Stitchy weekend

I love long weekends! Today is a Discovery Day in the Yukon and the end of a long weekend. It happened that this was also a third weekend of the month so I was hermitting and stitching. It was easy to do due to rain pouring from the sky from time to time. Did I tell you that I love sound of the rain? I do! As you can imagine it was a happy and relaxing weekend for me. I finished 'A Vulture's Welcome' and now I'm thinking - what's next?

I have quite large pile of wips... have a look here and try to guess - I'll have a surprise gift for you if your guess is right!

So long my friends,
Evalina

Full moon - WIPocalypse time!

Would the super moon made the WIPocalypse super too? I was trying hard to do something super for this update. I stitched like there would be no tomorrow hoping that I can finish my Vulture's Welcome. I didn't but I have made great progress:

This month theme is the oldest and the newest WIP. The newest you can see above, the oldest... I'm not sure. I guess would be something from my crazy January challenge. For sure I know what is my oldest UFO - Sailboats and Seagulls! I started this some quarter of the century ago and as soon as I locate that piece I will finish it - cross my heart! This is where I left it off in January 2012:

There is not that much left to finish, I have no idea why it is taking me so long.

My stitchy to do list for the next week:

• to finish Vulture's Welcome
• to locate the oldest UFO and get over with it!

So long my friends,

Stitchy update

There is so many things going in my head that I had to take a break and what is the best way to clear your mind? Stitching of course! I have finished the 'Cancer', a freebie from Stitch Alley

The head wasn't very clear so I kept stitching... From WIP pale I chose 'A Vulture's Welcome'. This is  where I left it off last March:

And as of today:

It almost looks like I'm half done - who knows maybe I'll be able to finish it this month.

So long my friends,

Celebrate the small things

Spring must be somewhere in the world but not here yet... Nights are still very cold but days are amazing - blue sky and sunshine! And they are very looong - soon there will be no darkness at all!

Here is a pic of Marsh Lake taken a few minutes ago, still solid frozen. I was trying to capture my Frosty Girl but she was having way to much fun in the snow - did not stop for a second!

And I stitched a little! Here is progress on the Vultures Welcome and Rabbit Run:

 

I absolutely love that racing rabbit. While stitching it I realized that rabbits make me happy but I have no idea why... Rabbit Run is my new start, I just could not resist that chart. And isn't only me. Vickie of stitchymcfloss fell in love with that chart too and it looks like we will have a little SAL going.

So long my friends,

Done! Day thirteen, fourteen and fifteen of the crazy challenge.

OK, my crazy starts are done and I'm cured for a while from startitis. Here are the last three:

Vultures Welcome

We are entering Chinese year of the Horse - my own sign. It only happens every sixty years, most likely I will not experience this again. I believe in magic so I decided to stitch not just a horse but a unicorn. Kustom Krafts have a beautiful one:

 Enchantment

and the last one, Spooky Welcome:

Stay tuned for tomorrows full moon WIPocalypse 2014.

So long my friends,
