Stitching keeps going - and scanner is back

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. Finally my printing and scanning device (they are in the same device) is back! I have been worried sick, but now it works. It just needs to be done in different way than before. But stitching keeps going.
I can show you one picture, but it is not complete. It is partial.

There are two horses in the picture, but the whole picture is way too big to fit in my scanner, so this is only a partial picture.
I have another huge picture too. The time will tell if I scan it too. It does not matter if the new owner sees that. She has already seen it. But that horse picture's new owner has not seen it yet. I hope he does not peek.

Many stitches forward

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. I just watched one celebration program. During watching I stitched away. And oh boy, did that one Mystery Present make progress! Now, if only there were a skiing race or something to watch...that stitched picture would be stitched in no time. And after that I'd start my endless wait. What wait? I'll wait for the day when the weather is frosty enough, so that I can walk without slippery and can take that small picture to the local Framing Man. He knows what to do with it. I am sure it will look gorgeous, once he is done with it. But for now, stitching must go on.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. One other family I know...One of their sons is going to say "I do!" in November 2019. Nooooooooo! Family A's present 1 is not ready yet! Okay, okay, it has made quite a lot of progress, but it is not ready. I just force myself to stay calm and make one stitch at a time. The November couple's presents will be late. I can't avoid that. And that November couple...I may have to join with the groom's parents and send them a secret baby gift in case there will be a prince or a princess in the future after the wedding. If that happens, I've done the blanket in time. But let's take care of that young, young couple first, the couple that I've seen, but which has not engaged or said "I do!" yet.

No, no, no! I'll be overwhelmed!

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual.
I don't tell the exact details, but it seems one person I know is going to get engaged. I have not seen the ring yet. I have seen the girl, though. And now I stitch like a madwoman. Two presents must be done, and fast. One for engagement, one for the actual wedding. I have no idea when they happen, but I must be ready when they do happen.

Clematis - but no pictures

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual.
I keep stitching that Clematis. It has made quite a progress thanks to the fact I watch the morning tv. But soon it may be I must do a very hard operation for my trap. But my trap needs it. It is quick. I hope I'll get it done before the trap demands it. 3 h / 1 program / 1 day. That should be slow enough.

My current WIP

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual.
I have a strange flower to stitch. I don't know its' name in English. If you can help, I can tell you what has been printed on the canvas.
The designer or something like that seems to be Monika Design. That has been written on top.
On the left it says Made in W.Germany 100 cotton.
On the right side there are colors and their numbers.
On the bottom it says Clematis blau and 3040-157.
I have not found any flower with that name. I've tried to search, but no. Not such a name. I know a bit about what flower that could be. This feels so weird. But well, I've chosen to stitch this and I know exactly where this is going.
