Thank goodness is Monday!!!

Something must have been in retrograde mode last week because everything was going wrong. First, my hair. I colour them since I can remember and I never had any problems. Well, last week they'd turn ORANGE!!! I'm not joking, they were brilliant bright orange, more orange than an orange and carrot together! I had to go to work and to my Lions meeting with hair like that... and there were comments:

"Nice hair"

Thank you - I replied

"Nice Colour!"

Oh no, is not a colour, it's a primer! - was my reply

I was stitching "E" is for an egg and screw up the big "E":

I started a "cold war" with my man... and suddenly Sunday evening all stopped... I fixed the "E" and the little heart on the right of the "E" (I frogged that little heart four times!!!!), and I stitched some more

I think I found a new love - "The Sweetheart Tree" I absolutely love this pattern and most of their designs! It has beads and different specialty stitches and looks just fabulous!  There is a little mistake in the "E" (I noticed while back-stitching) but I decided to leave it since it's hardly noticeable.


Don't get me wrong, I still love HAED and I was working a little on the Guardian Angel:

And this morning I fixed the colour of my hair:

made a peace with Freddy and life is good again! 

So long friends,

Stitchy Saturday

It was a lovely day north of 60, quite cold but very sunny. And I did absolutely NOTHING, just studying a little (still these accounting courses!) and stitching a lot. I did quite a bit on my Guardian Angel

and I have a brand new start, "E" Is for Egg from The Sweetheart Tree. I'm trying to put myself in Ester/spring mood and this piece is perfect!

and here is my progress (I'm blaming my camera for not showing true colors, the fabric is summer khaki and floss: DMC ecru).

Heaven and Earth had another sale and I just couldn't resist... I bought another chart... Woodland Guardian, now I just need some floss (have the fabric) and a lot of time...

So long friends,
