Blogoversary and plans for the New Year

I can't believe it but my blog has survived it's first year! I would've liked some more posts but that's life ... sometimes it's quite busy :-)

So what are the plans for next year? I'll be stitching :
  • the Santa's Village by Country Cottage Needleworks - I was too late to be included in the list of Stitching Santas Village together but I'll post my progress on this blog
  • an ornament each month so that I'll be able to decorate a lovely little tree, wreath or basket at the end of 2013 (you can never be too prepared) - more information about it is to be found here

  • try to stitch a Heaven and Earth Designs - I'm in a Facebook group called HAED Josephine Wall Cross Stitch
Titania and Oberon by Josephine Wall
  •  I would've liked to stitch two other HAED but I already have enough on my plate :-)!
 
Halloween Cats by Lesley Ivory and El Vacquero by Laurie Prindle

  • and everything else that catches my fancy/interest :-)!
I'm curious to see if I'll be able to do everything (or at least half of it :-)

Have a nice weekend!

Gefeliciteerd met je eerste blogverjaardag en dat er nog vele jaren moge volgen. Ik ben helemaal onder de indruk van je plannen voor het nieuwe jaar, ik vind de letterbak alleen al een heel project. Groeten, Nienke

Congratulations on your first blogaversary. I'll bookmark the ornament SAL, because the LHN sheep with virtues are on my wish list.

Favourite designers - Renato Parolin and Rovaris

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? I'll keep you posted!

Long time no see

Well it has been an awfully long time since I last posted here but I switched to Instagram (annsombel) a couple of years back (December 2016 to be exact) as I encountered some problems with posting on Blogspot and I didn't always know what to say. I kept following all of you who also have Instagram profiles but I admit that I'm missing the rest of you so ... I'll be posting here sometimes (let's say once a month or maybe a bit less) to keep you updated :-). 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...
