Well as you can see .. I have had 3 more finishes since my last post... this has been the summer of stitching little reds.. and Oh what fun it has been...these are so easy and so fast to stitch.. Clara Muller and MW 1903 took all of 2 weeks to complete them both.  And we had a wedding in there too.. DD got married last Saturday Aug 14 and I still got 2 little reds completed...

And this is the happy couple.. we are sooooo happy for the both of them..

Mette is Home

Well, Mette has returned from her travels to Berlin.. she was on the slow boat back... guess she wanted to see the sights and relax a bit after her show... took 2 1/2 weeks for her to get here.. but the important thing is she made the trip safe and sound.  Next stop for Mette will be Vikki's (HDF) Open House next weekend....then she will go to the framers to get all dressed up for the Stitching Jubilee in Lancaster in Oct.

While Mette was away.. I have 2 more finishes... stitched Louise Zeigler  and Ida Anker... pics to follow... both were really fun to stitch and went really fast... then again after Mette anything is is fast stitch...

 both of these girls are stitched on 40 ct Ricamo with HDF... Louise uses a Perfect red combo and Ida is stitched with Metta Red... Next up is the little Bristol Freebie from Sabine... did a few test stitches in Sassy Fabby's Crescent Cream with a mislabeled HDF...it is one of the OMG reds marked 1151 but it may be darker like Diane's Rouge... no matter they look really great together and can;t wait to stitch more... AS soon as my Stitching Buddy (Donna) finishes her Ida .....we will be starting the little bristol

Well Mette is all dressed up and ready for her debut at the Textile show in Berlin.... I hope she has a grand time and is able to fill her dance card... LOL...can;t wait to hear the comments from Sabine!

OH YES!!!! Happy Dancing all over the place!!! Mette has arrived in Berlin and is visiting Sabine!! I am sure they will have a wonderful visit together... I am just happy that she arrived safe and in one piece and didn't get highjacked along the way....All is now right with the world....okay at least with my little stitching world..

Feeling a bit stressed these days.. I mailed my Mette to  Sabine to show in the Textile Show in Berlin... mailed it on Tues and it was to be there on Thurs the 10th... Well... she still isn't there.. it is now Sat the 12th.... got stuck in customs.. however on Friday they (FedEx) tried to deliver and there was no one home.... now I don't know if in Germany they do not leave a notice that a delivery was attempted the way they so here in the US. Sabine did not mention that she received any kind of notice to that effect. AND ... Mette still is not in Sabine's hands... I assume delivery will be attempted again on Monday since they do not do Sat and Sun deliveries.. I so hope that I will wake up to an e-mail on Monday to say that she has arrived safe and sound....

METTE PUTFARCKENS IS FINISHED

I've done it!!!!  Mette is finished!!! Finished her last evening at 6pm.... 182 days and approx 800 hours!!  She is my first finish for 2010..

So what is next you ask??? I am waiting for my stitching buddy to finish her current project and then we will be starting Louise Zeigler by European Reproduction Samplers - Sabine....That should be a quick stitch... geez anything will be quick after Metta and Mette... so in the meantime I am working on Jane Rees again.. she has been so neglected during the past year and is screaming to be finished.  I am over half way so she will not take that long...  Well off to watch the race and stitch some more.....

Now the count down to the finish of Mette has begun.... finished #12 to go... started #11.. plan is to finish #11 and start #10 tomorrow....I think I shall be able to finish by June 6th... Well that atleast is the goal.... Snuggling in for a long stitching weekend!!!  Geez  I love these 3 day holiday weekends!!!
