Just one week

One week doesn't seem like a long time but a lot can happen in just one week. I have finished my Bluenose Dime and it is looking good!

Now I have to decide how to finish it... I could frame it, make a pillow or a wallhanging - I'm not so sure yet. On the bottom right corner I've placed a real dime but it's hard to see the schooner. I've also found a beautiful story about Bluenose. Have a look, there is even a short video!

My garden has changed in one week also!

And I am five pounds lighter today than a week ago!

So long my friends,

a night before the exam...




Last few days have been painful... I didn't do  anything extraordinary, just band over to see what's in the box and, that's it, couldn't get back to normal position. Can I blame this on Mercury also?!? I do not think so, I am a human not a robot!

Or maybe it is just an excuse for not studying hard enough... Today I'm feeling much, much better but still... can't force myself  to a little practice before exam. I have no idea what the hell is wrong with me! 

My exam will be an "open book" exam, which means that I can take with me to the exam room this lovely book, all three thousand pages! I'm also allowed to have a little (1.5"x2") hand written sticky notes, one per page and I can write on all margins and any "white spaces in the book. What that tells ya? The exam will be brutal! So I'm preparing for it in a little different way...




I was stitching a little


and checked on tomatoes


and soon I can harvest rose hips (we have tons of wild roses), if you have any recipe what to do from rose hips, please share with me


Our beautiful, purple flower fireweed turned into some kind of cotton... has some charm to it...


and a close up


After long day preparations for the exam I went shopping. Heaven and Earth Design has sale this week so I bought:

Poppies, and

Winter Wings

Aren't they beautiful? I have no idea when I will stitch them but I'm happy to have them in my stash collection.

Happy Day!

Rest of my birthday presents arrived safely! Heidi, Kathy, Nancy and Melinda surprised me with gift certificates (thank you so much ladies!!!) to my favorite on line store so I went shopping!!! This is what I bought:


bunch of ornament kits


kitties


all supplies for the Egyptian Sampler. I received this leaflet from Carolyn last year, I had some floss and fabric  but needed so much more. Finally I was able to complete the kit up portion!


and hens friends. I've got so excited (and my computer was acting very weird) so I started new project...

Tomatoes update

Poor green tomatoes are getting some colour! I do not have any hopes though for them to turn red on vine. It's cold and rains last couple days. But, you never know, sometimes miracles can happen!!!


So long friends!
