What a day!

I feel like I've accomplish a lot today! This semester I'm taking Business Communication course and I read close to 100 pages from the textbook (tomorrow I'm ready for my first quiz). To tell you the truth, this is my first time taking an English course. When I came to North America I didn't speak the language, any school was to slow for me (you know, I had to speak "yesterday") so I marched to the bookstore and the library and did it all on my own. Now I see how much I have to learn, particularly the grammar. (Please, feel free to point any mistakes that you may notice. It will help me to learn.)

When my brain got "fried" a little and steam started to come from my ears I went to play with Topaz. I feel guilty for not having  much time for our games... She is a very sweet girl and despite her age (she will be 9 soon) she loves to play like a puppy!



And I stitched! I worked on Heart's Secret from Victoria Sampler. I absolutely love this piece. It's done with Gloriana silks and Weeks Dye Works threads. Since it is so lovely to work with it it is very addictive, I can hardly put it down...


If I do well on tomorrow's quiz I will do a little stitching marathon and try to finish it.

So long my friends,
Evalina

    Heart's Secret is beautiful I love the rich colors. It's always good to take a little break when studying so as not to fry your brain. Good luck on your quiz.

    Pretty stitching! Lovely white dog too, I rarely see a dog that color. She matches the snow so well!
