I think I am moving onto No. 3 instead of No. 4.  No. 4 is the nest with boring colours. 





Spring is here and we had lovely weather but with strong wind the whole of last week.  I got loads of stuff done - washing all the windows, cleaning the car and the house.

My Frühjahrsquadrate kit arrived  this morning.  This is my first Acufactum kit and I am pretty amazed  at how soft the linen is and the sheen on the V&H floss.   I have to put my HAED project away to start on this as I want it to be done at least during Spring. 



It took me a couple of years to find out the artist of this great artwork (thank you so much to the members of Golden Kite).  It got charted by Golden Kite 2 weeks ago and I bought it.  The one I bought is in solid colours.   When will I start on this? As soon as my HAED project is finished which will probably take me about at least 6 months. 




Part 2 of Angels of Katerinaart.  Progess as of 15 March 2011.  This angel is called Christmas Spirit





We held a Fastelavn Party on the 5th March inviting our friends and their girls.   We had a Queen of the Cats who is one of the 7 years old girls, she sure took the bottom of the barrel off.   It took them a long time to crack this barrel and all the parents were freezing outside since this was done in the garden and it was so windy that day. 



When we started throwing this Fastelavn Party 4 years ago, it become a tradition for us and these 2 families .  After the first year seeing me standing in the kitchen for so long, our friends suggested that they will each bake something to bring along.  



I baked these muffins and for the first time I succeeded making frosting!

It had been a sad Friday for Japan and the rest of the world.   I am relieved when I hear from my Japanese friends that they are fine but feel terribly sad when so many lifes are lost, people who are still missing........I really don't know what to say at this time.  The disasters were happening one after another. 

My thoughts are with the people in Japan......please stay safe.

She is completed as of 3 March 2011.  I really enjoyed working on her and there'd been times whereby I was thinking whether I should stitch  the full pattern as I really love the original but it is too late now.




I will probably start on this one while preparing the next angel. I am just too lazy to look through all my Blomstergarn for this pattern. 
 

Or maybe this Spring kit. I am still thinking whether I should buy the kit. I don't fall in love easily with any charts or kits but I had been looking at this for almost a year now and still loving it.


 


Time of the year again for our Fastelavn party. This is what I get when I put my daughter and husband to do any decorations. It will be smashed anyway and this year, we are not making it easy for the girls. The 5 girls are getting stronger each year. We used to have a cardboard barrel until last year. It took only 1 hit from each girl and the candies fell off. This year, we are taking a wood barrel instead.
