Second

22. February, 2010.

I finished my second little tuffet pillow with the help of Lynn’s instructions. My scissors had no fob since August, when I bought it in Budapest. I used to plan making one, but I didn’t find the suitable one till now. These scissors are colour ones, so the spider roses were made of lilac Anchor multicolour thread.

I finished my first little tuffet pillow. Thanks Lynn for the instructions, what you find here. My pillow is not perfect, but it's mine. The flowers are made with Anchor multicolour silk thread. Today I gave this little pillow to my collegue. Nowadays she begins cross stitch again. I hope, she likes my little present.

As I mentioned my Mary’s frame was done, I take it home from the framer. The frame is wine-red, which go well to the colours of the embroidery.

2009

06. January 2010.

Our house grew more beautiful, but it's not finished yet. Banisters, shelves and cupboards were made by our joiner. Our garden became green, the fireplace was painted, ...

In March we finished operating coffee and vending machines.

In May I lost my baby (missed abortion), I was 10 weeks pregnant.

In July we went Hévíz for the summer holiday.

In October Gabi became kindergartener.

In November I was thirty-seven years old. It's terrible!

I announced a competition for giveaways two times in the year. Second time on my first blogoversary in November. I took part in gíveaways, and I won some beautiful presents.

I finished stitching JJ Herbs and Spices (This was my second RR) and in December I finished stitching the missing spices on my tablecloth (Permin, this was my first RR).

I stitched the Mediterranean steps, I began stitching four other patterns in 2009. There are lot of UFOs (unfinished works) in my wardrobe. (About these and my plans in 2010 I will write in the next post.) I have to make more embroideries at the same time, and take turns at stitching them. I need variety.

A lot of works were finished this year in addition to RRs:

Clock (into my Viki's room)

Bookmark with cat (My brother-in-law's present, plastic)

Easter rabbit (I bought the banner holder from Skorpiocska)

Bottle collar (my college's birthday present)
