A very old UFO and a small CJC2012 piece

I have to many WIPs and UFOs. When I wanna stitch, I spent lots of time to decide what to stitch! Esp. if the piece I wanna stitch is a no. I wanted to stitch the autumn by Bent Creek but I noticed I am missing two colours! The list says I do have them both, but I can't find them.. So, I can't stitch and finish that piece now. But I did NEED a small piece.. wonder why?

Well, as some of you might know, I play World of Warcraft. I have been leveling my priest's profession: Archaeology. Now that's something that is quite boring! Most of the time you are just flying from place A to place B and again to place C and A :P So, while I was doing this, flying around, I was checking Facebook and newspapers etc. Until I realised something.. I should stitch while I am flying! Ha! So I needed a small project next to my laptop which I could pick up when I am having a boring moment on WoW (flying, waiting for an instance group etc.) I chose one of my CJC pieces: Snowman 10 by Lizzie Kate :) Yay! I am multitasking!  I haven't stitched really much yet, but at least something.

I LOVE L*K patterns! They are nice and small and yet, so colourful :) After I have finished this, I will choose another Lizzie Kate as my laptop project lol.

Let's talk about that old UFO. When I had started stitching back in.. 2003/4 (I can't remember when that happened, I THINK it was in 2004, at least my oldest Cross Stitcher-magazine is from that year) I saw Dimensions' kits somewhere. I fell in love! I ordered one and started it right away. However.. uhm.. I think I chose a bit too big project! And challening too! I soon got tired of it as it doesn't only use cross stitches or even half stitches, but also half stitches on four strands, when 1 strand is colour A and 3 strands are colour B. So, I gave up and it's been an UFO for a looong time now. I pick it up every now and then and do few stitches but for some reason, I always put it away after some time. But now I am not gonna do that! I will keep it in the living room, somewhere where I can always see it and it screams my name! Maybe one day, I am able to finish it. And when I do, I will have a giveaway! :D Don't hold your breath though..

Here's how it looks at the moment. Oh and the kit is called "Southwest Mesa"

Look at these lovely colours!

It should look like this when finished.

Lots to do, lots to do.. But I do enjoy it now :)

Also! I did some shopping few days ago.. From Dimensions again. I ordered two ornament kits which I plan to finish before Christmas. Wish me luck! I will post a pic of them when they arrive, they were mailed on Friday, whooo!!!

TUSAL and update on autumn

Here's my update on both TUSAL (read more about it on my TUSAL-page on the right) and my "Signs of Autumn" by Bent Creek.

And here's the autumn-project. I haven't been stitching that much lately, that's why it's not finished yet even though it is rather small. I have been playing WoW a lot lately as the new expansion comes out next week! EEEK, exciting :))

I stitched the apples with DMC variagated (or however you write that word, never seem to get it right lol). It might be a bit too dark though.. I would like to stitch the pumpkin with an orange variegated too, but that I do need to buy first. Hmm maybe I should finish this today before I start watching CSI. So I could stitch something else again. Like my part of the Newton's Law- round robin! Almost forgot that :/ But soon I NEED to start stitching something christmassy ^^

Busy week!

I don't have any pictures to show. I realised yesterday that it's Mother's day on Sunday and I have nothing to give to my mum! So I started stitching little something yesterday and I am gonna continue today. I should get it/them finished on time. I just hope I will find perfect frames for them, too!

On Monday I finally got a mail from BookDepository. I got a lovely book full of animal patterns. The book is "Mother and baby animals" by Pollyanna Pickering. There's so many patterns that I wanna start right now.

I've bee playing WoW too lately. I am trying to replace my pve tanking gear to pvp healing gear. Not easy as I have some pieces of healing gear and some tanking and I try to heal in battlegrounds. I do get some healing done, however, I do die damn easily. Also I am not that familiar with paladin healing yet. I always did pvp with my priest and shaman, both healers. But we plan to have a awesome arena team (again) with my fiancee, him being a DK and me a holy pala. We might form a 3ve team too with his friend who also happens to be a DK.

If you didn't understand anything about the WoW part, don't worry. Most people don't! :D But I wanted to write a bit about it as well as I do love playing WoW and maybe latern Diablo as well!

Stitching an UFO

Last weekend I was stitching an UFO which I started to stitch in 2004. It's a lady from "Quick and Easy Cross Stitch"-magazine. It was an UFO for years and now I finally decided to continue with it. I stitched a little of her dress, the beige part.



Today I got mail again! And I mean nice mail, not bills or anything. But four new charts from Violarium. Here's a pic of them. Season's by Jardin Prive.




I've been watching Bones (season 2 now) and been playing WoW too, so I haven't stitched much lately. Today I wanna continue with the lady so I could finish it one day too. She's been UFO way too long already.


Viime viikonloppuna aloin pistellä yhtä UFOa, jonka aloitin 2004. Malli on "Quick and Easy Cross Stitch"-lehdestä. Pistelin neidon hametta, beigeä osaa. Parka ollut UFOna jo monen monta vuotta.

Sain tänään myös postia! Mukavaa postia, ei laskuja. Nimittäin tilaukseni Violariumista. Jardin Priven vuodenajat. Nämä mallit ovat aivan ihania!

Olen katsonut Bones-sarjaa (kakkos kaudella tällä hetkellä) ja pelannut WoWia niin paljon, ettei aikaa ole jäänyt pistelyille. Tänään kuitenkin haluaisin jatkaa neidon parissa.
