This is one pattern which I will definitely not stitch again. I've always asked myself what colours do I have a problem with and they are white and cream together. It was a drag to stitch the edge of his red cloak. Those white, creams and golds are really confusing me. I am over that part now and I am really not looking forward to stitch his beard, hair and the edge of his hat.
HAED is having a Labour Day sale right now. I didn't buy anything again this sale, not yet. I guess I won't be buying unless some really great charts catch my eye. Well, I did buy Koukiotis Mermaid's Touch the day before the sale started. No heartaches for not waiting to buy it when there is a sale. I still get 15% off as I subscribe to their newsletter. I thought Mermaid's Touch shouldn't be that difficult but when I compared her to Over the Rainbow, Mermaid's Touch is actually more complicated! Still, I've been waiting for this mermaid to be charted since Koukiotis released her and she will definitely be stitched once Angel of Spring is done.
I used the GC I won for this year Silkweaver Gallery on 3 solos. I love the 3rd piece a lot but it was gone really fast. I managed to get it into my cart after 45 mins :0))
Bought this Tutti Fruiti last week when Silkweaver listed her Odds and Ends. It is actually slightly darker than the last piece I had. I sold the other Tutti Fruiti as I find it too light for my taste. I am quite happy with this one. At least I can get the colours out with my camera.
DD started her first dancing lesson last Thursday. Both DH and I thought she was doing really well throughout the 45 mins. However, when we were about to go home, she told me she doesn't like it and find it quite boring. She told me that she wants to go back to her sport lessons. The new season is starting next week. However, I am not so fond of the timing they have for this season. It is from 5.15pm to 6pm and it used to be 4.15pm to 5pm. DH said not to take this away from her and we can find an arrangment with the timing - dinner and bedtime. Since all the activities are starting next week, we will bring her to all and try them out. Just found 2 more sport activities in another town. We think why she thought the dancing was so boring could be due to the fact that they are constantly in a circle and not moving all over the place. She feels that it is too restricted, unlike the sport, which they have to run around the whole hall to do different type of exercises.
I wish everyone a great Labour Day!

I can't wait to get to her neck and head. I actually prefer to stitch the greens than skin tones. I was working really fast on her dress but started to slow down on her skin. I am extremely pleased with her on this Silkweaver Solo.
I received my Silkweaver Tutti Fruiti yesterday. It is extremely lovely but I think it is too light for Angel of Spring. I want something darker. I could only get some colours out of Tutti Fruiti by taking a picture of it in a very dark room. What a waste as this is the only fabric closed to SMF airbrushed Keenan. Now I have to choose between SW Starquest or SW Iris Garden and I have no idea which one is better. I just thought Starquest looks a bit like night time.
Tutti Fruiti, Starquest & Iris Garden
I had a busy week but fruitful. I started the week by having a major cleaning up of the house. DD just finished her 2 weeks of holidays and is back in the kindergarten this week. I washed all the windows and I am so proud of all the cleaned windows. I know they will get dirty again after a few days as we are expecting rain but still nothing makes me happier than spotless windows! I had been doing some heavy duty gardening job too. I was moving sand (left by the last owner) to another end of the garden. DH wants to make use of the sand for the tiles to build another terrace in front of the house.
DD is invited to another birthday party again this Saturday. It is a boy from her kindergarten who is turning 5. I still think it is weird that kids from the kindergarten are inviting a few kids to their house for parties. It is not a normal practice in Denmark as far as I know. Usually, if someone wants to invite friends from the kindergarten to their house for birthday parties, it will be either an invitation to all the boys or all the girls and not a few of them. Anyway, I went to buy a gift for this birthday boy yesterday. DD told me that he loves nothing else but cars. So, I bought him a 3 storey Car Park. I wanted to buy only 1 thing and some nice bread and dressings from the bakery but I came home with so many shopping bags! I simply couldn't resist the great sale in Germany. Nothing for myself as I couldn't find anything I like but I saw so many nice and cheap t-shirts and bought quite a few for DH.
