Whew! Sure i am very very grateful of our friends here as well as you all in blogland for all your friendly and encouraging comments for these past days!
Hubby just called earlier tonight, they are still at sea and no news when they are going back to the harbour. Hopefully though before the weekend...but we just have to wait.
Chris isn't well when we finally got home after dinner last night, probably from the cold as it was quite windy and rainy a bit during their game. After he vomitted before midnight, that's the time he feels better and able to sleep well. We were able to sleep in and then i had to go out this afternoon to one of our friends who had helped yesterday.
That is why i haven't answered any mails yet or visited blogs and groups. I hope to catch up tomorrow. Can't stay late now as school begins tomorrow...Thanks so much for stopping by and hope everyone's having a wonderful weekend!

Mylene, your progress on the SAL and the little fob are both great! I saw this pattern yesterday at Sylvia´s and was very tempted to stitch it :)
Also, I am happy that you have people around who you can count on in such situations. It is really important. Here I do not know anybody yet :( but would like to meet/know more people.
I hope Chris is better now and that you do not need to wait too much longer to be all together.
I wish you a nice week!

What a lovely sweet design!
Great progress on your stitching! Sorry to hear your son is under the weather hopefully it passes quickly. Lucky you have to good friends to help you out when you need it! Your weekend sounded like a busy one. At times it helps to be busy it takes your mind away from what is on your mind at the moment. Hopefully your husband will be heading home this week!
You are such a quick stitcher, Mylene--and each piece is so nicely finished! I love the SAL you are doing--so sweet. And your Pioen Rose Alphabet is so pretty, too.
Hope your husband gets home very, very soon!
As lovely as the fob is, I'm going to have to pass the draw, as I do already have fobs (although not all my scissors have fobs yet ;-).
Your SAL piece is very lovely, too!
Your SAL piece is so pretty, Mylene, and I love how you've also stitched it and mdae it into a fob.
I hope Chris is better soon.
The fob is gorgeous!!!! Your alphabet SAL is looking great. Keep up the great stitching. Hopefully Chris feels better soon. Praying that DH gets home soon.

hope Chris is feeling better now.
Oh, can you count me in for the fob please - it is so pretty!
Hope Chris will feeling better soon. As always I like your stitching so this little fob too. Love klavertje vier so please enter me in your drawing.
Both of your SALs are lovely. But I really love the cheery red bird in the first one. :) I also LOVE the fob you made and would love to be included in a giveaway.
I do hope that Chris is better today. And that DH is home soon.

The SAL looks great Mylene. Thanks for stopping by in spite of having a busy/tense time out there.
I know silly me, but i do not have a scissor fob yet. So, pls pls add me to your draw.
Take care

What a beautiful fob! I would love it if you would enter me into your drawing as I don't have a fob yet. I really enjoy reading your blog and am envious of your finishing skills, especially the ornaments with the beads around the edge. I used to stich years ago and recently started again and am amazed at how things have changed. Hopefully I can get some things completely finished soon. Hang in there---sounds like you are having quite a time of things. It will get better soon. Take care of yourself and don't let these things get you down.
The SAL and the alphabet are quite pretty. Happy your friends were able to fix your flat. I hate car trouble!!
