Stitching Diva

just a quick note before bed..

i actually finished before my rained out camping trip .. but wanted to scan it before sharing and then i wasted ages trying to fix the colours and i have given up on that pipe dream..

scanners do not like yellow/orange tones
anyway here is my fiinished  Qs lady in the Meadow
she is stitched 1×1 on 28 ct jobelan 30155 stitches ( so a itty bitty one in the scheme of things)

i did a chunk of an ornament whilst i was wathing the rain at cradle mountain.. then got home and discovered i had lost the silk i was using.. so that sucks …
hopefully it is in the car… but i fear it is at cradle mountain

and would you believe when paul readmy blog he felt so bad he bought me a HDF GV for xmas…
so it seems whining can work….

and thankyou basia for nominating my blog for an award thingy.. i don’t understand what i do nxt .. but it was pretty cool ((hugs))

next … finishing Serenity….

Icame to post about stash lust and discovered i forgot to post my spot sampler update lasst week…

oops sorry….. So here it is.. i didn’t quite finish page ten, but i stitched sections of the below page so i reckon i got close anyway

there is a bigger picture HERE

i am plodding along with Lady in the meadow.. Rachel will finish hers before me..
problem is pot sampler updates keep occuring and i keep getting waylaid with haed business…
and using my wii fit ( at least an hour off my stitching a day) and i had two fairly non stitchy days this week as i had to have yet another back tooth out due to my TMJ issues… i will be a toothless crone soon.. and me being me  it would not stop bleeding then got infected , and i had to have a half day to go see my new specialist … sigh…
but i will get there…..

now onto stash lust and a little whine…
no onein my family undeerstands me… they have all started sooking about how hard i am to buy for for xmas… NO I AM NOT….. i am easy.. just that they do not rate any of my interests as their interests and therfore will not gift me things i am interested in..

recent conversation.
Paul… what do youwant for xmas/birthday….
me…. HDF gift voucher and/or GV to Colours Down Under or Traditional Stitches Or 123stitch..
Paul…. i’m not buying you stuff liek that…
me… pout… why not its what i want/need….
paul… its boring
Me… how about an audible gift cvoucher then….
paul.. nah thats crap too…

phone convo with Mum…
Mum.. its impossible to buy things for you…
me.. no it isn’t..
mum… well tell me what to buy then..
me… ask paul to help you buy an online GV for HDF or … etc
Mum… no… i don’t want to do that
me… SIGH…
Mum see youare impossible to buy for…
me( silent !!!!!!!!!!!) … how about an Itunes card….
Mum…. okay .. but its boring… i can’t just give you that…
Me… yes you can.. it will give me hours of audio book pleasure.. trust me

Jury is still out on that one.. i might have at least scored an audio book out of the process

see my family does not understand me… sigh

hmmm that turned nto a BIG whine .. sorry

stash lust…
Ibought my beloved Isabelle vautier Butterfly chart , but now she has gone and designed a new chart i must have…

Next stash lust.. The Drawn thread has released a second chart this year i really really want.. two in one year from them is something unique , the first one being Toccata 4 ( i asked paul for that for xmas as well.. he looked at me blankly and asked why)
