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.

Let's stitch, shall we?

Ready to fly and a new project

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. The Swans are ready to fly. And once they do, their first pit stop is my local, trustworthy Framing Man's shop. After that they will fly to their new home.

I have also started a new project. It is called "Dark Lilac". It's a "my condolences" - present for a woman, who lost her husband. I have met the widow once, and she has no idea I have this plan. I can't change the past, but I can show her that her grief is not 'a shrug of shoulders' kind of thing to me.
You may be interested about how it looks like. I have not stitched a lot, but I can show you what I have stitched.

On to the next project

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. This is called "Lonely Red Rose". This should become a "I'm truly sorry for your losses" present for a friend, who has lost both her FIL and grandmother back to back. I can't replace her loss, but I can show her I care. I hope she gets the message.

Another WIP for processing

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. This is "Sorry for your loss" gift for an elderly friend far in the north. She lost her husband last year. I feel bad for her. When I found this and one darker canvas, I knew both of them had to be "My condolences" kind of gifts, and that is what this one will be, once I've put the last stitch in place.
You may ask, if I knitted between this and the LK. Oh yes I did, but that is a part of a project, so I had to save it. I will probably send it away as soon as I have all the parts in containers. It's easier that way. But here's the project I call simply "Lilacs".

They left with Postman Pat

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. A few days ago I heard, that the trustworthy framing man had framed the pictures I had sent him. I picked them up today and sent them to their forever homes. Well, one of them...I just took it into one certain mail box. I sure hope she will find it soon and checks the tag I attached. The tag tells her, who the future owner of the picture really is. Poor framing man is in trouble with me, but I must keep stitching. Soon he must frame a big picture. But that is another story. I hope that canvas will get a nice frame too, even I think he may have a little difficulties to choose the color of the frame. But every time he has chosen just the right color. I believe he will do the same with that big picture. If my math is right, I must stitch 4 more pictures and send 1 more picture, but the one I send...it is not going to the framer man. It will travel to a friend of mine, who will live quite far away from here. She knows what to do with it, I am sure about that.

What a terrible mistake!

Hi, dear readers!
Here I sit again, talking about my needlepoint projects as usual. Look at this picture! Isn't it horrible? I made a big mistake with it, and now I try to masquerade it, so that it would look like a design - element instead of a monstrous mistake it is.

What I am going to stitch after The Praying Child is done


Hello dear readers,

Here I am, typing about my needlepointing as usual. The Praying Child has made some progress, but I have no pic of it right now. Instead I have a pic of the canvas I want to stitch next. And this one asks a lot of patience. Just have a look at this.
