Selina’s craft world

.. is back in action!! I decided to have a go at the writing, as this is a huge part, but only takes a little while. In fact, I only stitched for a little while today and got almost all the lettering done.

Stitchy:
- finish Secret Santa
- finish the 4th IRR
- work on some models
- finish my STASH list

Knitting:
- finish the pair of socks I am working on

Other:
- work on my thesis
- do my presentation

Though I was staying home, today was rather stressful. I did most of the dishes, cleaned up and washed three batches of clothes (well, you know .. the washing machine did most of it :)). I also did some brownies for us, cooked lunch and worked. The only thing I did not do was doing my presentation, but I will be working on it tomorrow .. I want to show it to the proff before having to present it on Thursday next week.

Here’s the little progress I made on the RR (does not show so well in the photo because I stitched mostly while). I think I should be able to finish it on time to send it. I also came up with what to do with the biscornu exchange I joined, but can’t say so yet.

Off now to email my friend. She was on holiday for 2 weeks and I still did not get around to email her

… for today. I hope to get it done tomorrow, so I can send it off soon. Need some other stitching and knitting to do as well.

I feel pretty lousy. Must have a stomach bug with headache or something. That’s no fun. I do hope to get over with it soon.

I finally finished something - my monkey socks which will be given either to my mom or grandmom on Christmas. Sorry for the strange photo, I had to wear them in order to take a decent photo

finally - after all the struggle I went through with my old host and then moving the store - my new patterns are out and also the finishing instructions for my Stitchy Travel Bag. I especially like the Christmas Ornaments (followed by rose garden, lavender garden and sand diamond)

I started working on a RR yesterday and there’s my photo of today after my text. It is a rather dull thing to stitch having only one colour so far in one giantic blog and no colour variations. It is due on the 1st December so it will be done.

and my socks are almost done too. I did not have a happy dance since a month ago. Pretty scary

my hands are hurting a wee bit from either holding the RR fabrics or knitting, so I am shutting down. Hope you’re all great today.

.. coming soon We set up our tree, hung up my wall hanging and got the Santas out. It is pretty neat. More photos are here :)

I finished moving the store and now - FINALLY - figured out the issues I had with logging into my family photos. Now all there is to move is our forum gallery. Off to stitching and/or kniting.

… of my lovely needleroll. I think it turned out great, love the beads and colours I decided on. You can still join in by letting me know

As for other news, if you use bloglines my new posts do not show up for some reason. I thought it was because of the constant database error messages, but I guess that’s not why. Google reader, however, does show my new posts.

from Virpri as a PIF gift, a lovely teddy bear ornament. I loved it so much, I hung it right up in our living room. Thank you for your wonderful gift, I love it

Okay I had it with webhosts for a long time.

Mine is unwilling/unable to repair the MySQL databases, so I keep getting error messages all the time. My store is useless, the blog’s feeds are hardly being updated (no one comments anymore) and whatsoever else. I am beyond upset - especially since I have that problem for almost a week now.

Additionally, I am trying to get my parents website online again, but no chance in hell they would transfer the domain name or do anything to help. I just sent them a cancellation of all services email. They better accept and give me my money back.

*rant over* Maybe I will get some stitching done sometime tonight.  

Here is the first photo of my needleroll that I am stitching with some friends on www.linabear.com/talk. You can still join by letting me know that you’d like to take part - even if you’re not registered at the forum. I will add the beads after all the stitching is done. There’s a little bit of it missing, which is the table cloth under the pot, but I should be able to finish tomorrow.

I added my DMC floss list to my STASH (click ). I will add the Waterlillies, too. Please check it out. I am not 100% done, but I should be able to finish it in a little bit.

I have no photos for you. I am sort of Santa’ed out .. if you know what I mean. I was trying to knit some on my socks, but only got a row done due to the constant anoyance (all my databases were completely gone at one point) and complaint tickets I go through with these servers. I hope they finally find the error and fix it soon. Meanwhile, if you get weird error message, just refresh until it loads fine. That’s what I am doing.

I do not know if anyone noticed or not, but in the sidebar is now a link to my wishlist as well as one to my STASH list. The later mentioned is by far not completed, but my Tatty Teddies are in there now.  More to follow soon. 

I am settling down with some hot wine now while watching some tv on the couch with hubby and bunny.  

ETA: Oh, I almost forgot. The pattern for the needleroll SAL can now be found on my BB. It only shows for those who signed up, so if you’d like to join in jump over and do so

he is now about 66% done.
