Finally I had a very relaxing day. Can you imagine? No obligations, no deadlines, no exams, no courses - the whole weekend is mine and all mine! About 5 in the morning I was awake by rain drops hitting the roof. I love the sound of the rain and for some reason I couldn't go back to sleep. So I finish 'The last honest woman' by Nora Roberts and started to stitch later, after breakfast. For a long time I didn't look at my 'Halloween House', I figured that's a great piece for today. I'm stitching this as a SAL with Linda of Stitching with my Furbabies. There is (I think) ten of us working on this pattern and everybody is way ahead of me (not for long, let me tell ya!). This is how much I had done before today:
and this how it looks this evening:
So long my friends,
Evalina
You made great progress :) It looks great. I was thinking about starting a Halloween project but there are sooooo many! Hope you have had a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a bit early for Halloween? It's so lovely to have a whole weekend with no obligations and you can fill your time doing what you actually want to do.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress. It is looking very nice.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely work and your progress is great...
ReplyDeletewell done! that's a nice progress there :)
ReplyDeleteThe color of the fabric and the flosses you are using look awesome! Nice progress.
ReplyDeleteI love waking up early before everyone else and enjoying a cup of coffee in the quiet and then picking up my stitching. It's so nice to stitch without all 3 of my boys awake and interrupting me.
ReplyDeleteI really like the way your piece is coming along, the fabric looks just perfect for it.
It's raining here today and I see needlework in my day, too. Your piece is lovely and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteExcellent progress Evalina. That is such a great fabric for a Hallowe'en project.
ReplyDeleteWow! Great job on your progress!

Great progress Evalina. I'm sure you'll finish well before they do.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! I love waking up and listening to the rain especially when you know its a no obligations day and just stitching ahead.
ReplyDeleteI love the design, and your stitching is beautiful! It's coming along nicely!
ReplyDeleteWow Evalina. You made great progress in one day. I love the color of the fabric your using.

Great progress for a day or weekend! Love the colors on the material.
ReplyDeleteHey Evalina..I'm a new follower, I got your name from Karen Walker's blog...I have never cross stitched in my life, but I wanted to 'meet' you because of some of the similarities we share...my actual name is Eva Marie, and I'm of Polish decent, and I live in British Columbia...your needle work is just lovely. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWow, Evalina! You sure did get a lot done on Halloween House! I haven't touched mine in a month, so I need to play catch-up with everyone else too! One person already finished.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! It looks like you made a lot of progress.
ReplyDeleteWonderful progress!! I think I'd be angry to be woken up, especially from the rain. Don't get me wrong, I love the rain, but I also love my sleep which I don't get enough of lately, lol!
ReplyDeleteProgress indeed! As long as you don't get cross stitching cross stitching! :)
ReplyDeleteThat little bit of rain that interfered with the road must have been quite a lot!
I love the colors :D
ReplyDeleteYou're working fast! :-) New follower here.
ReplyDeletegorgeous stitching :D
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute piece, Evalina!
