Heart's Secret from Victoria Sampler could be yours!

Many of you complemented my Heart's Secret and fell in love with it just like I did some time ago. I decided to part with the chart and offer it for trade. The chart will come with left over floss and, let me tell you, Victoria Sampler was very generous with their accessory pack - there is almost enough threads left to stitch one more piece! I stitched mine on 32ct instead on recommended 28ct. Maybe that's why there is so much left. The only colour that you will need for sure is the green for the leaves, seaweed from Weeks.

So, send me your offer and it could be yours!

So long my friends,

I love Mondays

And it is Monday! And Christmas Eve is just a few days away, and the celebration time will start! I love Christmas!

I had so many plans for yesterday but did not accomplish even half of them... I hermit and stitched for most of the day. I finished Heart's Secret:

And I found perfect fabric for the back. I think I will make a pillow or should I finish it in some other way? Size of the stitching area is 7" by 7".

I was gonna to work on Pirate Santa but instead I started a new piece (bad, bad Evalina!), an ornament:

and now when I'm looking at it I think it would make a lovely biscornu...

When I took off Hear's Secret from q-snaps I had the urge to start something new... For some reason I can't resist empty q-snaps... (some of you think it's a disorder called startitis). Using my will power I resisted from starting a bigger project and I decided to do something small, something what will not take a lot of time to finish so I still can have Pirate Santa done before Christmas.

So long my friends,

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

Stitchy Sunday

Thank you so much for all kind words about my shoulder. I'm better today and I even slept a little last night. I think it is a pinched nerve because it is taking forever to heal. I hope that one day I will be able to do my hair again. It's pain to do it with one hand only.

Yesterday I was looking for something to stitch... I wanted a new start. And it was the Heart's Secret from Victoria Sampler. Here is my progress:

Heart's Secret originally was a part of my 2012 crazy January challenge, I just couldn't wait that long. Now I must replace it with something else.

Last month I was working on Computer Catastrophes. Not much progress there but every stitch counts!

Now back to my assignment... gosh, after I'm done with these courses I will never look at any textbook again!

So long my friends
