Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping me to find three kings. Now they are on their way north! I've decided to go with this one:
I'm not so sure about all that black, unless... Oh, I have a whole year to think about it!

Today is my ex's birthday and I have a tradition of buying a present for myself on his birthday, name day etc. (I love celebrations!!!) I was stuck at home but nothing can stop me from shopping. Look what I bought:


A lovely sampler 'Honest, kind and good' by Stitcher's Hands and from Victoria Sampler 'Friends in Stitches' designed by Thea with the accessory pack and brass bellpull.

'Honest, kind and good' I will stitch with silk floss, same colors as in 'Songs of the Season'.

Now it is time for some evening stitching.

So long my friends,
Evalina

  2. You have a good eye for picking beautiful designs.

    I love what you wrote on Marlene's post about the vibe you could feel. I feel it too and it surrounds me with inspiration and sisterhood.

  3. I guess, by definition, your ex wasn't honest kind or good. It's my b'day today too. However, I can hold my head up high. Except for that time I ...! haha.

  5. So glad you stopped by last night, because it gave me a chance to find you! BEAUTIFUL work - I've always admired the cross-stitchers, for they have the better eyes (and more patience) than I! Congratulations on your birthday gift to yourself...GREAT idea on that one - lots more looking around to do here - glad you're joining in on Vicki's Grow Your Blog Party. Happy Tuesday - Tanya

  6. What a wonderful idea to give yourself a gift on the ex's birthday! Honest, Kind and Good will look so pretty using the same floss as Songs of the Season. I am looking forward to seeing it!

  7. Haha I love your theory of "its your birthday but I buy something for ME!!!" Perhaps I should take that idea on board...

  12. I love that idea..his birthday...your presents. Never was comfortable with doing Hardanger stitching..afraid of cutting the wrong string and screwing up the whole thing..hope you have luck with it.
