IHSW results and more goodies post for me...

Don't you just love when you return home and you have post that aren't bills or advertisement flyers?? I do... and today I had not one but TWO big envelopes waiting for me so I knew it couldn't be any of the above, I grabbed them on the spot and just had time to put my wallet on the floor before opening them (I was still with my coat and all that, but I was too curious to wait that 2 secs more that it takes to put the coat on its place xD) and what was waiting for me?
This was:

The gorgeous giveaway I had won at Between the Stitches 

and my monthly subscription of Cross Stitcher :)

I must say the threads are even more gorgeous than in the picture (I might think it's not possible but it's true) and the PM booklet will be used for this Christmas for sure (at least I hope so) it as such a cute small designs, they will be perfect for some more ornaments for my tree. And I could go on and on about every single item of the giveaway :D.... Thank you so much I really love it :D

Now my IHSW progress, not as much stitching as I was hoping for, but I did stitch, so I can't complain I've put another 800 stitches on my MP (pictures will be shown on Joysze blog, I think) and I now have a total of 23127 stitches done so roughly more 4600 stitches to complete it :)

Thanks for coming by :)

What I've been up to this two weeks... and a giveaway

So blogger didn't want to let me post anything new and therefore I couldn't share with you my updates and news...
So in terms of stitching I'm still only stitching on my MP, that now has 11441 stitches of 27750...
In terms of stash... a few time ago I won two giveaways one was the Julie's giveaway (were I got to pick two HAED charts - QS Aries by Sara Butcher and Woodland Guardian by Anne Strokes) and the other was Kaye's giveaway and I got this:

the gift I got

when I opened it I had a gorgeous postcard, a package still wrapped and this lovely paper

the postcard

and what was inside the package?

this :)

I loved it, thank you so much Kaye

Also while I was reading your lovely blogs I came across with this giveaway that I wanted to share with you at Between The Stitches I hope you like it :)

Happy stitches everyone

Update on MP and Giveaways

So 12 days have passed since I started the MP and I've already stitched 7475 stitches so I'm on the good way to have it finished with plenty of time left (or so I hope).

Now I've heard and found a couple of giveaways that I wanted to share :)

• If you like fabric Cross Stitch Drama Queen is having the perfect giveaway for you just check it here. 
• If you like scrapbooking than you definitely should check lanybleu stitches, she's offering a gorgeous software program 

IHSW results

So I did spent the weekend only stitching (and from time to time working) and I'm really happy with the results, on Saturday I only stitched on my Mistery Project, I was able to put it more 906 stitches, so I now have 3902 stitches (done over 5 stitching days) of 27750, I just hope I can keep the pace, that way I'll have more than time to finish it properly...
Now on Sunday I changed to SK Treasures (it's the SAL weekend for it) because I wanted to have a picture to share too... I stitched the first column (950 stitches), I think today I'll stitch a bit more on SK Treasures, since it's on the stand and I'll change to the MP later on tonight... and here is the photo :)

New Project and IHSW stitching

Hi everyone,
I haven't posted much I know, and I also know that until next month there will be only a few pictures to share.
The reason for this is because I've a new project started on the go with a total of 27750 stitches that I want (read must) to finish until mid-October so the result is I stopped all my other projects to focus on this one. On 4 days I've already stitched a total of 2996 stitches so if I keep up the pace I'll be able to finish it on time. As you probably have noticed by now I'm not giving any details about this mistery project because it's for someone that reads my blog and I don't want to ruin the surprise. But although I don't share the picture, I'll update you on my progress by sharing the number of stitches it has.
As this weekend is the IHWS again, I plan to stitch on my Mistery Project for the full day today and tomorrow I'll make an exeption day and stitch on SK Treasures, since we received the 2nd page this week and I want to have a picture to share as well and not only a boring text :)

And because I don't want to close the post with no pictures to show.... I'll share with you some of my first projects stitched years ago.
