I will have to look for a new host. <br />In the meantime, if you need anything just leave a message and I'll get back to you!<br /><br />That's it for today.

I started stitching it on february 14th. <br />I've only been able to stitch 10 days in all as I've had loads of other stuff to do too. <br />My boyfriend has moved last weekend to a new house and I've helped him out. He's still rearranging his stuff at the moment and is coming over tonight to my place to stay for the rest of the weekend. <br />I went over to his new place on thursday and only came back yesterday evening. <br />At the moment I don't take any stitching stuff along when I go to his place, as there's still loads of other stuff that needs to be done first.<br /><br />Yesterday we went to a furniture centre and we bought a nice brandnew bedroom!!! <br />This is a picture of it (we only bought the bed, the wardrobe and both the bedside tables.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4GT8YJuhjcNbqLXqD5enFV-no42qC2J8QURa9wN4_XBNDuOMoIaL5yHHsyWj-Infyt68gZgDRopBkwIJM0O9_o5jgRsV5kwiJPf3ESUma-_ymK-SitMiAbWHVrWEFm-YVO19jc0J_wgH5/s1600/rocca_slpk_280_3drs_schuif10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4GT8YJuhjcNbqLXqD5enFV-no42qC2J8QURa9wN4_XBNDuOMoIaL5yHHsyWj-Infyt68gZgDRopBkwIJM0O9_o5jgRsV5kwiJPf3ESUma-_ymK-SitMiAbWHVrWEFm-YVO19jc0J_wgH5/s320/rocca_slpk_280_3drs_schuif10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583170150129384722" /></a><br /><br />Delivery will be only in 2 months time though.<br /><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3s0-oYUOYYFBtxOGQUNgmKdgqXLl8h0n0MR3IeuCn_txNxnob1HetWqy5uSE1gzlmI-5Qaobm6exTfSVxZkdCjsDkeg_2FtmVscTr44Vc3gPzTEpoQjUijEpn9nHGBIudLYGqIBArlbad/s1600/patience1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3s0-oYUOYYFBtxOGQUNgmKdgqXLl8h0n0MR3IeuCn_txNxnob1HetWqy5uSE1gzlmI-5Qaobm6exTfSVxZkdCjsDkeg_2FtmVscTr44Vc3gPzTEpoQjUijEpn9nHGBIudLYGqIBArlbad/s320/patience1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583167723858134178" /></a><br /><br />Going to try and stitch a bit at the moment! <br />Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a nice and sunny weekend!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvSXJLbvb3Ww7TQYy7KMvU2Kz0omrtF1Zi6RJye_j7c02VdjKimp5OxZscSKNvqZUEz2YnFEztm2dxnIj-sBoHhmeCsaLGVnuP0bpcrs5AQS4-OLyuVrDnuUhWyMA6jbpXTIdcPdciqrNj/s1600/b4957573151996f100bee0401324712d_BCweekendsun0508.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 156px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvSXJLbvb3Ww7TQYy7KMvU2Kz0omrtF1Zi6RJye_j7c02VdjKimp5OxZscSKNvqZUEz2YnFEztm2dxnIj-sBoHhmeCsaLGVnuP0bpcrs5AQS4-OLyuVrDnuUhWyMA6jbpXTIdcPdciqrNj/s320/b4957573151996f100bee0401324712d_BCweekendsun0508.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583171348340682114" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/364/3328BFCF743942E14B80A128ECAFD180.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>dani263http://www.blogger.com/profile/14925935983001719959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724979203115497447.post-58612879655741441732011-02-22T16:45:00.027+01:002011-02-24T23:04:45.125+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQAuuJjfp6jnlC059g6dTFLHOdl_f_dCYS_7ikGyuRQc1rVdmtAE_j_XZ5Nyt76C6wo1IRsXNFsboWLyq7tBfB1KAKnafwAvOfAqrWVDDWkiQ08eWOp8ePgnlc80gDh2TcsZLkJXcCwRXr/s1600/Straddled+Full+Stitch.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQAuuJjfp6jnlC059g6dTFLHOdl_f_dCYS_7ikGyuRQc1rVdmtAE_j_XZ5Nyt76C6wo1IRsXNFsboWLyq7tBfB1KAKnafwAvOfAqrWVDDWkiQ08eWOp8ePgnlc80gDh2TcsZLkJXcCwRXr/s320/Straddled+Full+Stitch.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576542183470432530" /></a><br /><center><strong>The joy of straddled stitches!!!</strong></center><br /><a href="http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Confus/roule-yeux.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 15px; height: 15px;" src="http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Confus/roule-yeux.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><strong><em>The pictures of the diagrams used in this message are all property of Heritage Stitchcraft who gave me permission to use them.</em></strong><br /><br />Last week I started stitching a brand new project: The Hawker Hurricane I want to give as a present to my nephew.<br />I had installed myself on my couch with a nice cup of coffee on the side table and my cats purring away next to me.<br />I started winding bobbins, quite a lot actually, but that didn't put me off!

I had already noticed the chart wasn't the easiest one I had ever looked at, but as long as I concentrated I would surely be able to stitch it all flawless.<br />And then I noticed 3 symbols in 2 squares and I lost it! I noticed even more of these weird symbols and I lost it even more. Before going to bed I learned about the existence of straddled stitches and I lost it completely!!!<br />I am used to the English language when it comes to stitching but my brain got really foggy when I tried to understand about these stitches. I just couldn't understand how it worked.<br />I tried to get help from google but all I got was messages asking about how to make them stitches so I clearly wasn't alone in the fog.<br />I also tried to get help on 2 stitching forums but I got contradicting answers.<br />Someone pointed me out to this tutorial: <a href="http://www.hcrafts.com/counted_cross_stitch_tutorial.html">Heritage Stitchcraft</a>, but it was of no avail for me.<br />I had never imagined cross stitching to be stressfull, but it got to the point it made me so nervous my friend told me to put it aside for a bit as I was starting to go gaga!<br /><br /><a href="http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Confus/crie-tombe-4829.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 59px; height: 53px;" src="http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Confus/crie-tombe-4829.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />I did mail to Heritage Stitchcraft however and got an answer from them. They were going to send me some diagrams as it was rather difficult to explain in words.<br />I was relieved I was going to get the proper answer but I was annoyed as that meant I had to wait for the postie to arrive with it. <br />I put everything aside and started stitching something rather easy whilst waiting for the postman.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnS3FOM8JylA3vsLdysv1o93zKgxKCDJAu76PQ0bK1_3qfPss517w5z5iDIOhuQ4noBoJ-7hcpPocVmZYMUw4K1YVCkonbHPkIKWzQ-WuinyHks48BNxtR049SLEnOlwgXyQbM5pGTZaW6/s1600/160211.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnS3FOM8JylA3vsLdysv1o93zKgxKCDJAu76PQ0bK1_3qfPss517w5z5iDIOhuQ4noBoJ-7hcpPocVmZYMUw4K1YVCkonbHPkIKWzQ-WuinyHks48BNxtR049SLEnOlwgXyQbM5pGTZaW6/s320/160211.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576558126778252194" /></a><br />Yesterday evening I got home from work and I discovered a nice parcel in my mailbox. <a href="http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Divers/E_JUMP_1.GIF"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 158px; height: 50px;" src="http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Divers/E_JUMP_1.GIF" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />In it I found great diagrams that depict very clearly how to go about making these straddled stitches.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxTnmxstgcvCHvMogI9tY2hTKLPEwUxntP77PJkst46tQ1n-_R_UYd8tPurTV86RgDhULAO3VMC_76l7efyNRJ82a4maTlW_t4m3lgpkTPK2BeogBBtA_rut7BqRQM_Sxellk5XYfhac30/s1600/Heritage+Stitchcraft+Help.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxTnmxstgcvCHvMogI9tY2hTKLPEwUxntP77PJkst46tQ1n-_R_UYd8tPurTV86RgDhULAO3VMC_76l7efyNRJ82a4maTlW_t4m3lgpkTPK2BeogBBtA_rut7BqRQM_Sxellk5XYfhac30/s320/Heritage+Stitchcraft+Help.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576561673491223810" /></a><br />One of these diagrams, the most important one, I put at the top of this message. <br />I took pictures of the other diagrams and I am encolsing them here as I think they can be usefull, not only to me but to other stitches as well!<br />Everybody knows how to make a full cross stitch, but still...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2KwrlgEXI9VYPbeII714BKtFjvnqE4nXquZ3Vp4IeNhgoTmtTy-44TIZGhbZRx3lfYBuM-IPtqdGtEx-B2dllUiFfjhfWJJH0u97-c0NKwwhVHIg5rKz71WpimpPEz9Ps_YcRnIlprNes/s1600/Full+Cross+Stitch.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2KwrlgEXI9VYPbeII714BKtFjvnqE4nXquZ3Vp4IeNhgoTmtTy-44TIZGhbZRx3lfYBuM-IPtqdGtEx-B2dllUiFfjhfWJJH0u97-c0NKwwhVHIg5rKz71WpimpPEz9Ps_YcRnIlprNes/s320/Full+Cross+Stitch.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576561316114485986" /></a><br />This is what horizontal half stitches look like. <br />Good to know because I thought if I had 2 symbols in 1 square it meant I had to blend threads....

And I will put up some more freebies too as we go along.<br /><br />I've got to quit for now. I've got some housework chores to attend to (laundry...

But, rest assured, my cat design will appear very soon!<br />But, as Valentine is near I decided to pamper you with some singing hearts! In a small grid version and a bigger one. It's up to you which you prefer and which you want to stitch. I personally like the big chart and I might stitch it, though I haven't got the foggiest idea when that would be... At the moment I'm stitching another freebie of mine to show you somewhere next month and after that's finished I have to start stitching this Hawker Hurricane as a present for my nephew who'll be 8 next month and who's just discovered WWII and it's airplanes. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzI2xvIxfo3kSLpBsYviHJgBvoRA9wWMJoPCnB2KX0-uaT_v1TR8oydf3LZtBQneXHEhlcp24ztm0ldppbUAquaOwP6-ACS5IYqG9IK4saB4s7BBw7rzXNPhzQZN-G7ujhhJLN3VleEH6n/s1600/Hawker+Hurricane.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 221px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzI2xvIxfo3kSLpBsYviHJgBvoRA9wWMJoPCnB2KX0-uaT_v1TR8oydf3LZtBQneXHEhlcp24ztm0ldppbUAquaOwP6-ACS5IYqG9IK4saB4s7BBw7rzXNPhzQZN-G7ujhhJLN3VleEH6n/s320/Hawker+Hurricane.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564365453408737234" /></a><br />Enough about cats and airplanes for now.

And that will last untill the day I die.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCJvMmSmYS3LqHFslcuMP3txKgu1PIwvXOvk19GBPpf3l6FO8Q22ZHMLVyXvt0voTnGSJ_6kHEcHk1Jt3wjjQmFm74EP2L0Vfr785I44Z8voqp5I0kq9A-TpKXD3EcA4t8moLDn5AY9-05/s1600/white-rose-wallpapers_5642_1600x1200.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCJvMmSmYS3LqHFslcuMP3txKgu1PIwvXOvk19GBPpf3l6FO8Q22ZHMLVyXvt0voTnGSJ_6kHEcHk1Jt3wjjQmFm74EP2L0Vfr785I44Z8voqp5I0kq9A-TpKXD3EcA4t8moLDn5AY9-05/s320/white-rose-wallpapers_5642_1600x1200.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556830914644158770" /></a><br /><br />But I still want to wish all of you a Happy New Year and I hope it will have loads of stitches in it as well as good health and lots of love!<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/364/3328BFCF743942E14B80A128ECAFD180.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>dani263http://www.blogger.com/profile/14925935983001719959noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724979203115497447.post-33815766711302374552010-12-24T13:58:00.006+01:002010-12-24T14:18:13.332+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv4LA2Know2L_3cTs0alZE9hiT-XKtOpnkbX9s9NfrXrb7ktxv_32jGItDpnMjafFWIea510dubAKCqCI4tByn8LmL4hh83lFK1Ch2hcezz-lUUCHk0QZHS48FSUUTU_wzgG0qlGhCuLL4/s1600/My+House-2+%2528800x462%2529.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 185px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv4LA2Know2L_3cTs0alZE9hiT-XKtOpnkbX9s9NfrXrb7ktxv_32jGItDpnMjafFWIea510dubAKCqCI4tByn8LmL4hh83lFK1Ch2hcezz-lUUCHk0QZHS48FSUUTU_wzgG0qlGhCuLL4/s320/My+House-2+%2528800x462%2529.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554234949104093746" /></a><center>Need I say more? <br />Errr.... picture is a bit small it seems... click on it and you'll see more! </center><center>Happy Christmas everybody!!!</center><a href="http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/F%EAtes/emoticone-sapin-noel-284893.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 110px; height: 110px;" src="http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/F%EAtes/emoticone-sapin-noel-284893.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/364/3328BFCF743942E14B80A128ECAFD180.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>dani263http://www.blogger.com/profile/14925935983001719959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724979203115497447.post-89179601454020920232010-12-22T12:31:00.003+01:002010-12-22T12:41:23.068+01:00<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v395/dani263/Pic432.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 387px; height: 351px;" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v395/dani263/Pic432.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><center>SEASON'S GREETINGS TO EVERYBODY <br />WHO STUMBLES UPON THIS BLOG!!!</center><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/364/3328BFCF743942E14B80A128ECAFD180.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>dani263http://www.blogger.com/profile/14925935983001719959noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724979203115497447.post-50575906849555768482010-12-20T22:52:00.004+01:002010-12-20T23:12:52.152+01:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDiB6Ecv0dacBhc_3bLBeKSSHWh2Ai0Q5_myzYo-oLER0BuAQWSKvDyYyYV8_N56Bztsj4pE1ZwNtuw37HtIEjIGoL8K5uHBL2AsyecRJkWTsia_XwWP-wRhm1gJXwMRBL7giNQYqvCQt/s1600/Red+Rose+dec+2010-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 277px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDiB6Ecv0dacBhc_3bLBeKSSHWh2Ai0Q5_myzYo-oLER0BuAQWSKvDyYyYV8_N56Bztsj4pE1ZwNtuw37HtIEjIGoL8K5uHBL2AsyecRJkWTsia_XwWP-wRhm1gJXwMRBL7giNQYqvCQt/s320/Red+Rose+dec+2010-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552885924144137746" /></a><br /><center><big>WOW... 2 entries in one evening!!! ...

It seems I just lost my stitching bug completely.<br /><br />A week ago my next door neighbour from accross the street asked me if I wanted to help her out a bit. <br />As it's almost Christmas, her daughter had asked her to make some towels decorated with aïda band for her little girl. <br /><br />I almost paniced when I heard my neighbour ask me for help... I didn't feel like stitching and even if I started I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish it in time. <br />But I was willing to give it a try. <br />My neighbour helps me out to feed my cats when I'm away, so I couldn't see me say "no" in the first place.<br /><br />She gave me all the supplies I needed and she had already made a grid with her granddaughter's name. <br />She had cross stitched the name on the first towel and I said I would take over and stitch the rest, 1 more towel and 2 face cloths. <br /><br />Her granddaughter had wanted horses on the aïda bands too, but we just couldn't find any that were small enough to fit. <br />I have quite a number of books and leaflets and I was lucky enough to stumble upon some horseshoes that looked nice,that would fit and that my neighbour liked as well. <br /><br />So I stitched and stitched and stitched and.... IT'S FINISHED!!!<a href="http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Content/youpi-12.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 31px; height: 36px;" src="http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Content/youpi-12.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a> My neighbour stitched the bands on the towels and just came over to show me the results.

So now I have to sit on camping chairs until next saturday when they deliver my new ones. <br />Cross stitching whilst sitting on those camping chairs is not really easy nor comfy so I'm not very happy when I'm home in the evenings.<br />What's more, the weather is getting better so I did go for a short ride on my trike yesterday evening. I only did 4 km's as I don't want to overdo it to begin with. I haven't used my bike at all last year and my physical condition is a big ZERO!!! <br />The result of all this is a bit similar to what the picture looks like.<br />I hope you are feeling better and have a nice day!<br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/364/3328BFCF743942E14B80A128ECAFD180.png" style="border: 0 !important; background: transparent;"/></a>dani263http://www.blogger.com/profile/14925935983001719959noreply@blogger.com0
