Is it Monday already?

I have no idea where the weekend went. Friday morning I woke up with a fever and a nasty flu. I did not go to work, I did not stitch, I did nothing. The 'Grow Your Blog' party was going on but I could not stay too long on the front of the monitor. I slept, slept and slept some more. Rest helped a little...

I have visited every single participating blog, I've met many other stitchers, artists, writers, photographers and other talented people. I fell in love with many forms of art. I decided to learn Italian so I can visit Tuscany. I also want to learn how to quilt. My bucket list has grown tremendously.

I will have more than one surprise giveaway. Last time I looked there were 133 comments on my entry post, means 133 people have entered. How can I have just one gift! I think I will make five, that will be more fair.

I managed to stitch a little and I was working on M. Quertier 1799

I guess my next project is to answer all the emails I'm receiving during the party. A few more days at my nine to five job (this Friday is the last day, really!) and my life can be normal again.

So long my friends,
Evalina

    Lovely stitching! Glad you're feeling a bit better!

    I'm impressed that you visited all the blogs... I only got the first section visited...my hand/wrist doesn't like being on the computer very long, sad, eh?

    I don't know how you got round every blog so fast! I am doing a few a day, answering comments on my own as I go - you have an exceptional talent for cross stich, I have been browsing, some lovely work - I made something about 20 years ago(!) but never again as I am impatient and wanted fast results! I will visit again often. Good luck with your last day at the 9-5 job and your new venture. Betty

    Oh Evalina, I am so sorry to hear you became ill. Are you better already? We have not had illness in our home this winter. I keep hearing how awful the crud is. And it is lasting so terribly long in some people. Take care up there.
