Winter at Cleveland

Every year on a winter Sunday DH, D Teens and myself go out and take pictures of our frozen Lake Eerie.  DH was on call whole Saturday and came back today in the morning, so after he slept we put our winter clothes on, my kids choose the radio station (Mooooom, not your music today!!!) and despite Jay Sean, Kesha, and Lady Gaga it was nice driving to the coast (we live about 20 minutes downtown Cleveland)

Here today’s picture, if you like, you can click on each one to make them bigger . I hope you enjoy them.

Have a wonderful week!!

Be my Valentine - Quaker style

be-my-valentine

It has been a long time without publishing freebies, so  how about two in a row? This one corresponds with my February ornament for the Bride’s Tree SAL. I didn’t indicate colors in the chart so you follow your instincts and create your unique combination. My model was stitched with HDF threads on antique white Monaco.

Ha pasado bastante tiempo sin publicar ningun freeebie, asi que que tal si publico dos juntos? este corresponde a mi adorno para el Bride’s Tree SAL. No indique colores en el esquema, asi podras seguir tu imaginacion y crear tu combinacion unica. Borde mi modelo en Monaco blanco antiguo con hilos HDF.

Have a happy stitchy day!!

Margo’s Heritage Sampler

Margo, a friend from HDF’s forum, started stitching her sampler and she made an amazing personalization. Margo  added it specialty stitches and beads. I saw it yesterday night and of course asked her immediately for permission to share the pic with all of you because it looks soooo gorgeous!!

If you are wondering about her colors, she is using mystery spools from HDF

Thanks Margo!!

The Thing!!!!

Maybe I must say “The Things” LOL Under that name a group of friends (Marga, Rosa, Jemima, Alma, Esther, and myself) refer each other about the presents that we were preparing for the two new girls in our “family”. Since Esther and Alma received their baby’s “thing” there are not more secrets (almost LOL) and I can show you the pictures.
Quizas deberia decir “las cosas” jijiji. bajo ese nombre nos referiamos Marga, Rosa, Jemima, Alma, Esther y yo  a los regalos que estabamos preparando  para los dos nuevas nenas en nuestra “familia”. Ya que Esther y Alma  recibieron las “cosas” de sus bebas y no hay mas secretos ( casi) puedo mostrarles las fotos

Esther had a baby girl named Judith and we made for her a quilt for her crib. It was made with appliques and Rosa assembled it. Rosa has been a patchwork teacher for over 20 years and as you can see her finishing and technique are gorgeous. We were teasing Esther telling her that her “thing” was Winnie the Pooh stitched  in light pink (the two things that she dislikes the most!! LOL)
Esther tuvo una nena a la que llamo Judith y le hicimos un quilt para su cuna, utilizamos la tecnica de Applique y Rosa la armo. Rosa ha sido profesora de Patchwork por mas de 20 años  y puedes apreciarlo en su tuecnica y acabado, son perfectos!!. Estuvimos molestando a Esther diciendole que “la cosa” eran Winnies the Pooh  bordados en rosa palido ( dos cosas que le disgustan mucho jijiji)

The second “thing” was for Alma’s girl Paola. We teased Alma telling her that the motive will be Victorian Hats with real feathers and lot of dangerous small buttons that Baby Paola can pull out!! LOL
La segunda “cosa” fue para la beba de Alma Paola. Nos metiamos con Alma diciendole que el motivo de su regalo serian sombreros victorianos con plumas y monton de bottones chicos que baby Paola pudiese arrancar.

Alma had a baby boy a three years ago and she received by that time a quilt  Pic Here ( That Rosa assembled too)  we though in make something that coordinates  with it. Using the same Suzy’s Zoo charts this time we made crib accesories that coordinate, this is the result
Alma tuvo un varoncito tres años atras y ella recibio en aquel momento un quilt Foto aca (tambien elaborado por Rosa) asi que pensamos en hacer en su luigar algo que coordinara con el. Utilizando los mismo diagramas de Suzy’s Zoos esta vez hicimos accesorios que coordinaran aca esta el resultado.

There are two more “things” in process and we hope that the receivers enjoy them at least half that we enjoyed making it (and teasing them)
Hay aun dos “cosas” mas en proceso, solo esperamos que quien las reciba las disfrute tanto como nosotras disfrutamos haciendolas ( y molestandolas claro jijiji)

February Goals :(

February  was not a good stitching month for me, Unfortunately I couldn’t fulfill all my goals but I did manage to do something, here they are

Febrero no fue un buen mes en mis bordados.  Lamentablemente no pude realizar todos mis objetivos. Pero logre hacer algunos aca estan

I finished my Quaker Sampler in Red!!!!
Termine my Quaker Sampler in Red!!

I started the piece for the RR but I barely touched it. It is my first goal for March.
Empece a bordar la pieza de el bordado en serie pero hice muy poco. Es mi primer objetivo de Marzo

I stitched the scissor case front for the accessories’ SAL, but I “cheated” on the biscornu. Just made a paw in each side. I also started to make the box that it will content the set (as you can see it’s not done yet)
Borde el frente del estuche para la tijeras del SAL de accesorios. hice “trampa”en el biscornu. Solo borde una pata en cada lado. Tambien comence a hacer la caja en la que ira el set (como puedes ver no esta lista aun)

I stitched Shepherd’s Bush  “Easter Treat Bag” for  Jemi’s SAL  Do you recognize the fabric? Yes, this piece too will be a pillow for my Sunroom
Borde de Shepherd’s Bush  “Easter Treat Bag” para el SAL de Jemi en el foro. reconoces la tela?? Si!!, esta pieza tambien la hare cojin para mi Sunroom

I stitched only two hours  of my Buckley Moss and I didn’t touch my Cancer Awareness Sampler…
Borde solo un par de horas del Bucley Moss y no toque my Cancer Awareness Sampler..

I couldn’t resist myself and enrolled in a new SAL, in my defense it was so hard to resist it. The design is from Isangel,  It will be a total of 12 and all of them will be in blackwork. She describe in her page that each thimble represents a friend. Isn’t it a sweet idea??
No pude resistirme y me anote en un nuevo SAL. En mi defensa es muy dificl resistirsele. El diseño es de Isangel. Seran un total de 12 y todos en blackwork. Ella cuenta en su blog que cada dedal representa a una de sus amigas. No es una idea superdulce??

I stitched mine in Monaco 28 ct with HDF Old Maid of the Heart (big surprise!! LOL)
Borde el mio en Monaco 28 Ct con HDF Old Maid of the Heart (vaya sorpresa jaja)

So I did some and I feel grateful of that. Better something that nothing isn’t it? Today I’m organizing my stuff to see what will be include it in my March’s Goal list.
Osea, hice algo y me siento agradecida de haberlo podido hacer. Mejor algo que nada no?? Hoy estoy organizando mis cosas para ver que incluira mi lista de objetivos de Marzo
