IHSW nad May two-four

It's a long weekend and I have so many plans. It's also a third weekend and time to hermit and stitch. Today I was working very little on M. Quertier 1799 and I started Miss Mary Mack


and I'm planning to work on these two pieces this weekend. Will see how much I can have done...

Are you wonder what May two-four stand for? I wrote about last year, here is the link.

So long my friends,

May Monster Madness - Monster inside me

The May Monster Madness challenge is coming to the end and I would love to finish it with a real monsters, those inside of us. Have a look:






All of them are rare cases, but how we can be sure that we are not attacked by some parasite...

May Monster Madness - Miss Mary Mac

Who was Miss Mary Mac? Was she a monster who brain washed little kids to clap and sing her name? Or was she a lost soul looking for answers? Why are so many kids playing this game and why the song is stuck in my head? We all know the popular lyrics, recently I came across this and I like it!
Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
She had a knife, knife, knife
Stuck in her back, back, back
She could not scream, scream, scream
She could not cry, cry, cry
So she begs, begs, begs
She begs to die, die, die.
And I have a stitching chart of Miss Mary Mac. With small alternations it will be my project for tonight. I will stitch Miss Mary Mac, think of her and maybe the answer will come to me by the dawn of the morning...
So long my friends,

May Monster Madness - The Munsters

I've never seen The Munsters - I guess that's the price I have to pay for growing up in Poland. John, thank you so much for mentioning the series. I searched the net, watched couple of episodes and really liked it.

Here is unaired test pilot for The Munsters TV show entitled "My Fair Munster". I hope you'll enjoy as much as I did!


So long my friends,

Chasing the wind

It is a cold and windy day in Marsh Lake. Regardless the weather I had to take my puppy for a walk. Here is our first video taken on our back yard. With a little more practice I will get better, I promise.


Now puppy will take a nap and I will try to warm up with a cup of tea and maybe some stitching. Today I'm working on a piece for charity, a square for a quilt for a little boy who likes wild animals. I'm using Prairie Schooler ornament pattern but instead on linen I'm stitching it on 14 ct Aida. It's almost done, I just have to fill in lion's face and the lamb.


So long my friends,
