Entrecard

Posted in Biscornu, Blogosphere at 10:52pm

While I was checking out participating blogs of Friday Fill-Ins I found a service called Entrecard.
Basically, you put their widget on your sidebar. You can rent the spot next to it to other blogs to earn credits. But mainly, you can go to other member blogs, click on their widget and “drop your card”, and [...]

SBQ

Posted in SBQ, Stitching at 8:11am

This week’s SBQ over at Stitched with Love and Cat Hair is the following:
If you had to choose, would you rather spend money on overdyed floss or hand-dyed fabric?
I am a member of the Limited Edition Fabric Club and the Dragonfloss club at Polstitches. I find that I mostly stitch after charts in solid colours, [...]

Striking, Finishing, and a Strange Box

Posted in Doctor, Doctor Stuff, Finish, Hinzeit, Memories, Pesky Real Life, Stitching at 8:07pm

So here’s that update I’ve been promising. Things at work have been somewhat more tense the last week. I think the reason is that all over the country, nurses are going on strike. Here in Tinytown things will start to get funny on Monday.
Nurses here study for four years. They’re generally very well educated and [...]

Working and Stitching…

Posted in Doctor, Hinzeit, Stitching, WiP at 9:48pm

… is what I have been up to. I will try to write a longer update tomorrow.
I ordered some patterns for my kitchen lately, after I decided to have a coffee-chocolate-theme. (What else! LOL) Then I saw that they had the Hinzeit Doctor-block for sale, and since I adore anything with charms and had been [...]

Enabling

Posted in Doctor Stuff, Pesky Real Life, Stitching at 9:58pm

Bouncy Haired Girl was visiting this weekend, and guess what? I managed to get her kitted up for two little projects out of Cross Stitch Crazy and she started stitching! *insert evil laugh* Sooner or later I’m gonna get you.
I had a nice conversation with a colleague today. She’s German too, but I don’t know [...]

*giggle*

Posted in Biscornu, Finish, Heart Beaded Biscornu, Pesky Real Life, Polstitches at 5:07pm

My mom is totally awesome. Just thought I’d say.
See, there’s this liqueur I really like, called Ramazzotti. Italien spicy stuff, and of course I’ve never been able to get it here in Sweden. In our family, it’s lovingly called Rambazamba.
This week I got a letter from home which is always good, and in this was [...]

Sunday Stitching

Posted in Quaker Sampler, Stitching, WiP at 10:38pm

Today I did a bit more on a project I’m working on for a swap bot exchange.
It’s a Quaker Sampler that was published in Gift of Stitching. It’s done on hand-dyed fabric from Polstitches, with Dragon Floss and Carrie’s Creations. 28c linen, one over one (yes, I think I’m officially insane.)
The exchange is spring themed, [...]

Yay, I got another row on Dragon Luck done! This one was all exciting, because the second eye is done now Now there’ll be endless rows of crazily riveting dark green and blue background, hehe.

Look, it’s a biscornu! or – Eva Shall Have Her Prettiful Basket

Posted in Biscornu, Finish, Heart Beaded Biscornu, Polstitches, Stitching at 10:40pm

Okay, so all week I have been raving at people, “Guess what! I’m so excited, I’m making my first biscornu!” Just to have them look at me in this weary, oh-she’s-finally-gone-round-the-bend-now look.
But really, I was all excited because I have never done anything but cards or pictures. Why? Because I’m scared of all finishes. I can’t [...]
