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.

Guess what?

Yep, my birthday feast continues and gifts are keep coming! This one is from Cynthia, a chart with beautiful floss. Thank you my friend!

The birthday celebration goes on

Look what I found in my mailbox today! It came all the way from Finland! Thank you so much Wilma. You have brighten my day. This kit was on my wish list for a while, now I can't wait to start stitching it. It is full of roosters and sunflowers and is design by my favorite designer, Sandy Orton.

And I could not believe my eyes, all the floss is already sorted!

Looks like my birthday isn't over yet!

Yesterday has brought another surprise! Look what I got as a courtesy of Deborah and Everything Cross Stitch: my favorite Pope, John Paul II. Do you know that he was Polish and he was the first non-Italian Pope since 1520? He has a very special place in my heart.

Thank you so much Deborah!
