Due to my lack of blogging I never showed you my last finish in 2008. It was A Christmas Song by Full Circle Designs offered in the Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments 2008 magazin. I finished it into my first flatfold ever. Thanks so much to Vonna who provided the tutorial. ;) I stitched it for a Christmas exchange with my German Yahoo group. I am pretty sure this will be the first design that I will stitch a second time....for me :)



Yesterday I put a few more stitches in Home is Where You Hang Your Needlework. I started that Febuary 02,2009. Does this mean I started 3 new projects in February?!?!?



stitched on: Home is Where You... and Deb's Hello Neighbor RR

Just in time on Helloween I finished stitching my Helloween piece. It was actually fun stitching Helloween night on this piece. Some kind of scary ;)

There was an old Woman

by Prairie Moon

startet mid of Sept.

finished Oct 31/08

stitched with DMC, WDW and GAST

My little witch felt very bad after daycare she even fell asleep in the car on the way home...so the poor little thing went for trick or treating just to two houses in the neighbourhood before she wanted to go home.

My house on Carol's RR is finished!

My house for Carol is finished and the envelope will be mailed out to Karen tomorrow. Just one house left to be stitched and then the RR can go back home to Carol....

We spent most of the morning outside to "cleaning" the yard from fallen leaves....but we will have to spend some more hours there during the coming week. We didn't have enough bags for all the leaves...but Lisa loves all the bags so far :)

And now, that we already have a few raindrops coming down and the wind blowing around the house I will put some stitches in my Prairie Moon WIP There was an old woman....while waiting for my traditional German Gulaschsuppe that is cooking on the oven with very unusual (for Germany) Bison meat cubes... yummmieeeh

I stitched House on Booberry Lane by Brightneedle on Marie's RR. I was a bit disappointed because the colours turned out so much lighter than on the cover of the pattern. But I hope it will fit good into the RR. It was finished on June 11 and I had a lot of fun stitching this design.

Winter Holiday finished!

I finished Winter Holiday about April 27. I enjoyed stitching this colourful snowman so much. It was a real pleasure. But I still have to decide if I will frame it or finish it as a flatfold.....There's a lot of time to think about that till the next snow ;)

I finished Leslie's RR on May 19 and mailed it out to Karen in Australia. I stitched Prairie Schoolers Rain, Rain go away......just without rain :) Here's a picture:

and one of the whole RR:

I really like how it turned out.

I'm back again. :-) Life was quite a bit busy during the last weeks....
There wasn't a lot time for stitching. But I finished the Heart Treat Bag by Shepherds Bush and sent it to my friend Manuela.
And she had the wonderful idea of letting her friends each stitch a heart for her Carriage House Samplings Friendship Sampler.

It's finished :-)

I really wanted to finish it yesterday evening but at 1 am I was so tired.....So I stitched the last leaves of the tree while having my saturday morning cup of coffee in bed :)

I had a day off today and spend some time stitching.....and finished Garden Pleasures. LHN designs are always so much fun to stitch and I'm tempted to start another one of their designs that I have already kitted up. :-)

Finished: Jan 14/08

We went tobogganing at Sprucewood National Park on New Years Day. And we had a lot of fun :) After driving home to Brandon in the late afternoon we had an early dinner at the Chinese Buffet.....yummieh.

I got a wonderful gift from Dane in an secret exchange. She even stitched a lovely Flatfold for me, though it wasn't necessary to send something crafted with it. It is my first flatfold ever and I LOVE it so much! Thank you so much Dane! Here are all the goodies she sent:


Finally I finished stitching Wendy's Hello Neighbor RR. I haven't had a lot of stitching time in the beginning but I really liked stitching on this one. I mixed parts of designs from Rosewood Manor, Little House Needleworks and Ewe & Eye & Friends. That's what took most of my time. Looking for things that work together.


Hopefully Wendy likes how it turned out....


When I came back home from work a nice little package from Stitching Bits and Bobs was waiting in the mail for me :)


I'm so looking forward to go to Winnipeg tomorrow....and visiting Sheena's Gallery wich is supposed to be the biggest crossstich shop in Manitoba....wooohhoooo
