New releases

Hi all,

First of all, thank you for all your kind comments on my blog posts last year! I don't have always the time to answer you personally but I highly appreciate you and your thoughts. I wish you all a very healthy and creative year with all the things you wish for!

And now the things stitching wise ... Recently I've bought the Shabby Advent Calendar (which will be for next year) - from Cuore e Batticuore.


I've just learned that she released something similar for spring. I sent her a message a couple of weeks ago that I found it a shame that there were way too less cross stitch designs for Easter/spring (when you compare with Halloween or Christmas) ... maybe she listened :-) ... Here it is, the Shabby Spring Calendar:


Also found another lovely set of advent stitchings via Carin who is currently working on them. They are called "Advent Animals" and are published as freebies (one each month) by Brooke's Books. Have a look.


Plenty of things to keep me stitching the coming weeks/months :-) ... that is if I can liberate my time because I've found a - new to me game app - because of my eldest DD who told me to have a look. Normally I'm not a great online player but guess what happened ... I'm hooked! ;-). Whe're talking about "Hay Day" here. Be warned ... have a look at your own risk - it's highly addictive!!!



Have a great week!

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...
