My first finish for 2011!! It could had been completed 2 days ago but I ran out of 1 colour.  It is not Acufactum's fault that I didn't had enough of that colour in the kit.  I frogged a lot of that colour when I first started on this kit due to some mistakes. 




My next project will be my Angels of Katerinaart.  I am on Christmas Spirit curently and hope to complete her soon before I take a break and start on a non-HAED.

No. 8 was completed yesterday.  1 last square to go.

No. 7 was completed on the 8th May morning.  However, my laptop screen had to go blank just when I was trying to update my blog and webshots.  My husband managed to get it up, so that he can do a backup for me.  In the meantime, I got a new laptop as I am pretty sure this current one will stop working pretty soon.

I've been working on No. 8 and I hope it will be completed by this Friday.

Took me nearly 2 weeks to complete the nest due to the long Easter holidays.  Besides that I really didn't had the mood to stitch this boring nest.  3 more squares to go.

The next one will be No. 4 which is the ugly nest.

Took me a week to complete.  I spent more than an hour doing up the french knots.  I gave up and found Needlenthread 's video really useful.  I finished all the french knots easily within an hour following the instructions.   Moving on to Nr. 1 after this.

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!
