Lanarte Ballerina Completed + Upcoming Projects

She could had been fully completed before 7am this morning but I 'ran' out of floss for one of the symbols. Was starting to bite my nails as I know Lanarte's email is not on their site anymore and my nearest LNS is at least more than an hour drive away. While DH sent DD to the kindergarten, I started to go through the 2 floss organisers and found 2 full strands of that colour there. I must had taken it out and forgot to put it back in its original number.

It didn' take me long to decide which project I want to stitch next. It is this L&L The Spirit of Christmas. I had always wanted to stitch this big and round Santa. I think it took me at least a year before I decided to buy the chart (bought it last week). Well, actually the fabric was bought around Christmas time as I know I will stitch this Santa one fine day. I am not a big fan of opal fabric as my ears hurt so much whenever the thread goes through the fabric. It is not a big design, so I believe I will survive.

I am pretty sure I will get to this one very soon too. The design looks small in this Point De Croix Magazine 55 but it actually needs a FQ fabric. So, I chose this Silkweaver Solo which I have in my stash. I think the cream colour flowers will stand out in this fabric, I HOPE! While looking at this fabric, I thought it is the PERFECT fabric for HAED Angel of Spring! That means I don't have to go hunting for a fabric for her. However, that means I have to hunt for a fabric for these butterflies... decisions, decisions, decisions.....

My brother in law had been to our house twice last week as he is helping DH to build a shed. Our intention was to build it at one area - so that it is against the wall of the house. Strict rules in Denmark, the shed have to be away from the walls of the house by 2.5m. So, they conquered my potatoes area. I intended to use this area to grow some potatoes. Guess I have to find another area for them. This is just the foundation. I think the building will start this weekend.

Summer is soon over and I've been calling some places wanting to enrol DD for some extra activities. She will start in a dancing school in September. She wants to continue with her sports in the sports club but this year, they changed the timing for the training - 1 hour later than usual. Since that sports club is in the same town as her kindergarten, that means we have to bring her home, take an hour rest or so and then drive back to that town again. Still on the lookout for other activities that we can bring her straight there after her kindergarten.
