Swimming

Mario has started swimming lessons last week. Well, I am not really shocked that he did not like it. Let's hope that his second lesson will be better ;-) I have stitched him a towel to cheer him up:

 

 

I have started this Sarah Kay picture a few years ago but gave up because of the confetti stitching in the dresses. I found it when I was looking for something else and have finally finished it

 



Stockings

You will not believe it but I have finally plucked up the courage and finished off the children' stockings. And here they are:

 

I am rather proud how they have turned out. Now my husband wants one too and how could I say no ;-) I'll better get stitching

Another Hummel

 

I have finished another Hummel picture. This one is called Feeding Time and reminds me of when my eldest was little. My lovely grandparents own chicken and my daughter enjoyed feeding them. This little girl looks a lot like her at that age.

Dimensions Good Morning

Gosh what a busy year 2013 is. I have just returned from a short trip to Germany. My grandfather is very ill. His cancer has spread and I have never felt so upset when I said good bye before.

I will not manage to go again before august 2014. So I'll just have to try to be positive.

My latest stitching finish is a Dimensions Kit. It is called Good Morning and is my favourite finish to date. It just looks so cheerful, so full of hope.

Here it is:

My next project is Feeding Time, a little girl feeding chickens. This reminds me of when my eldest daughter was small and fed my grandparents chickens.

A Hummel

Hello,

I have just finished a Hummel picture. I started it in between things and now I didn't want to start anything new. So I am finishing off some UFOs and WIPs. It's not that I haven't got anything new to start but this WIP-heap was getting out off control ;-)

Here he is:

 

 



 I don't know if you aware of the awful floods in Germany. This flood is the worst ever with the biggest ever area effected. My dad was evacuated yesterday and went back to his mum for a few days. They will have lost an awful lot. People have died. As you might know Germany is ALWAYS on of the first country to help when other countries need help but the EU will not help the flood victims. Many of them will not have insurances because they can not get an insurance due to the flood in 2002......

King Henry

Hello,

I know you think I had given up and he joined some UFOs in my box. You were nearly right but after a big break Henry wanted to be finished and I REALLY enjoyed every stitch even though there are masses of French Knots. Now he is finished and waiting for a frame (I hope I'll find one).



 

King Henry VIII and his wives

I don't know if I have mentioned about the two Humphrey Corner test pieces I stitched for the designer? You can buy them now. So I think it's save to put them on my blog. Aren't they cute?

Now will someone tell my brother or cousins to have kids? I need someone to stitch the others for ;-)

Tobias LOVES Racoons. He has a fluffy one and gets really upset if he mislays it. So I have stitched him one

Neuschwanstein Castle

Hello!

Well, it appears you've guessed wrong: I have managed to finish Neuschwanstein Castle in time for my holiday with 2 days to spare. How am I going to use it???? As if I didn't know already ;-)

I took my two girls and a friend of my eldest to see Olly Murs in concert. To be honest I did not know who he is. But that's me. I like songs, books etc and haven't got a clue who they are by. Funny though I usually know who's designed my latest project. hehe

Anyway Olly Murs is FABULOUS! I think I'd be forgiven to say he's the new Robbie. Gosh so much energy and sooooo cheeky. To tell you the truth I wish I had the money to go and see them both in June but these tickets'd cost more than double than ours did. Okay you get two stars but I have not got the money.... If you don't know Olly, you will have heard most of his songs because I did. His support acts were great too. Expecially the Lovable Rogues. To be honest I would have been okay with having a whole show of them ;-) "OLLY, OLLY, OLLY, Oi, Oi, Oi" :-D

Neuschwanstein Castle (all finished)
