My progress, some finishing

I have been writing so little and participating on forums even less because my dad is sick and I’m really sad about his decisions about this matter. Cancer has been  in my family over an over, my elder son pass away when he was 5 because of that, my mother an my  grandmas too, you can add into the equation several cousins, now you can imagine how I feel about my dad and his stubbornness of do nothing.

My works has been affected with highs and lows, sometimes it helps me to  think about other things, sometimes it’s just impossible for me to concentrate in something else, but I managed to stitch something and to start finishing pieces.

I made progress on My Neighborhood, this is my yesterday’s picture

The freebies that I stitched on this occasion were

Caramel House from Des fils defilent 

All Our Yesterdays’ Blue Balloon ( I mirror image it and stitch it again in red) from Cross Stitcher Magazine.

and Love House Sampler from Cyberphenicia.

I did three little finishes but they are presents that I owe so when they arrive to their new homes I’ll try to show them to you.

I also finished my Shepherd’s Bush “She Tends”

I used Vonna’s instructions to finish it and I’m really please with the result. If you don’t know Vonda’s finishing blog yet, go and pay her a visit. I’m pretty sure you will love her easy to follow, full pictures explanations.

Nela’s B-day

My friend Nela is celebrating her b-day with a drawing!!

She is offering this piece in a drawing for the first 100 people that write on her post and choose a number between 1 and 100. The drawing day will be on February 9th.

Don’t miss this opportunity, Nela is famous among us not only because her funny way to write, (her mind goes so much faster than her fingers!!!) but mainly because the gorgeous things that create with her hands!

Happy  B-Day Nela!!!!

2010 Forum’s project

This year will be my “stitching just for me” year, I decided not to go in any exchange but stitch (and finish) a lot of projects that I have already started or will be starting in January with my girls in the forum.

Este año sera mi año de “bordar solo para mi”  he decidido no entrar en ningun intercambio y solo bordar ( y terminar los proyectos que ya he empezado o que comenzare en enero con las nenas del foro.

We will be doing a personalized “monopoly” version (it’s not exactly the same game, but since we still don’t have a name for it and same rules apply for the game, let’s call it like that for the moment).

Estaremos haciendo una version personalizada de un “monopolio” ( no es exactamente el mismo juego, pero dado que las reglas son similares y no le tenemos otro nombre lo llamaremos asi al menos por el momento)

A neighborhood design, made of only freebies ( and that will be our stitchy contest this year), every one will be different because we are creating our unique “blueprints”, here it’s mine

Un vecindario, el cual se elaborara exlusivamente de freebies ( y que sera el concurso del foro de este año). Cada uno sera diferente pues cada una hara su propio plano usando los freebies que su eleccion, aca esta el bosquejo del mio.

I’ll be using freebies (modified to fit)  from By the Needle Art, Marisee, AOY, Katia Preau, L’Atelier the Framboise Chocolat, Cyberphenicia, and myself. I’ll be stitching it in oatmeal Monaco  with HDF silks

Estare usando freebies ( modificados para que calcen entre si)  de By the Needle Art, Marisee, AOY, Katia Preau, L’Atelier the Framboise Chocolat, Cyberphenicia, y alguno de cosecha propia, El diseño lo bordare en Monaco color avena con HDF silks

A Hardanger table runner that we found in a free online magazine,

Un camino de mesa en Hardanger que encontramos en una revista online gratuita

The Bride’s Tree SAL (since the blog is in English there will be a Spanish version in the forum) , and of course the Heritage SAL.

El Bride’s Tree SAL (dado que el blog es en ingles habra un grupo que lo hara en castellano en el foro) y por supuesto el Heritage SAL

Rosa will be offering a new patch project for mother’s day, and of course a new project with specialty stitch will be offered. I have yet not finished the design but I can tell you that this is, by far, the must complete specialty stitch SAL that I have ever designed. As soon as i finish stitching mine I will be offering it through here. As you know since last year I decided not to offer more Mystery SAL.

Rosa estara ofreciendo un nuevo proyecto en patch para el dia de la madre, y por supuesto un nuevo proyecto de puntos especiales. Aun no he terminado de diseñarlo, pero puedo decirte que este es el diseño de puntos especiales mas completo que he hecho hasta ahora. Tan pronto como termine de bordar el mio lo estare ofreciendo y mostrando por este medio. Como ya saben desde el año pasado decidi no ofrecer mas SALs que sean misterio.

As you can see my hands are already full but my mind doesn’t feel in the same way, I still need to add my current projects and the new designs for my shop. It’s a good thing that Linda B is model stitching some of my designs!! (she already stitched the first two seasons in the Spanish Sampler Series) So come back to visit in January!!

Como puedes ver mis manos ya estan llenas, pero mi mento no siente de la misma manera, aun necesito añadir mis proyectos actuales y los nuevos diseños para mi tienda. Es algo muy bueno que Linda B  esta model stitching algunos de mis diseños ( ya ella bordo para mi las dos primeras estaciones del la Serie de Spanish Sampler). Espero tu visita nuevamente en Enero!!
