birthday countdown


2 days left to my birthday!

A long time ago I fell in love with African Women by Lanarte. It was quite expensive piece so I put it on my "wish list" hoping that some day I will buy it. Well, yesterday I checked and with a heart ache I found that African Woman is discontinued and no longer available! I was so, so disappointed... but I didn't give up, like a hunter chasing his prey I started hunt all over internet hoping that somehow, somewhere I can find her. After all the price didn't matter at all, I just wanted my African Woman. Didn't take me long, I found her at gittas.com, a lovely store in Mississauga, Ontario (I hope that some day I will shop there in person). And here she is, my trophy, the African Woman:

  3. Yay - isn't it a wonderful feeling to nab that particular chart you really wanted?! She's so pretty, too. I personally absolutely love Gitta's. We met the owners at the Stitching Jubilee in PA last year and spent much, much time at their booth. They were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. :)

  6. Don't you hate it when you wait and wait for something only for it to be gone when you can finally get it! I am so glad that you were able to find the pattern. It will be beautiful when finished.
