Happy birthday to me

I am very happy because, after almost 3 months of waiting is my package finally arrived last friday May 21. I was worried that it was already lost in the sea (lol) Well there is nothing missing with all the stuff that I put in the box, despite the fact that the Douane had it open and plastered it with Douane seal. I was able to do some inventories of the threads that I now have. In the next days to come aside from gardening I would be busy, catching up on my unfinished cross stitched projects. But then my husband bought me a paspop a mannequin where I can show off the clothes that I sew. I been very excited taking pictures of all my creations. My husband was so perplexed that he say's. I think you have never played with a doll ever. And he was right, I was a tomboy. I played lastiko and holen when I was a kid. I was also a ninny, always crying because I was a girl when I was supposed to be a boy. Now I have the time of my life. playing with my pop, dressing it up and taking pictures of it to my heart contentment. Its crazy but I don't need to go out of the house anymore to amuse myself. Whenever my euphorie subsided I will be posting more of my works. Let me enjoy it for awhile.

Not so much mood to blog lately

I was indeed the last months inactive here in my webpage although I never really stopped on what I usually busy about. In fact I did a lot of things that I had no time at all to sit in front of my computer. Everything is fine, just lots of things going around in the house that requires my full attention. Somethings that have no publicity requirement at all. There were moments that I have really loss of words. Anyway, my unfinished works has still to wait because my threads has not yet arrived. I had a mistake of putting half of the threads I bought in the Philippines in a box which I send via the post. The box is now 2 months and a half onderway via a ship and I am already losing hope to be able to receive it at all. I think it is already lost. But anyway, I'll wait another 2 weeks then I give it up.

Grumpy old me

Since I began a week ago learning new sewing techniques and getting to know my edging machine, not to mention attending classes for it. I have had a handful of works that I began to get headaches. My husband says that I take it too serious that I forgot to get some fresh air which I badly needed. Today is a beautiful weather so I took his advice and decided to stroll outside in the woods which is really good for my mood. I find this winter too long already, that's why  my concentration is particularly engrossed in doing things inside the house that I do not mind going outside at all. Sitting in front of the computer requires a lot of effort nowadays from me. I  also have this small pattern which I myself design, sort of experimenting on colors. I missed one color that's why I am still looking for something which I already have. What I do now is stitch a little bit and then do it again. I have a serious problem says my husband. I do not understand why people cannot understand sometimes that everybody did what they find amusing in their own way. Artist are most of the times crazy says he. Well, I still believe that I am neither an artist and neither crazy. I am just bored with this weather. And I hope I am right.
