Wow, I haven’t been updating this blog for a while.. that is because I haven’t really stitched anything either since the last WIPocalypse update. I lost the need of stitching and instead I have been playing alot of WoW and I also took up my other big hobby: building ship models.
So I haven’t been totally idle. I love my boats and I love to work with them, seeing how they slowley come to life. At the moment I am building Amati’s RMS Titanic and Corel’s Flying Fish. Hard word but it’ll be rewarding.
However, today I received page 2 of the SAL 2012 SK Forbidden Doorway by Dillman! Yey! That and looking att all the beautiful progresses on yuku, I desided to give it a try and so I put in the first 120 stitches on that second page. I had forgotten how hard it is to stitch this design and stitching it on black waeve… It was nice but I am already tired in my eyes, neck and shoulders.
I have failed to share with you the wonderful surprise Liz aka radidragon surprised e with the other week!
In my mailbox I found that she had RAK’d me with the awesome chart mini Alice and Snow white. Thanks hun!
Klockan är runt 11 och luften i bussen är kvävande. Varför måste värmen vara på i bussen när det 20 grader ute? Det hjälper knappt att hon har en tunn sommarklänning på sig. Hon känner svetten rinna längs med ryggraden. Bussen stannar och öppnar dörrarna. Frisk luft strömmar in och smeker ansiktet, halsen och de bara axlarna. Bussen gungar till när en kraftigt överviktig kvinna kliver på. Någon drar i sommarklänningen och väcker henne ur dvalan: Hon tittar ner och hennes 4-åriga dotter ställer sig upp, pekar på kvinnan som just klivit på bussen och som vaggar sig fram i bussgången och säger:
- Mamma, varför är hon så tjock?!
Hon känner hur kinderna blossar upp när folk vänder sig om i bussen och tittar på henne och hennes dotter. Hon klämmer fram ett ursäktande leende och ett halvkvävt:
- Barn…

Flera år hade gått, och varje år denna dag vissnade hennes själ, som en uttorkad snödroppe i en vas i ett kök. Hur skulle hon någonsin leva med tystnaden av ett hjärta som aldrig slog?
Vad är ansvar? Varför måste jagta ansvar och vad ska jag ta ansvar för? Måste jag ta ansvar för någon annan också?. Hon är arg och känner sig orättvist behandlad, men tankarna fortsätter att vandra och hon tänker på sin vackra dotter. Det är för henne skull jag gör det, intalar hon sig själv.
I have been busy this passed mounth! I have made quite alot of stiching and I managed do add two new projects on the list. I simply couldn’t help myself
Here’s the WIPS:
Mini Love Sings With a Minstrels Voice by Sessler
Astranaithes by Thomson
I Vampiri Pieta by JBG
SK Forbidden Doorway by Dillman
And last but not least, I am back to the amazing
Train of Dreams by Spangler =)
Since I have been away from school and doing some practical training instead I’ve had alot of time in the evenings and some extra energy for stitching, which resulted in all these WIPS!
When HAED published this design I went: “Ooooh, myyyy Gooood!!!”
I treated myself to this wonderful design and yes, I want to start right away! But I need mats of course and I planed to buy a couple of bars to my millennium frame so I can set up two more projects. Then I can switch between these three without needing to remove them from the frame. So mats for this lovely design will have to wait at least a month, unfortunately..
I have worked on Astranaithes and mini Love Sings with a Minstrels Voice. I wish I did faster progress but I am OK with the progress I have done so far considering that I don’t really have that much time for stitching. I wanted to finish yet another 2 rows of the Astranaithes before going back to the Train, but I fell it calling for my even before I have finished the two rows I am working on now. We’ll see what will happen
and
I am also receiving the fabric I ordered from the U.S. in a week or two. So that’ll give me the opportunity to start Universe in a Jar! Yay!
And which gives me a piece of 25ct fab left over, which I want to save for Ravencroft’s To Dream of Peace.
I don’t even want to count the amount of projects I am about to start, but I read about a HAED-stitcher who has 10 Spangler designs on a rotation, for the sake of not getting bored and I found it to be crazy! I respect her for daring that and I feel like: What the h**k, why not go crazy and just stitch what I want and just enjoy that and to feel no pressure!? So that is what I am going to do.
