My man is home!!!

Finally he came home on Christmas Eve!!! And that made my Christmas a very special one. 

Terri was my exchange partner in Sock it to me Santa and she sent to me a lovely package (there was more chocolates but I ate them before I took the picture). Thank you so much Terri.

In my ILCS group we have a lovely Rene who is very ill. Many of us stitching in her honor. 

I know that she loves Shiver me Timber, so I decided to stitch it for her.

Also I remember that couple of years ago she started to stitch The gift of an eagle feather for her husband. Last year she really tried to finish it but never did... Yesterday I bought this kit and will try to stitch for her. I know that she will be thrilled. Here is the pic of the project:

2010 is almost over, just a few days left.  I would like to wish you a very happy New Year! May the 2011 be the best year ever!!!

So long friends,

Tonight is the night

when the moon will be in the fantastic coppery red shade. It will last 72 minutes... more

So long friends,

Bless This House is finished!!!!

After a very cold few days

we had a quite pleasant  "warm" weekend. A planned so many things to have done... it never happened - days are way to short! The only thing that I've done is a lot of stitching - my "Bless this house" by Nancy Rossi (the cover says: design by Sandy Orton and the chart says: design by Nancy Rossi - go figure! I thing the chart is right and the cover has a mistake... )

I stitched this piece on antique white evenweave with DMC 312. Now I have to find some fabric for the back and make a bell pull. 

And I can go back to my cardinal, maybe he will be done before Christmas.

So long friends,

Not so stitchy update

Happy Tuesday my friends!

I was working a whole weekend and I do not have any new WIP updates to show you. But I've captured a miracle of the sunrise!

Looking to the east - the lake is almost frozen (that picture was taken last Sunday, today the lake is solid frozen 'cuz the temps dropped down to -25 C) and the sky is on fire. 

And looking to the north-west:

a gorgeous full moon with clouds reflecting delicate pink.

With moments like that I know why I love living here - for the beauty of the nature and highways with no traffic.

And my Christmas cactus is in the bloom! My fingers are very itchy to stitch some Christmas ornaments!!!

So long friends,

My man is coming home!

Freddy went to Ontario just for a couple of weeks. Now, six and a half weeks later, he announced that he is coming back - next week... we'll see...

In the mean time I figured that since I'm home alone it is a great time to sort and organize my stash. I'm so sorry I started this project (you do not want to see a picture of my house right now!) I think it will take me 'til Christmas to have it all sorted and organized. I didn't realize how much I have... On the other hand, I have a blast! I "discovered" so many charts and kits that I've forgot I had!!!

And I was stitching a little, here is my progress on the Love and Bless this house:

Love

Bless this house

Bless this house is so close to being finished, I think it will be done before my man comes back! Unfortunately I agreed to work this weekend and that will eat up my stitching time, on the other hand - I definitely can use extra cash before Christmas!

Don't forget to visit Shelley, she has an awesome giveaway!!!

So long friends,
