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 :)

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.

Thanksgiving dinner

We walked over to friends (1 hour walk per way) and had the most yummieh Thanksgiving dinner. It was so good I could eat that every day. We started with a very tasty pumpkin soup and then we had this:


I can't tell you how boring it is to stitch the black skirt.... I'm pretty sure it will take me a while.

So I put a very few stitches in JD's Take Time to Quilt - Spring yesterday evening.

It is the first time that I stitched the outline of something first and now just have to fill in the skirt with black. I'm a little bit afraid that you can see it later....
On my pictures the colours are so fading and it looks so shining throught. To give you an idea, I am stitching on Summer Khaki Edinburgh from Zweigart. I really don't know why it is so pale.

The weather is rainy and stormy just like a typical autumn day in Germany and it leaves me with a blue feeling....I am very happy that days like these are very rare in Manitoba. Hopefully the sun will be back tomorrow. Just in time for the Canadian Thanksgiving. We are going to have a wonderful turkey dinner with friends tomorrow at noon. :) Yummieh....

I don't have big progress on There Was an Old Woman to share as I stitched very little this week. One of the highlights was Lisa's swimming class on thursday. It is so much fun to be in the water with her. She enjoys it so much she can't stop smiling and giggling. :)


And guess what.......yes, of course, I got weak and bought this lovely "small" winter scene by HAED....my first and hopefully last weak moment. I got really scared when my printer went on printing and printing pages and pages of instructions and chart....and when I put it all together on the floor I had to laugh out loud!!!! 24 pages alone for the chart LOL. I know someone who will never ever make it through stitching all 24 pages. But hey, I can at least stitch a few stitches ;) A little bit crazy is cute.....but what the heck am I??????? LOL Verena, you were right. There are 90 colours in this design. You are one of the few people I know that are really able to stitch such an unbeleivable big project. You should give it a try one day.

Halloweeeeeeen :)

I mailed out Carol's Hello Neighbor RR right after work...just as promised yesterday :) Hopefully it doesn't take as long as usual because I put it in a smaller envelope as usual and they could send it out as a small package.

I placed a few pumpkins on that ol' ladies shoe ;)

Here's an update on Carol's RR as of yesterday late afternoon. I didn't do a lot of stitching in the evening because I felt reallz bad. I'm having a cold since monday but it got worse yesterday evening. When I woke up this morning I had a fever so I called my boss and took a sickday. I slept a lot but I also stitched a little bit.


And this is my start on There was an old woman by Prairie Moon. I had an eye on this design for a long time and when it was on sale at needlecraft-corner a few weeks ago I finally ordered it :)

I've just stitched the borders of Take time to Quilt - Spring by Jeannette Douglas. So the fun part starts now....
