Christmas Give away at Between Crosses

I'm fond of presents and the Christmas magic. I came across this Give Away project by Nina so if you want to try your luck as well, here's the link to this beautiful blog. http://xszemkozt.blogspot.com/2009/10/christmas-giveaway-from-me-to-one.html

Another present in cross stitch

For a dear friend of mine I completed starting from a design by Windy Willows. I turned it into a small cushion.

Birthday for a Taurus

When my daughter celebrated her birthday last May, I completed the lovely Taurus design I found on http://aliolka.blogspot.com/2009/08/blog-post.html.

I love these designs (like so many others :) and I think my Taurus turned out lovely too.

All Saint's Day

It used to be the day when everyone went to the graveyard to bring flowers to their beloved ones that had started the last long journey. Maybe it still is for many people all around the world, but in my little place on this world it's not the one and only thing to do on this very day.

I lit a candle for my loved ones and intend to watch a movie with the kids this afternoon. Meanwhile I'm finally paying some attention to my blog. SO many crafts I finished over the years aren't published yet and I'm defenitely starting on that at last!

Sully Monster slippers

When someone asked me if I could knit a pair of Monster slippers for her hubby I fully agreed! I love knitting and designing something new is so adventurous!

Just recently I finished another pair of Monster slippers with the theme Sully from Monsters & Co. I liked the way they turned out and I want to share this photo with you. Please let me know what you think!

Halloween is approaching FAST! Creepy times are nearly upon us again! I love those dark and spooky evenings while I'm tucking in my seat near the burning wood place, sipping from hot chocolate and reading a nice book. I'm happy Halloween is getting more popular each year as till about 10 years ago one wouldn't discover any decorations anywhere. Now there are pumpkins before each door and shops display all kind of decorations. I would love to have them all! Oh I'm soooo greedy!
Talking about being greedy...take a look at the following website http://pumpkinpatchprimitivequiltshoppe.blogspot.com/2009/10/its-happy-halloween-giveaway.html
I'm sure you'll know what I mean! I'm going to try my best to gain those wonderful fabrics! They look fabulous and I can hardly wait to use them in all kind of ideas. Oh please let me be lucky! And...by the way...for those who want to try as well : go and read the instructions on the Pumpkin Patch Primitives! You won't regret it but ...be quick!

Computers are great when they do what they want you to do. Mine still must be taught somehow. I've been out of cyberspace for another long time but I'm here again. June has not been a memorably good month .

Just one happy event I should share! In early June our chicken Koki greeted me in the garden with 13 little chicken around her! Such a sweet way to welcome a new day! Our son was really proud as Koki is one of the twins we raised ourselves when their mom neglected them during the first cold days of last winter. And now Koki was mommy herself AND taking very good care of her kids. Well, let me share the birthcard my daughter made for this happy event:)
