Yesterday was my ex's birthday and I have a tradition of buying gifts and pampering myself on that day. (Life is good!!!) It wasn't a good relationship and I'm glad it ended. But, let's talk about my shopping. A while ago a fell in love with Guardian Angel by L.A. Williams (art work), design by Michelle from Heaven and Earth Designs.
And yesterday I made an executive decision and bought all the floss and fabric to go with this chart. I know I'm crazy but it's crazy challenge so this will be my Project 5. It will take a while for goodies to arrive, in the mean time I can work on other projects.
Project 6 - Lighthouse Island. It's a pretty big biscornu (almost pillow size!)
When done it will look like this:
Project 7 - ornament "Love"
When done it suppose to look like this:
Project 8 - Pope John Paul II
I'm not very religious but this man has a very special place in my heart - he changed my world. In time of confusion, fear, hunger and anger (I'm talking about 80's, time of martial law in Poland, time of ending communist tyranny in Europe). Actually when I think about 80's there is two more leaders I'm thankful to - Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. Those three changed the course of history. Going back to my Pope, this is a start:

I love all your starts Evalina and good for you for pampering yourself a little.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices Evalina I cannot wait to see your HAED :)
ReplyDeleteyour projecs are beautiful good luck
ReplyDeleteWow, I did not realize that about the former Pope. I was reading on wikipedia about his work in Poland. Quite a beautiful piece. Is the basilica in the background backstitched? That looks like one of the most intricate backstitchings I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI would treat myself on my ex's birthday too....if I even remembered his birthday. Doesn't matter, I have a good man now.
Fantastic choices Evalina. You're not shying away from a challenge. Your HAED will look no less then fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a great idea to pamper yourself on a day like that. :)
Lovely treat for yourself :) Your crazy Challenge projects are quite challenging! Can't wait to see all your progress on them!
ReplyDeletelol - too bad he didn't have 3 birthdays! But, oh the shopping! It will be beautiful! And your other projects - what great choices.
