Surprise!!!

Friday's mail brought a surprise to me. Anne of Doll's Musings had a giveaway for followers and I was the lucky winner. And I do mean it when I say lucky. She sent to me a whole package full of goodies along with a beautiful card

There was a tea and chocolates, and ribbons, and a beautiful piece of fabric with gorgeous floss

but the most precious gift I could ever imagine was a treasure box made by Anne herself

I can almost feel the joy, see the smile on her face when she was stitching this precious piece. Now I'm smiling looking at it. I love the blossoms and the bird and will cherish this box forever. Thank you Ann from the bottom of my heart.

I can't believe it but I do have a 'stitchy' update. I was working on M. Quertier 1799 and here is my progress:

 

I think I'm half way done, there is only twelve more motifs left to stitch and the writing. If I could stitch one motif a day I could be done by the end of the month! 

So long my friends,

Today is the first day of the rest of my life

Some twenty years ago (well, almost twenty) I fell in love and I'd lost myself. I was there before and didn't learn my lesson - so here again story repeats itself. Today I'm older, fatter, more miserable but no matter what TODAY is the first day of the rest of my life and it's up to me what the rest of my life will look like.

Wiped my tears off and taking Frosty Girl for a run. She is really fun to be around. If you are not tired yet of watching her - here is our new video

So long my friends,
Evalina

Happy Monday!

For many Monday is the toughest day of the week, it is that day of the week when our brains take all day to reboot from all the weekend activities. 

Wishing you a happy Monday and a start of a beautiful week!

 

 

 

So long my friends,
