That's why I don't have time to write...

Not only write but make photos also...
Shame on me! I gave away so many my crafts and always forgot to make photos… Good part – all my gourds, paints and needlework adapted by good people. I love to come at my friends homes and see my work. I feel so honored then!

I finished and framed this two few days ago.
Yesterday was looooong and little crazy day. Good one, in fact. Early morning I have time to clean our house (it is always little sloppy). Then Birthday girl asked me to drop her to the Panera. While she enjoyed chatting with friends, I drove to the goodvill. Gosh ! My lucky day! I bought few absolulely lovely bone china tea cups and sousers. Roses, roses and again roses!


New china match my rosy pitcher! Oh, I LOVE it!
Then came my sister-in-law and her hubby. He is THE Super Man! He installed security cameras in our house. Our property was vandalize few times lately and I getting too (is it right to use this world?) paranoid… Super handy-man Bobby install four cameras while I made lunch - so quick, I cant believe! It looks so simple when he did, but I newer will be able to do it - what a wonderful talent! I always admire people like a Bobby - crafty, hardworkind and very, very kind!
Sure I never have egough good time with my sis! Newer enough hugs… I wish one day we would live close to each other, and have more time to spend together. She has one of my samplers now, of course, with the bird and flowers! I started this sampler in her garden couple weeks ago, seating just in front of her beautiful garden house. What a good memories for both of us!
Finally, already after 10 pm watched old and good Russian movies with my birthday girl and I painted more gourds. I think she still remember few of this movies, it was fun to see her repeating some phrases. She has about 50 calls from her friends. Sure – she spent couple hours talking with her boy-friend.
She will back to Chicago tomorrow. I think my daughter in-love now... (ooops! My life in danger now!) I am so happy for her...
And there is one of my new gourds. With bunnies. I am in a "bunny mood" lately. I painted more yesterday, but I didn't make photo yet. Next time!

One more done and one more to go!

I don’t have time and energy to write today – busy, busy!
However, I did spend some time stitching yesterday evening and finally another heart. As you can see, I have nice trio now.

Ta-dah!

a-dah! YesterdayI finished another heart and framed it. Actually it was after midnight, so technically it was today.

Sweet Mary from Across the Pond left a comment “you must get more rest” – I know, thank you for caring, Mary! I told it myself every morning, but then in evening I can’t stop… Excitement of new project is too big, I simply can’t stop …And I always have couple more projects to start… There is a monogram N for the next heart I will do tonight:
Yesterday my husband told me something what makes me smile. A can’t believe! When he was a small kid, he was afraid even to open “Alice in Wonderland” because he was terrified to see illustrations. Especially this one - Alice with looooong neck!

Oh, honey, if you will bad to me one day….

It is funny but sad in some way… For me this book was one of the best adventures, for him – source of the most horrifying dreams…

moment to spare, so I'm here writing another post.
Couple days ago I found stunning blog, unfortunately it is in French. (I don’t speak French at all – what a shame!) However I can enjoy photos – it is understandable! Design and choice of colors absolutely incredible! Awww, I wish I can be so good… Shown below a few picks from blog named EHOUIMAPOVLU7

Finally I finish part cross stitch with the birds, but still don’t have any idea what to do with it. Oh, well! It can wait!

I also started another heart for Valentines and I can see some progress.

Day off

We have snow last Friday, so much snow! Whole 3 inches – make me smile. I am Russian girl, I know what it’s mean to have lot of snow. However, out company decide to give us day off – what a joy! It seems like I had vacation.

I drove to Ann Arbor and spent two wonderful days with my doter. She is delightful, full of energy and projects. Despite her brain surgery, she doing more then well at university – she will have TWO diplomas next year! And she looks so beautiful and healthy. I pray so hard every day, I hope her tumor newer will grow back, I hope it newer ever will turn to be malignant… She sure loose weight after all, now she is size 2, I guess. So we did some shopping for her, we stop for long-long dinner at Panera; it is place to take your laptops and browse… And we talk, talk a lot about her dreams, her life, everything what happened in past couple weeks. It seems to me that I have one of the happiest days in my life…

And I even have time to do some needlepoint too. There are two finished projects – heart for Valentine’s Day and sheep with snowflakes. Both inspired by internet search, mostly it was French blogs this time.
