A witch is flying...

This is a good period for witches, isn't it? LOL

This one is an old project that was resting in a corner. Last week I took it in my hands again, I finished it and made a little pillow.

it is now in my witches collection, among all the other "girls" that came out for the occasion from their boxes and are enjoying some fresh air before flying tonight :D

I have two other witches to be stitched. one began last Sunday... will her need 4 years to be finished as it happened to this one??? we'll see....

Finished!!! at last!

last year I had organized a SAL on this two patterns, 12 steps to stitch them all within Christmas (2012). 

I wanted to do even better: my mom has her birthday on the 27th of November and I wanted it to be a birthday/Christmas present... 

Well, it will be... in 2013 LOL. it took me a little more to complete the stitching work... just 9 further months more or less. :D

But I am very proud of the result! In this moment the work is out to be framed and I am looking forward the moment the worker will call me saying it is ready and I can go and fetch it ;-)

I will show you also the framed version, when it will be in my hands!!!

a smal cat

so... if someone follows my blog with a certain continuity, will probably start thinking I love cats... CORRECT!!! LOL

this is another small one I stitched in Spring but completed only last week-end:

 



I really like this pattern (Alice & co.) and have stitched it with a thread from Les Fils du Rhin. both pattern and thread were bought last year in Alsace, France where I went with two friends to visit a lovely embroidery fair.

a little work

I stitched this one with a 4 cupcake addicted hand dyed thread at the beginning of this month

and now I have made this to hang on one key of my new cupboard:

Cats

Cats are like chips: you can't have only one!!

isn't it true??? surely it is in my home!! I live with three cats and a fourth has choosen to "migrate" at the ground floor because she doesn't like the two newest one... so I really have 4 cats.

I have stitched this sentence with a hand dyed thread made by Heartstitch Designs, while the cat-buttons were made by 4 cupcake addicted. they are two Italian girls with a lot of creativity that create little treasures I like so much!!!

Margaret Sherry SAL

with some friends we were planning to make a nice surprise to a common friend who has 2 twin daughters that will be soon 2 y.o.

she loves Margaret Sherry's patterns, so the choice was almost obvious

I stitched this (and have done it as part of the SAL):

and here you can see all the things we prepared for the two children:

a little Cat-work made in a summer week-end

I have stitched this on a hot summer week-end and I have realized that this cat seems so much to my cat Birba, who is a calico kitty with her three colours that seems to change position each time you watch her... so this work has gained the name of Birba:

The thread is one of Les Fils du Rhin. I really like her threads full of colors and easy to be used.
