What we're stitching now...

Are there little sparks flying from your needle?

Just an update, totally finished with his other half

Pfffffft! is the sound of blowing smoke off a needle. HERE HE IS:

I MUST be nuts :)

well, went ahead and printed out the order for her today. Hehe, was there ever any doubt :-P

Got Neffi in the mail yesterday, just in time for my birthday today. She has no gold threads, and the linen has hardly any slubs. Can't wait to start on her. All I know is, it won't be 1½-2 years before I finish her:-P

Hi everyone! I have few passive WIP's and one active WIP. And that active one is called "The Praying Child". It is the girl version of it. Such a pretty one. The outer border is done. The dark blue areas are done. The light blue areas...are not finished yet. But I thought I stitch the white ones first, and then I take the light blue ones and stitch them.

Hi Amber! You do not sound crazy. That 40X40 cm size Nefertiti-pillow got my attention...Ah well...there is so much stitching anyway...but one can have dreams or what.

He looks amazing, Amber. I envy you. Keep stitching.

Just finished a small piece:

I am working on the Wedding Sample in the May/June 1988 Cross Stitch and Country Crafts magazine. It is a lovely Blue and White Piece, nice due to the fact the bride's colors are blue and white.

Hi! When Thursday came, me, my classmates & our teacher left to Rovaniemi. "When we leave Haapavesi and go to Rovaniemi, you can ride with me in my car" my teacher promised. Well, you may guess how it went. She had to stop almost to every possible gas station. Why? I had to go to the toilet! And why was that? I was so nervous! The toilet visits kept going whole day...and I was exhausted by the time we went to our hostel the one final time. I was so tired I had no strength even stitching. I just went straight to bed. But when the next morning came, I was up before 8 AM and stitching away. Our teacher had told us we should be down in the hall before 11 AM. I was nervous...and the toilet visits kept going all morning. But when our final "farewell Rovaniemi" moment came, my body calmed down. I was a bit scared of course, but I had decided to stitch and enjoy the journey home. And what happened? Stitching kept me busy, but I went to toilet whenever we stopped. But I did not need to ask our driver to stop. You see, my return trip happened in different car. But anyway, I stitched when we went there and I stitched in Rovaniemi and I stitched when we came back. So my project, "The Praying Child", has made quite a progress. I went through my stash and realized something. I have many huge projects there. Some of them are USOs, some of them are inactive WIPs. I just hope I have time to finish them. At least 2 big projects have certain place on my list. When "The Praying Child" is done, I think I will catch one flower work and stitch it. I should have done it ages ago but...you know how it is, especially if a project is one you stitch when you travel. Best: Pirjo
