I'm speachless...

Have this ever happened to you? To have nothing to say... well at least I was stitching last week and have some pics to prove it. Here are my four projects:





Can you guess which one I will finish first?

So long my friends, I hope next time I will have something to talk about.

Monday, August 5

Couple of weeks went by and I feel a little better, it's true that the best healer is time. Finally my eyes has dried and brain is working again. Thank goodness, because the bills have to be paid and I'm self employed right now. I chose not to have a 9 to 5 job and if you do not have to show up every morning, it's so easy to get sidetrack... So I'm back to work 'full steam'. If all goes well maybe (and that's a big maybe) I can go for that trip across Canada this autumn. It would be so cool to see our Maritimes finally. Frosty Girl isn't taking car rides very well, she is getting car sick. Does anybody has any advice? It will be a long, long trip and many hours in the car.


Terri of This is who I am has a new challenge FAB4FOCUS. I looked on my neglected SALs and decided to go with these 4:
  1. The Russian Roster - I dislike this sampler but love the roosters and originally I wanted  to stitch just the little motifs. Well, yesterday I had another look on the whole thing and all of a sudden I realized that the sayings are the perfect conservative values that I admire so much... I made I few changes to the design and fell in love with it. Thank goodness I've started this piece on a fabric large enough to stitch the whole thing.
  2. Miss Mary Mack
  3. Ol Harvest Moon - this one I'm stitching over one with one thread on the 25 ct even weave. For some reason I wanted to make an ornament from this design...
  4. Bluenose Dime - I didn't finish it by the end of July as planned, now I'm hoping to be done with it by the end of summer.
So long my friends,
Evalina

May Monster Madness - Miss Mary Mac

Who was Miss Mary Mac? Was she a monster who brain washed little kids to clap and sing her name? Or was she a lost soul looking for answers? Why are so many kids playing this game and why the song is stuck in my head? We all know the popular lyrics, recently I came across this and I like it!
Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
She had a knife, knife, knife
Stuck in her back, back, back
She could not scream, scream, scream
She could not cry, cry, cry
So she begs, begs, begs
She begs to die, die, die.
And I have a stitching chart of Miss Mary Mac. With small alternations it will be my project for tonight. I will stitch Miss Mary Mac, think of her and maybe the answer will come to me by the dawn of the morning...
So long my friends,
Evalina
