Drage Feuer Stitch

Haven't been working much on her as DD had a week holiday last week and again this week. Only managed a bit during the mornings before the whole family wakes up. I was afraid to stitch her on a hand dyed at first as the fabric in the kit has very light green pastel colour and I was thinking how it would turn out on a darker and blue dyed fabric. I got to say I am very happy with the outcome :0) I am not sure whether I can restart on Angel of Spring on the 1st August with Jackie as I haven't got a notice from Silkweaver that my fabric had been shipped. I ordered Tutti Fruiti last week as that is their COTW. I am not sure whether Angel of Spring will look better on Starquest or Tutti Fruiti. I got to look at the fabric before I decide.

This is how it will look like when finished.

I just bought these 2 new Dimensions kits. Italian Vista and White Roses. I haven't touch a Dimensions since I started stitching on evenweave. To be honest, I am actually terrified of stitching a Dimensions on evenweave due to the blending of different colours and having different number strands of floss into a square. I got to try but I think I am a bit too ambitious by wanting to try on huge Dimensions kits. Italian Vista actually looks a bit frightening as the floss bundles contain a piece of some wool type of floss and a golden ribbon.




We threw a party last Saturday at our house and invited 2 families over. Each of them had 2 girls. We had a total of 5 girls that day. It was fun and not tiring for me at all as it is a normal in Denmark for the parents and their children to clean up or tidy up before they leave someone's house. I love to give small gifts to the girls when we have parties. I am a bit tired of giving them Barbie eggs or Hello Kitty eggs. Since the girls are learning how to use chopsticks and love it, I thought of buying this for each of the girl for the next party. Had been on Ebay but the shipping fee is quite high - approx. £5. How heavy can a pair of chopsticks weigh? If anyone knows any online store where I can get them at a reasonable shipping fee, please let me know.
