What a week I had!

Last Friday I was invited to a meeting with our Prime Minister. This can happen only in the Yukon. In any other place in Canada I would have to be some kind of official to receive invitation like that. It was my second meeting with Stephen Harper, two years ago I was invited to have breakfast with Prime Minister.

After the meeting I felt a "better Canadian" and I spend weekend finishing O Canada.



In the close up I'm trying to show a little heart (click on it). What do you think, it is suitable for this project or should I look for another heart. The original had a gold, open heart.

And I had an urge to buy O Canada sampler but, thanks goodness, we didn't have electricity almost all day yesterday and that prevented me from going to my favorite online LNS. So, instead, I was working on Frederick. Here is the progress:

O Canada - I was stitching!

Just a quick hello to show you my progress on O Canada.

O Canada - half way done!

Here it is!

I love this piece. In Kooler Design I found many projects design by Sandy Orton and many of them already on my wish list.

O Canada progress

Thank you so much for many nice comments on O Canada. It is a lovely piece to work on. No back stitching and no partial stitches. I am using DMC floss and 28 ct Lugana (I think...) in color that closely matches DMC 422. The stitching area is 18" x 7" on 14ct (or 28ct over two).

Many stitchers asked me about the chart. Well, it is available at Kooler Design Studio

O Canada

It was a very good week. I've a nice progress on O Canada, here is a pic:

I started to stitch this piece just a week ago, I absolutely love it and I think that Sandy Orton is one of my favourite designers.

New week, new finish, new start

Last weekend was quite productive. I finished my Frog Trio, I hear nothing, I see nothing, I say nothing. Does anybody remember the original saying and where it came from? I'm just curious.


I think they will look good as a flat fold, what do you think? And I started on a new project. With Canada Day coming I'm feeling patriotic and decided to stitch O Canada design by Sandy Orton. Here is a picture of the design:


and that's my WIP:


I also submitted my first (1 of 5) assignment in Business Law and I've got a 75% mark. I needed 65% to pass, so I think I did OK.
