Round Robin - birds

Here's my part of Jaana's round robin. Her theme was birds. I loved her theme and I was actually considering it as well, but chose wild animals instead.

I stitched a bullfinch (punatulkku) which is one of my favourite birds. I love those little cuties :)

Next I can continue with the witch. But not today. Today I need to do lots of cleaning.. I just hate washing the dishes! Ugh.. But as there's no one else to do it, I have to. But more stitching tomorrow! :)

TUSAL august

Hello!

I know I am late with the TUSAL update. You can read more about TUSAL from the page I made for it on the right side.

Here's my jar. It's been eating quite nicely this time :)

the Witch

I have made some progress on the Witch again. It feels so great to stitch again! I am really enjoying stitching her. I love the bright colours and the fabric is awesome too. After finishing this I would love to stitch another JE design, but I am not allowed to start anything before finishing those four CJC projects. Oh well, I will live :)

I have done something, whooo!!

Hellloooo!

I've been bad and I haven't updated my blog for ages now.

My fiance was here and I also had a cold! Ugh.. I actually still have it, but getting better. Nose is not running 24/7 anymore, thank God!

Here's a picture of my part of Kaisa's Kitchen RR (round robin). I loved the colours on this one so that's why I chose this pattern.

Next theme is birds and I have already started stitching it. No pics of it yet though :)

I've also stitched my little Witch a bit. I hope to finish it soon as well.

My back is a lot better now, yay!! It's not 100% yet but getting there, soon I hope :) I hope everyone is doing well and you've been stitching a lot! I'll continue stitching the Witch today while watching tv. After my evening walk :)

Wedding card

Another card that I made for my cousin. Not for the same one though. This time I made a wedding card for my dear cousin. She was a such a beatiful bride!

On the inside it looked like this, before my mum attached a poem (inside the oval).

I also stamped a nice picture of hearts growing on pots inside the card. I stamped it with clear ink which I embossed with silver embossingpowder. I like this card a lot :)

Card for my cousin

My mum asked me to make a card for my cousin's Confirmation. I had no idea what kind of card I should make and I didn't have anything religious that I could use for it.. So I decided to make a card with flowers as those are good for anything :) Colours suit for a guy and it's not too colourful. Me likes :) Mum liked too, don't know about the cousin lol

I should go through the pics I took during our trip to see those two churches and shopping trip on Ikea and Ideapark. I have been lazy.. I've been thinking about stitching a lot though even though I haven't stitched :D I would LOVE to get the Lizzie Kate Mystery sampler.. I have seen how the part one looks and I like it.

I have also made couple small designs myself. I need to re-check the colours and stitch it to see if it's any good. Not yet though, I need to finish four CJC-pieces! No, I didn't forget that ;)

I should buy white evenweave (Jobelan, mostly) so I could do some dyeing again. I bought dark colour as I would like to dye a piece for Mirabilia's Archangel and brown will be perfect for him :) Soon, maybe!

UFO update and RR

I forgot to post an update of the UFO I am supposed to be stitching! I said supposed to as I haven't been feeling well enough to do lots of stitching. Few stitches here and there.

I was able to stitch the light green area on the left and couple rows of brown on the bottom.

I didn't finish my part of my own round robin. Mostly cause of my back problems but also cause I didn't expect the lines I stitched to take so long! I even miscalculated.. lol, ofcourse. The fabric is "Barely Bronzed" by Sparklies. My theme is wild animals, so I chose brown colour for the frame.

Tomorrow I'll post pictures from a little trip I made with my mum last week. We like to go to see churches here in Finland. I took lots of pics of the two churches we went to see. I LOVED the first one we saw.. We also went to Ikea and Ideapark (big shopping centre) and I bought some scrapbooking mats! :) More about them tomorrow. :)
