I was busy....

....doing the HAPPY DANCE! :) Friday later in the evening I finished Home is Where You Hang... This is exactly the right size for me. Not that big that I am getting tired of it and put it away and not too small. Unfortunately I am often drawn to the really big projects....
The colours are pretty good on the pictures except of the linen. In real live it is pretty close to Zweigart sand.

I am getting there...

...not too long any more and Home is Where You Hang Your Needlework will be done. I think I will go on stitching on it till the end now. I ordered a nice chart and the recommended Fil Atalie last week in an online shop in France. They sent it out the same day and I want to start it as soon as it shows up in my mailbox. So I better finish this soon :)
I took pictures with my camera this morning (of course no daylight) instead of scanning it but the colours are as bad as the ones on the scanner.... Hopefully I will be able to take a nice picture of the finished piece at the weekend with daylight....




My pictures are so bad. I love to see all the beautiful pictures on other blogs but I don't know how to take so nice pics. Perhaps I should take a photographing course....

While listening to the last 2 CD's of Janet Evanovichs Full Speed:
I stitched nearly the whole left side of Home is Where You Hang Your Needlework. It is coming along nicely....but the picture is aweful. Sorry.


If I stick to my plan I will have to stitch on Jeannette Douglas's Take Time to Quilt but right now I am not in a bit stitching mood. We will see....

Just a quick post...Lucky me, I am on my way out to attend our needlecraft guild meeting tonight. The last one two weeks ago was cancelled due to the weather situation. I stitched a little bit more on Home is Where....by Homespun Elegance yesterday.


I never took my needlework to work to stitch on it during my lunchbreak. Today I decided to give it a try. We are a usually a crowd of about 10-15 people having lunch together and so I had a lot of explaining to do...but I think they will get used to it pretty soon and for me it is an extra half an hour of stitching time every day after eating my lunch. :)
And as a lot of other non-stitching people some of them thought stitching is just something for ol'ladies....hey, I'm getting there..... LOL

I LOVE weekends :) Isn't it wonderful to spend some qualitiy time with the family, stitching stuff and internet at home? The only problem...it is always pretty expensive :) These tempting online stores are never closed LOL.

I spend some nice time with Home is Where You hang your needlework and I like very much how it turns out.


In real it is bot as dark as on the picture but the scanner doesn't want to make a lighter pic. Maybe the camera does once it will be finished.

On Yuko's wonderful blog I found a link to Dovile. She has a wonderful blog, too and does some awesome stitching....and she enabled me to buy some more STASH. :) Don't miss this one!

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
