Hello Stitching Friends!
I cannot believe what has happened in Europe and Ukraine since I last posted on this blog😨😢💔...
However, if I'm going to stick to cross stitching, you may remember that during the Winter Olympics I had decided to try to work on Emma Congdon's Christmas Town every day during the competitions. I managed to stick to that goal pretty well so now the town has progressed from this...
...to this!

Another project I have been working on after Christmas is the collection of three animal siluettes by Durene Jones.
I have now finished the wolf siluette.

And I also finished the elephant siluette, but a friend of mine saw it, bought it, and it now hangs on her wall.

So now I have to stitch it again if I want the complete set😉.
As far as the polar bear is concerned I still have a long way to go...

After the Olympics I really wanted to stitch something cheerful and colourful so I made a start on the sampler A Song for Spring by Cheryl McKinnon.

In the last week or so I have struggled with my stitching/crafting mojo and suddenly I felt like picking up one of my Prairie Schooler Christmas projects again. There's something really relaxing about stitching PS charts. I only wish I had more of them.

As you can see it is coming along nicely.
That is it for now, I guess. I've really struggled writing this post; my brain and my heart are just all over the place😔... I hope you are all well and staying safe in this crazy, scary world😔.

This horrible war is closer in proximity to you than it is to me in the USA, but it is so very heartbreaking. I have found that I must watch the news only once a day and then move on to live the day the best I can. I love your stitching. Prairie Schooler stitching is always relaxing. You are so close to finishing that gorgeous Christmas village. I hope you go back to it.
ReplyDeleteIt truly is heartbreaking what is going on in Ukraine right now. Anytime I see a Ukraine designer posting their Etsy shop I try to buy something to help out a little bit.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on Christmas Town, it looks amazing! Well done on your animal silhouettes! And great progress on your other wips too.
Fabulous work on Christmas Town. I can see why your friend wanted the elephant too! I'm also impressed with how the crease marks ironed out of the final piece. I tend to roll my fabric rather than fold it.
ReplyDeleteI've bought a few Ukrainian designers' charts this month as well, it's something to be able to help in a small way.

I walk through a nearby village for our program schedule then I found a signage notice that says Dr Itua Herbal Center then I asked my colleagues what all about this very man called Dr Itua, She told me that he's a herbal doctor and he can cure all kind of disease i walked to him and explain myself to him as I'm a strangler out there he prepared me herbal medicine and told me how to drink it for two weeks, when I get to my hotel room I take a look at it then says a prayer before I drank it not knowing after two weeks I went to test and I found out I was negative I ran to him to pay him more but he refuses and says I should share his works for me around the globe so sick people can see as well. I'm writing a lot about him this season so that is how I was cured by drinking Dr Itua herbal medicine, He's A caring man with a godly heart. Well - everything I decided all went through for me well and how you're going to treat this new aspect to your life. You don't have to suffer alone, and it's okay to ask for help. It also doesn't have to be a constant demon, as you'll get to know your body and yourself in a much deeper way than most people. Take advantage of this, as it will help you appreciate Africa Herbal Made.
