Easter ornaments & cards

 

First bunch of Easter ornaments and cards...almost all were sent out and most were already receive but a few still on the way though i sent them all at the same time. Post kind of slow in some countries.

Love how it all turned out especially the small ornaments, was a bit difficult to part with them. I just hope the receiver would like it.

The design were from an older issue of Cross Stitch Crazy, 2009. Design by: Lucie Heaton.

I am finishing a few more which will i hope to be sent out tomorrow, these were all nearby so i am sure it will be recieve in time for easter.

Happy week to all.

 A quick finish today....received the cross stitch magazine yesterday and after slaving in the kitchen this weekend i needed a simple design but lovely and mine ...

For lunch today came my son Chris with his girlfriend, aside from this puff pastry i prepared Mushroom soup but wasn't that tasty as i had expected...

Prepared this for dinner yesterday, only Chris came joined us. Like the vegetable gratin and the "beenham"'taste quite good but we had left over and had it for lunch today, i think it taste better than when it was warm last night.

Field of Daffodils

Hello...Good morning from a sunny island but strong winds and see now a dark clouds hanging, think gonna rain soon. When i posted earlier or the beginning of the year, i haven't seen any comments so i thought my blog isn't on air or available anymore and didn't get back to look further until i just ask a friend to place a comment and now i found out that there were all comments after my post earlier but all went to spam box. 

 To all who has left a comments..i am so sorry that i haven't sent back any notes. Thank you all and i really appreciate it. 

 Picture with the Daffodils fields were taken the other day. It was somewhere in the Northern part of the Netherlands.

Last glimpse of these beauties...till next christmas season. Just took them down from
the Christmas tree.

 

JoyfulworldSAL-April

The monthly SAL at Joyfulworld by Maja. Released around 9pm and glad we just got home from a party so i was able to start stitching and couldn't stop till i am done and that was around after 3am. Tried to sleep for a few hours and up at around 8am for kid to go to school. When he left i did the flatfold finishing and then was on time for me to go to work. I can say, i do love the results..though all in a hurry but good for my troubled mine and keep me busy... Happy Weekend to all!

February ornament...

Stitched a while but just had completed into an ornament last night. It is a freebie of "Sandy from Montana". Second time i stitched this design, last time was for a couple of years ago for gifts. I am trying to stitch freebie designs for my monthly SAL...just hope i can fulfill it each month. I am working on small designs for Easter as it is three weeks away from now...I'd like to make a couple of ornaments to give to friends so...we'll see if i can finish something soon. Kind of busy at work and lots of unexpected things lately...Hope i am strong enough to face whatever unforeseen changes soon... Thanks to all who stopped by and leave me lovely comments on my last post. Really appreciate them all.

March...JoyfulworldSAL..

...i was happy i am off today and had been patiently waiting for the released of the March block...It came out before 4pm so i gather the threads and start but had Zumba lesson after 5pm and couldn't miss it as i am gonna miss it next week being away for the week...anyway, back home after Zumba worked on the March SAL...unfortunately frogs keep visiting me and not just a couple of stitches, it was lots especially the whole upper border. Was late and wanted to give up but thinking i will be working these coming 5 days so i did pursue and finish it off. Weather lately hasn't been good but when it looks dry we try to go for a walk....oh well, quite good when we started this morning, half hour later it started raining so instead of having a cup of coffee at my place both friends went home as we were quite wet all over. While waiting for the chart, March SAL... i've made one of the Filipino dish, "Puto"..rice muffin cake. Oh so sweet and love it...too bad for my diet though... Haven't been to mass for a while and since i am off last sunday i joined my friends for the sunday mass and ended up at their place for lunch. Had a good catching up and so much fun. Love this Amaryllis, pale pink colour but looks so lovely and it stayed a while in the vase. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. Many thanks for stopping by and all the kind comments.
