Can't believe....

...it's been more than a couple of months since my last update here. How time flies by... Thought was only a month but was quite shocked when i open my blog that it has been two months away! Probably because i haven't done much stitching lately. Working long hours, these last weeks around 10hours and sometimes 12hours. Weather has been good here so been pretty busy and sometimes chaotish at work.

 These two finishes has been completed more than a month and a couple small ones too but was for exchanges, have to wait for posting pics as i am not sure if the recipients visits my blog. 
This design is of Plum Street Samplers. Love it and hope to finish it off into a flatfold one day...












Early this week on my day-off, has been sunny but too windy for a walk along the dike so we drove off
to the woods for a walk and got lost so instead of an hour it took us about a couple of hours to get back to the car... Haven't been there in years. When the children were small we usually go there for walks, that has been 8 years ago!

After a long day at work, out with friends/colleagues and family for a drinks. Ended up usually late while i have to start early the next morning but it's worth it..
 
Since i prefer to read after work days instead of stitching i ordered some books from bol.com...i have six here on the picture but actually i had 7. Noticed it when i went to throw the box the next morning and one came out of it. I didn't realise i ordered lot in one time...

  
We're off tomorrow for a couple of days with Chris and one of his friends to one of the indoor parks at the mainland, hope to unwind and relax and sure take a couple of the books.

Do hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Start with a finish...

Actually completed a while back but the piece had been hidden in between the other designs piled up in a drawer...yeah, my stitching items aren't organize for sometime now. Do really need to work on it but waiting for a longer off days at work and all the activities here of the kids. Grace finals exam ended today! Results will be announce the third week of June. So it'll be a while before they know/hear if they go to university or stay for another year.
 
With the spill of the wine...luckily, i manage to remove...almost, a very light one can be noticed when you know which side otherwise can't really recognize it. So i work on it a bit...Now, i received a few books i've ordered last week and i think will be spending time reading instead of stitching for a few nights or especially after work.
  
 Just want to share a picture of my blooming orchids! The dark one on the left, been blooming for nearly two years now. See the leaves, looks healthy and green! 

Thank you all so much for visiting and taking the time to leave me a comment. I really appreciate it. Hope everyone have a good start of the week.

PC been repaired & i started...

...a few new projects. The ones last April still need to be finish but i was in the mood to start new ones for this month. Just hope my mojo contineous. It will gonna be busy coming days though due to "Pentecost weekend", if weather's good lots will be spending long weekend here on the island. Might be working 5 long days in a row....

 

Hope to post a couple of finishes soon.

 PS. ..had an accident with my glas of wine, just washed it..i don' t know if i will continue working on it or start a new one. It means though i have to order extra green en dark red ones threads, i think both GAST. Not happy here...
 

Our PC is out of order...

....for the last two weeks and i'm afraid till the end
of this month when hubby gets home.
Haven't visited blogs and Yahoo groups
since the PC out as well as Stitching haven't
been touch too.
Again too Busy at work, after the kids and
in between socially!😊

Hope everyone's having a good Spring!
Here's still cold and too windy!

@ Friendly Stitcher's exchange

These had been sent and received for quite a while now
but haven't had the time to update or post on here.
Had chosen a LHN design and finished it off
into a mattress pincushion. Glad to hear Chris like it.

                                        Here is what i received back from Chris. I so love what

she've chosen and very neatly finished.

As usual too busy socially and some i haven't have pictures

taken from gatherings we've been too. 

Chris band had performed a couple of weeks ago

at one of the event which mainly for adults but

they try to invite young ones too and let them 

performed earlier for the youth. Do hope the video

works (below the picture).

Hubby was sick when i attended one of the birthday

parties so he wasn't able to joined us. He had a nasty

flu that lasted more than a week so he had missed

out on a few occasions even the performance

of the kids above he wasn't able to go and watch.

By the way, about Grace with her test for the Pilot study,

she didn't make it at the last test. Now, she'll have to

re-organize what she'll going to follow after this school

year. Quite a difficult decision for her...anyway, exams

ahead for them so they'll have to concentrate on that first.

Many many thanks for visiting and all the kind comments. I really appreciate them all.

March update...

(All pictures can be click to enlarge)

Gonna try and work on these designs, the LHN was started last month
but wasn't able to finish it off. The Orchids serie has been a w.i.p's
for a couple of year now, just found it and hope to work further on it.
The others were quite small so i am sure will complete them for this month.

I was the lucky winner by Lisa's  giveaway last january.
Really love the bird ornament enclosed. Very
neatly finsih! Thank you so much Lisa. I
LOVE them all!!

Took this picture of the baby lambs playing and running around during my walk with
a friend early this morning. Been a grey day after a couple of days sunshine. Pity,
wasn't able to go for walks the last days due to other commitments.

Spare parts for the car arrived so took it to the garage for repair. Was finished just
in time to bring Chris for his guitar lesson and for my Zumba class afterwards.
It feels good driving knowing the car's fine. Will be for test tomorrow as we're
going to pick up our daughter from where i had left her last sunday. Her father
got home last night so we will be going together. Kind of curious, so far she
stayed till the last day which is thursday...because there is a chance she will be asked to go home the last days if she didn't passed the test each day that were planned for.

Many many thanks for your continued visits and for taking the time to leave me a
comment. I truly appreciate them all.

March finish!

I've a couple of finishes but can only post one as the other one is for an exchange
and i don't know if she is checking my blog, would rather as a surprise.
Hopefully, i can finsih these serie each month...

I have a few projects for these month but haven't took a pic yet,
too dark now for taking pictures and if i wait for it i don't know
if i have time to post again coming days. I took these one earlier.

I had a scary moment with our car this afternoon at the mainland, bringing
our daughter to the city, half way where she goes for the school for further
test for the pilot study. I cannot drive her all the way as it will take me 3-4
hours there and 3-4 back. i am not use to that kind of long driving so i had
to bring her half way that she can get the train straight to the school campus
which is better. But along the way, after nearly an hour from the ferry the car started
to have troubled so i got panicked as it is a highway and everyone droves very
fast(130km/hour). And the car slows down...glad we were able to reach the parking
area at the train station and from there i called the car services, lucky we are a
member of it and one came for help after half an hour. Glad wasn't that really serious
and i could drive back home but have to do it slowly.  Have defect of the throttle
position Sensor, so  have to bring to the garage soon.

Thanks so much for your continued visits and all the lovely comments.
I so deeply appreciate them all!
