Signs of Autumn - Bent Creek

Here's what I started yesterday. I didn't stitch that much, but it's a start! I am even sure I will finish it today or tomorrow. It's a small, nice chart of Autumn :)

I used DMC as I don't have any other threads. One of these days when I place another order on 123stitch I should buy some specialty threads. I wanna try them too! Well I have tried them, I once got two nice specialty threads as a gift. Pink and purple. I did try them both and I liked them :)

Anyways, here's the pic! The fabric is 28ct Jobelan (Cameo).

I was watching a new series yesterday. It's called "Alcatraz". It was really interesting. I had to check it from imdb and I noticed there's only one season and it seems there won't be more :( I hate when this happens with series I seem to like! I liked FlashForward a lot and they only made one season cause it didn't have enough people watching it. Also, one of the best series ever, Firefly only had like 13 episodes. That was really, really sad.. >:(

On saturday I was baking! I made some bread and buns. Bread is already gone! I liked it a lot, so I ate it all. I think I might bake more on wednesday, perhaps. Buns are good too, but I try not to eat too much of them as I don't want to get fat. I just managed to lose 3kgs! lol

Back to stitching now oh and I need to craft somehting nice today for the "Anything but a card"-challenge. The theme now is: Anything goes! Can't wait :))

It's September!

It's already September. I love autumn, all those colours! Even though it's getting darker and colder after summer, I don't mind. The colours cheer me up :) Plus I don't mind cold, I love winter and snow and Christmas!!! So yay! :)

However.. I went through my WIPs and UFOs as I wanted to stitch something autumn-related. I couldn't find anything! Ok, the witch kinda fits the theme, but it doesn't have those nice orange and brown colours! I am almost done with her and I know very well that I said I won't start anything new before I have finished at least four CJC projects. But I MUST start something. I need to stitch something that goes with my mood. I don't feel like stitching flowers or snow (not just yet) or whatever I have on my WIPs (lol). So.. I am sorry, everyone and myself too, I must start an autumn-themed project. Nothing big though. I want to finish it qite quickly so I won't feel too bad cause of a new start. I already know a pattern or two from my stash that I could start.. *giggles*

Now we all know just how bad I am. Yup.. but hey! I wanna enjoy stitching (and mostly I do enjoy it a lot) and now I feel like stitching with oranges and browns so let's do it! Rather than stitching something else and thinking about what I'd rather stitch at the moment.

I'll post pics as soon as I have something to show.

Have a lovely September everyone! :)

Anything But a Card - blog

I found an interesting blog today. Here's the link..

http://anythingbutacard.blogspot.co.uk/

As the name says: Anything but a card. They have bi-weekly challenges to encourage people to craft things, but no cards! :) I am looking forward it. They do have a giveaway there now as well.

I am curious how it's gonna go. I do all kind of crafts. I love to make cards but other things too so I am really looking forward this! I want to try different things and can't wait what I can come up with and what other people will craft, too!

Yay :)

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 :)
