July Goals

Selina | Monthly Goals | Saturday, 30 June 2007

wow, another month has gone by. I can’t believe how quickly time flies lately. But now to my goals for this time:

Stitchy:
- finish my part of the UFO I have here
- finish my Aireen
- send off my mini RR (won’t be able to finish it off on time, but that’s ok)
- send off my 4th IRR (won’t be able to stitch on it, but that’s ok)

College & this and that:
- learn for all tests on time and much … and pass them all ;)
- try some new recipes for food and cakes
- rest and have a wonderful holiday time

New design

Selina | Designing, School & Work, Stitching | Wednesday, 27 June 2007

I am working on a new series idea, but not sure how it will work out. It is stitched over one on 24ct. I can only work on it when the light is well, so I had to stop a while ago. So far it is looking really nice:

Thanks for your comments about my new designs. I stitched and finished those myself. The box finishing is copyright by Judy Odel so I am not able to share it with anyone, but the other finishing instructions will be avaiable at www.linabear.com for free download soon :)

I just thought about my test and oh boy. The first one is the worst. I can hardly answer any of the questions even with the script .. not talking about without. We were told the main topics and tomorrow will be the question hour, so I hope it will be better. I wish my brain was not so lazy and refuses to store information … so if anyone knows of any pills to take for the memory, let me know ;)

Blue Elegance - A Stitcher’s Toy Set:

Selina | Aireen, me | Sunday, 24 June 2007

I am really tired after a weekend of celebrating my dad’s birthday, having some drinks and chat with people.

The most heartbreaking thing was, that Aireen’s half-sister and niece came. Gina (Aireen’s half-sister, 9 years old) was sitting under the bench Andy and I were sitting on almost always. She licked my arm countless times and put her paws on my lap so she could lick my neck. I so wish that a) Aireen was still here or b) we could have a doggy. Since a) will not happen, there’s only b). However, before we know where we will move and when there’s no chance in getting a dog yet + we have no garden or anything …. :(

we … are … back …

Stitchy Happiness

Selina | Designing, Stitching | Thursday, 21 June 2007

Here’s the latest photo of my model. It should be done by the weekend - including finishing. Look here:

I received my needlebook in the mail today. It arrived when  I was at school, so I did not even know about it. However, there was something for us yesterday, so I went to the post office this morning. They did not find our package in the morning, so I went back in the evening and while the guy was searching for that package he found the one with my needlebook. Eventually he found the other one as well, so we have all our packages. Either way, the needle book is amazing. Love it :)

I am still struggling to get that ssl install. It’s a real pain in the ####, I can tell you. I do hope we’re in the final stages for it, though. Hopefully, keep your fingers crossed.  

A new model

Selina | Designing, School & Work, Stitching | Monday, 18 June 2007

started today and love it. (PS - I am so about to write I am loving it every time. Weird how mind controlling ads are). Either way, here it goes:

nb41.jpg

I got a 1.7 on one of my 8 exam - so yay. Much better than I would have thought, so I was in a happy mood. I was expecting a 3 at the best. I will also do a presentation and will get a final grade of 1.0 - YAY!!

I just finished some new freebies for the store, retailers and BB. Let’s see when I get a chance to actually do them and get it all ready. I wish my day had 50 hours :lol:

A little bike ride :)

Selina | Trips & Co | Sunday, 17 June 2007

I have felt really bad for a longer period of time today, but I am better now and can share some photos I took. Andy an I went on a little bike ride to the town center, went for a walk and som ice cream and then came back home :)

On our way back home, we passed a scary place. Well, it was not scary today, but hey .. it’s a church in the woods. The first time I have seen it, it was foggy and rainy .. it was scary, trust me.

Picture Attack

Selina | Stitching | Saturday, 16 June 2007

I beat New Super Mario Bros for DS all by myself. Yay  It was easier than I thought .. only took 30 lives .. lol ;)

Being so good,  got a new purse. It’s purple. Yep, extremely purple. Did not look this purple in the store, but I like it .. though it is one again larger than I actually planed on. I guess I like large purses :)

I also called it a night with my RR for this weekend. I made some good progress on it (guess because I did mainly half stitches ;)). I am not convienced I will finish it on time for sending out mid-July, but that’s ok. I can still finish it once it’s back.

I am in a knit-y mood .. but what could I knit? It’s summer, so all the scarves, hats and socks are sort of useless … maybe a little purse or my bunny pattern? No, not really … Ah well .. I guess that means back to stitching.

Happy Dance time

Selina | Designing, Stitching | Saturday, 16 June 2007

finished my new model. It turned out rather pretty, I believe. Now I will stitch for the rest of the day on my RR and tomorrow is model time again :)

just a quick one ..

Selina | Designing, Stitching | Friday, 15 June 2007

… before going to sleep. Here’s the progress of my new design. Was hoping to get it done, but I started off too late.

nb3.jpg

Selina | Designing, Stitching, me | Thursday, 14 June 2007

Today was a long day. Had two classes, then 2.5 hours off which was used by eating, sleeping and learning. Next was English, but we only did the first class and left for the secound. I felt - and still do feel - rather bad, esp headachy.

When I came home, I cooked something for Andy and me. Andy left for school and I do hope that he will come back soon. There was a thunder storm, and Snoopy was really scared. It was really bad. 

I also stitched some, but my headache made me just stop :( It is my own design, so there :)

RR

Selina | Stitching | Wednesday, 13 June 2007

Hubby is at school, and Snoopy is watching tv with me on the couch - or at least he did for a while.

Here’s the latest progress photo of my RR:

pp2.jpg

It’s still going slow, but then again I always have something more important than stitching going on … or I am too tired … or my head is not free. It’s so hard to see loved ones having to go through such horrible times .. especially when there’s absolutely nothing one can do to help    I do not know how to cope with this …

Seasonal Needle Book .. look!

Selina | Designing, Stitching | Wednesday, 13 June 2007

As some of you know, I joined the designer’s connection from Judy Odel over at justathought.net and I just received word that Judy has finished my piece. She just sent me some pictures over before going away to teach a class. So here they are:

It is now on it’s way to me and I am really excited to see it for myself. The photos are so beautiful :)
