This and that

Hi all,

Three weeks since my last post! Shame on me!!! It's not that I didn't want to post or that I didn't have inspiration but I have had soooo many things on my plate the last couple of weeks that I simply didn't find the time nor energy.

We celebrated the anniversary of my eldest DD (8 years now) with two parties - one for us adults and one for DD's girlfriends :-).

On Monday I'm following a sewing course (remember the image of tissues a couple of posts ago) and on Thursday it's knitting time!

This doesn't mean that I haven't been busy on the crafting front. Soo ... what am I up to? Lots and lots of things!

Sewing: still working on my skirt (hey it's only a couple of hours each week)

Knitting: working on the second part of this vest which is called "Medieval). I just love those cables on the front!
 
I also love this sweater and think that I'll get some materials to make it - in another colour. Imagine a deep red bordeaux :-)
 
Drops pattern 117-2


Cross stitch: already thinking of Easter. I will try to stitch some ornaments and finish them off before spring sets in :-).

Prairie Schooler Vintage Eggs

Also planning on a couple of other charts from the Prairie Schooler like :
 
 
 
That's it for now! I'll post progress soon ...
 
P.S.: I haven't started anything yet from my stash bust in January (see previous post)! :-)

All the Prairie Schooler eggs are wonderful to stitch and they are so cute all together in a little basket. Have fun stitching them.

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...
