Finally arrived!

Guess what the mailman brought me yesterday? I've been waiting for almost two weeks for it! Yessssss ... my Serengeti mandala kit arrived on my doorstep. Don't need to harass the mailman any more ;-)!

Just look at all those lovely colours! Silks, beads, sparklies ... YUMMY!!!

How it arrived ... I always wonder how Cindy gets is so nicely in it's bag

Floss toss with flash

Without flash ... You can also see how far I am with part 1 ;-)

Guess what I'll be doing this weekend!?

Woo hoo Ann, you got it! :)

And you are not alone... I've been stitching on mine like crazy (esp. since part 2 comes out tomorrow). Aren't those silks, crystals and beads absolutely stunning?

This time we travel to the south of Europe ... Italy being our destination ;-) RENATO PAROLIN I can't remember how I got to know the designs of Renato Parolin (who doesn't have a website nor a blog)... I suppose I've seen some of his designs on fellow stitchers' blogs. His - yes ladies a MALE designer - theme is nature with lots of trees, deer, doves, squirrels, owls, flowers and hearts. Once you've bought one chart, you want them all - trust me! Look at what I've gathered the last two years: And his lovely book which I already wanted to purchase for quite some time. It were her pictures - seen in Becky Bee's Christmas Ornament Challenge 2011 - that drew me over the line :-) I would like to stitch one of his larger designs the coming years namely: La Selva di Ries Il Bosco di Bengtsson La Pineta Di Classe                      F...

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my 39th birthday! I never figured out whether mom did this on purpose or not ... just before Christmas (my birthday is never celebrated big time)! :-) I've received some money and a book coupon so I guess I'll do some stash enhancing ... cross stich, quilting or knitting ... what will it be?

Summary of what I've been doing in a nutshell (longish text so skip this if you don't feel like it :-):  Beginning of 2018: Moncarpacho workshop by Willyne Hamerstein (from her Millefiori Quilts 3 book) April 2018: start on "Doing the Rounds" by Thimblestitch - more or less halfway through now 2018: working on "Camelot" by Trish Harper - finished in June 2019 July 2018 - October 2018: SAL 100 Modern Quilt Blocks by Tula Pink (still have to sew all the blocks together but some block changes...
