My stitched bits

Sunday, November 15, 2009


Can't sleep it seems.... so I just took a look at my emails. I noticed there was a comment on the previous post in this blog. It was some stupid viagra spam from an anonymous moron. I just deleted it.
As of now I'll moderate all comments. I don't want such debilitating stuff on my blog.

It's November 11th today. Remembrance day of the Great War of 1914-1918.


Tomorrow my boyfriend and I are going to Ieper. We visited last year when it was 90 years ago and there were lots of people there from all over the world. Everything was so impressive that we decided to go back this year. But only for 2 days and not on the 11th as we just don't like crowds.
I'll write more about Ieper when we are back.

In the meantime I want to publish a picture of the Japanese girl I'm stitching at the moment.

Almost midnight.
Just wanted to say the SAL: Pied Piper of Hamelen started. BUT.... I just ordered my material beginning of the week in the UK and it hasn't arrived yet.
This is a picture of the finished SAL:



In the meantime I'm still stitching on another project, a freebie portrait of a Japanese Girl. Really nice!
I found it on this blog: www.bdcouture.over-blog.com (copy and paste to put it in your browser)
I don't have time at the moment to put up pictures but I will try just as soon as I can!
In fact, this was just a message to let you (who ?) know I'm still alive and kicking.
Hmmppppffff.... wanted to upload a smiley after my lasst sentence. That's not working properly.... yet another thing to figure out!



Guess I found out how to do it

Here I am again, and I'm still blabbering English.
I recently started stitching again and I decided to leave this blog in English. I also noticed there is another way to translate blog pages, using google. I'll have to figure out the way to put it on my blog, I'll do that in a bit...
As I said, I started stitching again, but I haven't touched my Night Queen yet. I don't intend to either. I just don't feel like stitching on that project.
I am going to try to participate in my first ever SAL! I found it on Anita's blog:
and it's called: "The Pied Piper of Hamelen". I still have to buy the material and I'm still not sure as to what colours I'm going to use, but I'll keep you all posted.
.... wondering who on earth is reading this blog.... lol
Bye for now!

Errrr.... seems I found out how to put this blog up with a possibility to translate. I'm clever... lol
The translation is not completely correct, but you do get to understand what I'm talking about. At least, I hope you do!

I think I'm going to change this blog in a rather drastic way.
Up till now I've been writing in English as this used to be a cross stitching blog and as most people reading this blog were either from the UK or from the US.
English isn't my native language though, as some may have noticed.
At the moment, I don't think many people are reading this blog and I would rather start to use it as a kind of diary of my every day life.
This every day life is situated in Belgium and so I'm switching languages.
As of now I will start to write in Flemish, which is my mother tongue.
It's been fun to write in English, but I think it's going to be easier to express myself in Flemish.
That's it for now. Talk to you later (in Flemish).

@*&%µ^+~£$µ# THIS ISN'T FUNNY!!!!!
I got up very early today as we MUST vote.
Walking to that bureau I came across my neighbours. They told me I could go back home as the computer isn't working.
Now I'll have to go back before 3pm and there will probably be loads of people there by then!!!
Why oh why is it still obligatory in Belgium to vote?
Don't get me wrong, if we didn't have to go, I would go! But now it's senseless. Half the people (or even more) don't give a hoot about this whole charade.
If we weren't obliged to go, only people who really care would go.
The resultst would be completely different!
But of course our present politicians wouldn't want that to happen.
So frustrating!!!

Haven't been here for a looooong time it seems! I wasn't even sure this blog still existed.
Must say I'm still very happy! Haven't done any cross stitching for ages though. Haven't even used my trike yet this year. Well, apart from riding 4km (!) with it.
Healthwise this year is not really 100% OK, but I'm managing quite good.
As of yesterday evening I'm on holidays! Yihaaa! I don't have to go to work for the next 3 weeks. And next thursday my boyfriend and I are leaving for Salou (Spain) for 10 days! Wish I was already there!
I should try and write some more here, but I'm not sure I'll find the time to do it.
Hakuna Matata!!!!

What on earth is this spam I have to read here? I really don't like that! That's all I have to say at the moment, other than I am still a very happy person and I'm tired and off to bed!
