I'm sorry for the one day delay but I found out about an Englisch class that takes place Mondays and Wednesdays. So I decided to go and check if they would accept me as a student....and they did. So I was there from 6 - 9PM. And when I came home I was simply too tired...and went straight to bed.

On Monday evening I will just stop by my english class because the Wheat City Needleart Guild meeting starts at seven....That is even more important than English lessons! A big smile to Marian D *wave*

Prairie Moon - There was an old woman Chart to give away

I want to give away the chart. I'm pretty sure that I won't stitch it again :)

So please leave a comment if you are interested in the Chart and I will send it to you. If there is more than one person interested I will let Random.org choose the recipient.


November 19 will be the closing date.



Thank you for participating :)

I finished Shakespeare's Champion yesterday evening. It was much more exciting than the "normal" cozy mystery. I enjoyed it very much. Hopefully I find the 3rd book in the series pretty soon.

Shakespeare's Champion (Lily Bard Mystery, Book 2)

I also put a few stitches into A Real Snow Job...but it will be long way till you actually can see a bit of the design....
