Pictures!

As promised earlier, here they are!

Frost was busy painting my windows...

I look at the outside thermometer and literally froze

Mind you, the winter didn't start yet... birds didn't mind at all

but I was stitching! Here is my Pirate Santa

and Computer Catastrophes

So long friends,

IHSW - Sunday

The temperatures dropped to -35 C, perfect day to stay indoors with a hot cup of coffee and stitch the day away. And again I hoped to accomplish much more that I actually did... I did not make the ornament, I stitch very little on my Pirate Santa but I brought to daylight Computer Catastrophes again. I stitched part with a lot of confetti stitches so I didn't go very far...

There is no pictures in today's post yet but I promise, cross my heart, that they will be here shortly. I stitched last night until my eyes could not see any more and I was to tired to do updates. I will do them this evening!

So long friends,
Evalina

IHSW - Saturday

I thought I would accomplish a little more this Saturday... well, I stared my day with visiting other blogs, yahoo groups etc. and before I knew it, it was a lunch time!

Regardless my late start I stitched an ornie that I will try to finish today (actually make an ornament from that stitched piece)

and worked a tiny bit on my Pirate Santa...

Now it is only 7 in the morning and we'll see what a new day will bring...

So long my friends,
Evalina

IHSW - Friday

It was a first day of International Hermit and Stitch Day hosted by Joyce and since it was a cold day in the Yukon I hermit inside my cabin and didn't go outside even for a minute. I changed my working hours, I work 10 hrs a day for 4 days and I'm taking Fridays off. It saves me couple hours of commuting to work and gives me an extra day off!

In the late morning I was distracted by visitors:

awesome looking Pine Grosbeaks. They do not visit often but yesterday they were all over!

And, of course, I was stitching. I decided to pick something from my last crazy January challenge, something that I could finish during this weekend. Pirate Santa looked like a nice project, so Pirate Santa it was!

Today is as cold as was yesterday so thanks to Joyce for IHSW! I will work on my assignment (yeah, I'm taking another course - managerial accounting is on today's burner) and I will stitch and stitch and stitch some more! I have no idea which project will grab my attention, please comeback later to check it out.

So long friends,
Evalina

weather

It's cold in the Yukon.Click here to see for yourself! I should now better, it's my seventh winter here. No matter what, I am not ready for temperatures "below normal" and that's exactly what is happening now. So much for the global warming. It suppose to affect north the most and I was hoping for some decent weather but guys, believe me, nothing like that is happening here, just wishful thinking. The truth is that we are going into the ice age!

I decided to join International Hermit and Stitch Weekend hosted by Joyce (it's not too late, if you want to join us just pop in to her blog and sign up). So I will stay home by my cozy wood stove and stitch, and stitch and stitch some more. I think I will work on my Pirate Santa, the oldest UFO, some Christmas ornies and Computer Catastrophes.
