Let's talk about stitching

 I love HAED! Two years ago I was browsing all charts and I have found Fruity Bunch. Each time I looked at it it made me smile

I even found a place to hang it when I'm done stitching. This was my progress until I picked it again just this month.

I started working on the left side and right now I'm here

I'm stitching this piece with tent stitch on 28 easy count with single floss. Since September 10th I have done 7,600 stitches!

Goodbye summer. hello autumn

 This year, the Autumn Equinox  occurs on Monday, Sept. 22 at 11:19 AM PDT (18:19 UTC) and it brings roughly equal day and equal night to the entire planet. North of the equator, it's been summer, with more daylight than darkness, so September's equinox marks the first day of fall; south of the equator, it's been winter, with more darkness than daylight, so the equinox brings spring.

Do you love fall? What are your best things about fall?

Mine are:

1. Colours. I adore autumn colours, love when leaves are turning red, brown, yellow...

2. Rain. I know, I'm a little weird but I love rain.

3. Hiking. It's awesome to walk trails in the fall with all the colours around.

4. Food!

5. Cozy fireplace and a glass of red in the evenings.

6. Thanksgiving and more food...

7. Autumn decorations around the house (in and out)

8. Making jams and pickles.

9. Visiting farm markets.

10. Halloween!!!

 

 

Is anyone still here?

 

 OMG, years went by since I was blogging... do I still remember how to do it? This is a test :) 
Couple days ago I was sorting my craft room and I found a lovely Irish Blessing Sampler (I will call it IBS for short) that I started sometime in 2012 and haven't look at it for 13 years 6 months and 15 days... I was planning to finish it for St Paddy's Day in 2013 but didn't make it... I hope I will finish it in time for 2026.
I looked on my old WIPs and I have noticed that I managed to finish some but some are still work in progress and some are just plain UFOs (unfinished objects).
Here is my post from time when I stopped stitching IBS.

Below are latest pics of start and finish

I need a plumber and it's a long weekend...

It's hard to admit but I'd fail miserably with my faucet replacement project. Now valves are leaking all over the house  and my new kitchen faucet is still in the box. I should listen to Freddy and never touch that darn thing. Now I'm trying to find a plumber...

So long my friends,

Hello Saturday, hello long weekend!

I don't know why but I'm very cheerful this morning. I guess because of the extra day off. I'm back to corporate world again, giving up my freedom on one hand and gaining extra cash on the other. I guess isn't time for retirement for me yet.

I have a lot on my 'to do' list today. Number one is to replace kitchen faucet. It started to leak a while ago, Freddy did nothing... then couple days ago he was standing in a paddle of water on the kitchen floor. Two days went buy and my man did not even call the plumber... Since my man refuses to do any repair jobs in the house (I guess he was a woman in his previous life 'cause he is great in the kitchen), I decided today is the day for me to look after. Yesterday I watched a few videos on YouTube how to replace the faucet and it doesn't look too difficult at all. Guys were saying that it should take about an hour and new faucet is around a hundred bucks. Will see when I'm done.

As promise here is my update on the Pumpkin Man. I also have a SAL Facebook group where a few of us are working on same project: Jack O Man SAL

Wish me luck and I will keep you posted!

So long my friends,
Evalina
