| Big news (and tiny stitchy update) |

Stitchy update
I was working on Egypt, as previously said, hoping to have it finished before baby came, and I was becoming sooooo close. (un?)fortunately baby decided to come about a day to soon to have it done. But here's a pic of the last part I was working on:
( so the big news ) |

| More egypt |
[Jun. 23rd, 2010|05:51 pm] |
Egypt has grown nicely (even if I do say so myself, lol) since last time. I'm taking advantage of the last days of my pregnancy to get as much stitching in, as I can - since it will probably be a while then before I can sit down and stitch again. So here's a pic of where I am today:

Stitching
A week and a half ago, the doctor gave me the OK to be a bit more 'active' again, so I've been sitting up more again, and taking mini-walks. The sitting up gave me the possibility to take up the stitching of the Egyptian Empire again. Remember where I left of?
( come visit Egypt! )
Pregnancy
I've hit the 37 weeks pregnancy mark! So from now, the baby is allowed to come from the doctor, I personally hope baby stays where it is for about 2 more weeks (or 3). It's wierd, but it's like I really need those 2 weeks mentally. And I have a tour of the maternity ward planned on the 24th (second try, the first appointment couldn't go through because I was put on rest) and I really would like to be able to make that appointment, I think I'd be more relaxed through the delivery if I have that preparation. We'll see have everything goes... as long as baby is healthy! |

I finally managed to put together the third stitched up biscornu. This one is 39x39 in size.

This one is made from two free patterns from Miss T
Now I'm going to enjoy the hot weather a bit more (before it's too hot for me), since it will only last a couple of days. |

| second finish of the year |

Winnie the Pooh Calender
Sunday evening, I finished the last backstitch on Tigger (March). With that finished I have my second finish of the year! Here's a detail of the last two months and a pic of the whole calender.

| Winnie the pooh Calender: two more |
[May. 8th, 2010|06:34 pm] |
Hi all,
I finished two more months of the calender, so now only June and March are left to do. I'm working on June right now, hope to finish it today, so hopefully sometime next week I'll have my second finish of the year! For now, here's a pic of December and September.

| Winnie the pooh Calender: halfway there |
[Apr. 27th, 2010|10:17 pm] |
Waw, updates are coming fast this time :) I finished two more months (January and April) and with these, I'm halfway through the year :) These motives were fun to work on, and fast stitches, but the backstitches in little pigglet were a bit less fun. But he looks great, so he's forgiven, lol! Click piccie to biggify. |

| Winnie the Pooh Calender: update |
[Apr. 23rd, 2010|09:26 am] |

Comments are loved and appreciated! |

I started, or rather RE-started the Winnie The Pooh Calender. The frogs seemed to adore August though! Luckily they didn't really pester me on November :-) This is an easy stitch, so you'd think I'd avance quickly, but of course, as everything, it seems to go soooo slow! But anyway 2 months down, 10 to go :-)
Also Vicky is holding a blog-giveaway in honor of her 40th birthday with some very nice goodies! Go check it out. |

| Egyptian Empire update |
[Apr. 7th, 2010|06:52 pm] |
The Egyptian Empire
 As I wrote in the last post, I've been working on Egypt, especially on Toetanchamon. I have finished him now, with all the backstitching (except the part where the other statues still need to come)
( rest is hiding under here ) |

| Animal SAL 8/10 |
[Mar. 8th, 2010|04:46 pm] |
I've managed to reach my self-set goal and finish up the 8th part by the end of last week, only two more to go now! Sorry nog pic of the Pooh-kit yet, I had a little problem there, but I'll write more about it, when I have a pic to share.
Other news, I got a bit of a shock when I wanted to know how much I weigh now, but it turns out the scale doesn't work right, so it's wait and see untill I had my doctor's check-up. It's also been quite an emotional week, with me crying for no reason, but well, it's hormones you know! The blood-pressure is under control for now with the meds and the home-stay, although I'm worried now because I think I forgot one of my four daily pills :-(

| Animal Sal part 7/10 |
[Feb. 28th, 2010|09:02 pm] |
Yay, I managed another update for this month :-)
I finished the 7th part of this 10 part mystery SAL.
I've also made a start on the Winnie The Pooh kit I bought a couple of weeks ago. No pic yet, due to too many real live distractions.
I've also noticed I'll have to bend my no new stash rule a tiny little bit, I really desperately need new needles, to replace my (shame on me) bended needles. I probably have about 2 good needles left :( |

| animal SAL 6/10 |
[Feb. 19th, 2010|05:11 pm] |
Looks at last stitching update, oh dear, time goes fast! I finally got around to finishing up the next part of my (not so mystery anymore) animal SAL. Oh, and I finally got an e-mail back from Lanarte, they couldn't really help me much because the pattern is out of their collection, but I'm just glad they at least let me know something. |

It's been decided, I have to stay home in sick-leave from the doctor because of my blood-pressure. I thought I was prepared for this kind of news (he already mentioned it 4 weeks ago) but still, now that it's reality, some tears appeared. Especially because of some reactions from my sister and father.
Good thing I already bought the Winnie The Pooh kit, because I'll have to watch the money a bit closer now, so no more new stash for now :(
( these could do with some more views/clicks ) |

| "Mystery" SAL part 5 |
[Jan. 31st, 2010|12:36 pm] |
I've finaly been able to pick my needles back up and stitch the 5th part of this SAL. I had originaly already started this part back in november and done half of it, but when I started the bird, I noticed I had forgotten that there was an overlay of 3 stitches, big booboo! (and not good for my high blood-pressure, lol!) So after frogging it all, I didn't feel like stitching anymore at all! But after a few months (and new stash...), and my BP doing better (let's keep fingers crossed it stays that way!) I started this one again.
So here's part 5: 
Curious about the stash I mentioned? Well... I bought this one  I'm sure you can image for who this will be :-) I hope to start this one soon, but would like to have the animal SAL finished first.
I still also have 'Egypt' lying around, but the part I started seems wrong compared to the pic provided by Lanarte, it looks like 2 colors are switched, it's probably me who's wrong, but I asked Lanarte anyway, back in october already, they don't seem to find it necessary to answer :( It's a shame, this has been a really expensive kit, and this has diminished my trust in them (I mean, really, is it so hard to at least acknowledge my message?), but well, maybe I'm wrong for feeling that way (being overly emotional and all, lol)?
And to end the newyears-month, I want to thank everyone again for the cards I recieved, I had a nice display in my house with all the cards
