Framed

Hi,

finally I have managed to get some of my stitching framed and put them on the wall. But there is soooo much more

a tiny finish

I am working on some rather big projects at the moment. So I tend to slip in a few smaller things in between. I have just finished a birthday present for my friend Marion but I am not sure if she reads my blog. SO I'll better don't post a picture before her birthday on July 21st. :-)

The birthday present for my other half is coming along nicely. I might just finish it in time.

My little boy loves Pandas and Racoons. In this months edition of the CrossStitch Crazy they featured a very cute baby panda which I stitched for him. He really loves it :-)

WIPs

Hi,

somehow I got a teeny bit carried away. My current WIPs are Bothy's King and Queens, Joan Elliott's Angel of Joy, the Rat pack by Jann Designs and a birthday present for my dear friend Marion.

The Rat Pack is going to be a present for my husband. He really wanted a stitched picture of Dean Martin for our "Wall of Fame".... It is not easy to stitch secret projects when you have appointments and thing to do and the dreaded potty training, even though we're doing okay with the latter.

Here is a picture of nearly 1/6th of the rat pack finished:

I have been busy framing some of my stitching. But now the double sided sticky tape is all gone :-o So I have to wait 'til the people of the Happy CrossStitcher will send more. It appears I do not have enough wall space for a fraction of it all which means I'll need to win the lotto did get a bigger house :-P But It's looking good already :-)

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.
