Selina’s craft world

Here he comes. He’s so cute I am caught up now and need to wait for the next 3 letters/numbers.

There’s one question coming up: What to do now?

- finishing the 3. IRR to send off - Did it
- finishing the bear I started knitting - nope, was close, though. Only ears mising
- stitching at least one Tatty Teddy on my afghan - stitched one or 1.5
- knitting a scarf for Helene - no, but did one for my grandmom .. probably starting the next one today, though
- finishing the Christmas Tree of Secret Santa - no, but made a good progress
- finishing April for my Bday Calendar - no, I think this is going to be an UFO

Additional:
- stitched March Challenge twice
- started and am sort of caught up with the Dog ABC
- started with watergarden

Should be worth a happy dance, or?

It’s a German Sheppard - hope I spelled it right. He does not look right to me, which I think is because a) the face looks weird and b) I do not like the colours I picked too much. maybe I will give him a tongue or something …

I just got my paypal invoice and paid it, so I should be able to start the Stitching Leporello late next week or so. I cannot wait. The outside designs are 4 inches in square, so it should not take too long to stitch Of course, there’s the beading …

Tomorrow, I will stitch the G Dog and then start with a new Tatty Teddy. I already decided on which one will be stitched next

Here’s the number 4 for the dog ABC. It’s another dog bowl. The plan is, that I stitch the G tomorrow and H on Sunday, so I am caught up again.

I added all beads and crystals in the middle and now really can’t do anything without my DMC floss anymore - too bad. I do hope it arrived when I get back home on Monday/Tuesday. Meanwhile, I will stitch on Dog ABC and maybe another Tatty Teddy.

That’s how far I got with beading today. I do think it’s rather nice - and the gold fish is so cute

I just got added to the Stitching Leporello Book Online class from Chatelaine I am so excited. The first pattern is up already since 1st April, but I can’t start stitching. ECS is missing one skein for the kit, but I talked to them yesterday and they’d send everything they have off now. Hopefully they email me the PayPal invoice soon. It’s one of now two emails I am eagerly waiting for …

Now I am done with all the silk in the middle. There’ll be more silk used on 4 edges, but it’d require some counting and I do not want to mess it up. I will start beading as soon as I am done with this lovely, little post.

I was being artistic and created a logo for my blog. I included things that are my world From left to rigth: My first self-designed cross stitch SAL (alas my love for cross stitching), my first self-designed knitted animal (alas my love for knitting), my dog Aireen, my teddy bear couple (alas my love for teddy bears and making them) and my lovely bf. It also reflects my love for nature - alas a pic of the sunrise.

I hope you will enjoy it

I still ache and feel bad, but ah well. It’s only the first day I am home, so nothing is lost yet. Has not been a great day for Andy and me either - fighting with internet connection. No fun, esp if one has to work.

Here’s my today’s Watergarden. I am almost done with all silks in the midle and will then have to put it away until I have my DMC floss. So I plan beading tomorrow and then move on to the dog ABC

I have been not able to do anything yesterday, alas no blog entry. I was at work, went to my home, went back to work, went back to my home, went back to work and then went to my parents. Surely too much travelling when being so sick, but not everything goes planned. I was too weak to stitch.

Now to today: I was at the doc, got my sickness and all avices. Then I went to work, gave them an update and discussed our options. Then I went to the apartment to get some things. And now I am at my parents again. Glad I am finally settled.

Here’s what I got to stitch today. Not too much, but quite a bit being so sick. Sadly, my DMC did not get to my home before I left. So I will not get it before Monday/Tuesday.

I worked basically all day more or less on watergarden. Not much to do and it was fun. I really like how it stitches …

I feel really bad today. No idea why. For those who ever fell on their head, that’s how mine is feeling since hours - ringing in my head, “seeing stars”, pains and that sort of things. In addition to feel rather sickly and paleness. I do no think I fell on my head.

As already said, I just could not resist to start it anymore. I just love working with silks. It stitches rather quick and I am really pleased with my stitching.

.. is another cutie I just love this ABC. I already got the next 3, but I will do those at work ;).

I am sitting outside and it’s a very beautiful, sunny day. Thank goodness for great working wireless DSL

Sadly, I did not get to finish this dog. I got sidetracked by watching something. Ah well. Tomorrow will be happy dance time as I will have caught up then and the new ones won’t come until Sunday, so tomorrow should be happy dance day and start for watergarden
