Last week was crazy...with Maria Fernanda's birthday, me having the flu and with tons of things to do at work I&amp;nbsp;could only&amp;nbsp;pick up&amp;nbsp;a needle&amp;nbsp;for a couple of hours one&amp;nbsp;evening.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This week I decided no matter what I was going make some time to stitch :) I've worked on SK Blue Moon, and this is how it looks so far. I'm kind of anxious to see her face, I'm worried that because it's a&amp;nbsp;"small"&amp;nbsp;HAED (storykeep) a lot of the details on her face will be lost and it won't look right :S &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;La semana pasada fue un poco loca...el cumple de Maria Fernanda, yo estaba resfriada y además un montón de trabajo en la oficina así que sólo pude bordar por una par de horas una noche. Esta semana decidí que tenía que hacer tiempo sí o sí para bordar un poco :). Bordé en SK Blue Moon, y asi es como se ve actualmente. Estoy un poco ansiosa en ver su cara, como es un HAED "pequeño" me preocupa que se haya perdido mucho detalle de la cara y que al final no quede bien :S&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RrBpvmNY20g/S0aLZJ0UYiI/AAAAAAAACVE/__lhP__NUiI/s1600/linea2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-RrBpvmNY20g/S0aLZJ0UYiI/AAAAAAAACVE/__lhP__NUiI/s800/linea2.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;This year I'm taking part on the International Hermit &amp;amp; Stitch Weekend SAL; this weekend is the first one of 2012.

As I'd mentioned in a previous post, during&amp;nbsp;the first week of&amp;nbsp;2012 I was going to start a project&amp;nbsp;per day. Well as always things didn't go as planned&amp;nbsp;and I&amp;nbsp;couldn't stitch the first three days; so instead of&amp;nbsp;7 new WIPs I have&amp;nbsp;3. I'll start the other&amp;nbsp;4 that where mentioned in my WIPocalypse list when I finish some of my current WIPs :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Here are pics of my new projects:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;caption align="bottom"&gt;&lt;/caption&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/11707094@N05/6669351391/" title="SK Blue Moon - week 1 by Carla77, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="SK Blue Moon - week 1" height="100" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7163/6669351391_fdea601a12_t.jpg" width="75" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SK Blue Moon~ HAED&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/11707094@N05/6669255591/" title="Princess Birth Record by Carla77, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Princess Birth Record" height="100" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7157/6669255591_9e44047241_t.jpg" width="75" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Princess ~ Bucilla &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/11707094@N05/6669394185/" title="SO-380 Scent of Wind by Carla77, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="SO-380 Scent of Wind" height="100" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7022/6669394185_10c1b74847_t.jpg" width="75" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO-380 Scent of Wind&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align="center"&gt;.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Este es mi primer reporte para el WIPocalypse. Como había mencionado en una entrada anterior, durante la primera semana del 2012 iba a comenzar un nuevo proyecto por día. Bueno, las cosas no se dieron cómo había planeado y no pude bordar nada durante los 3 primeros días del año; así que en vez de 7 nuevos proyectos tengo 3. Comenzaré los otros&amp;nbsp;4 que fueron mencionados en mi lista para el WIPocalypse cuando haya terminado algunos de los proyectos que tengo en progreso actualmente :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Arriba pueden ver fotos de mis nuevos proyectos. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" rea="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W5OMM97zskg/Twdmp3HQUVI/AAAAAAAACe4/tqXLnQNyBqo/s1600/carla2w.gif" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7882244-8070524639494656400?l=ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/feeds/8070524639494656400/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7882244&amp;postID=8070524639494656400&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7882244/posts/default/8070524639494656400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7882244/posts/default/8070524639494656400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/2012/01/mmmmmnot-great-stitching-week-s.html' title='Mmmmm...not a great stitching week :S'/><author><name>Carla</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15884406701657210293</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SvGhm26JdsI/AAAAAAAACTI/ZsRJBBWtIbM/S220/tilda14.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W5OMM97zskg/Twdmp3HQUVI/AAAAAAAACe4/tqXLnQNyBqo/s72-c/carla2w.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882244.post-1071939292751895867</id><published>2012-01-01T23:30:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T23:30:02.001-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stitching goals'/><title type='text'>Hello 2012!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;I'm going to set monthly goals again this year, to see if that helps me with my stitching :) .

Espero cambiar eso el próximo año, por eso decidí unirme a &lt;a href="http://measi.net/measiblog/" target="_blank"&gt;Measi&lt;/a&gt; en su WIPocalypse. Como dicen que el 2012 es el fin del mundo, pues es la escusa perfecta para intentar terminar algunos de nuestros proyectos. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;En este SAL esta permitido empezar nuevos proyectos y yo he planeado empezar 7, uno por día en la primera semana de enero ;), sumando éstos a mis WIPs actuales ... esta es mi lista para el Wipocalypse (en orden de prioridad):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;1.

Aquí les muestro mi progreso de las dos últimas semanas; completé todo lo va con hilo negro y ya he empezado a rellenar con color :) .

After 18 months of a heart and lung transplant, her body rejected the organs and she died at age 26. I remember reading her post on&amp;nbsp;the HAED forum, and altough I didn't know her I was shocked when I read she had died. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Some ladies from a stitching forum decided to organize The Chelsea's Gift Project. We are stitching a piece charted by HAED, the art is by Hannah Lynn and this piece was commissioned to Hannah by Chelsea, you can see that the octopus is holding the heart and lungs. The piece is divided and 20 sections one each of the 20 stitcher that are participating in this project, and then it will be sew together and it will be a gift for Chelsea's mom. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Last week I started my part which is marked in a red square on the picture in the left. Here's my progress after the weekend. I haven't touched it since Sunday as I've been really busy this week but hopefully can make a little bit of progress this weekend :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/11707094@N05/6445014821/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Week 1 by Carla77, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Week 1" height="320" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7031/6445014821_66c10d7842.jpg" width="256" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;El 15 de julio la comunidad de bordadora perdió a una dulce&amp;nbsp;muchacha llamada Chelsea. Luego de 18 meses de un transplante de corazón y pulmones, su cuerpo rechazó los organos transplantados y Chelsea murio a los 26 años. Recuerdo haber leido algunos de sus comentarios en el foro de HAED, y a pesar que no la conocía me sorprendio mucho su repentina muerte. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Unas chicas de un foro de bordados decidieron organizar el Proyecto Chelsea. Estamos bordando un gráfico de HAED basado en el arte de Hannah Lynn, Chelsea pidio a Hannah uq epintara esta pieza para ella, pueden ver que debajo del pulpo estan el corazón y los pulmones. La pieza se ha dividido en 20 secciones una para cad una de las 20 bordadoras que estamos participando en este proyecto, una vez finalizado el bordado se uniran las secciones y se entregara como regalo a la mamá de Chelsea. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;La semana pasada comencé mi parte, que esta marcada en un cuadrado rojo en el dibujo de aribal.

For a moment I thought of starting over but finally didn't,  because I think it still looks beautiful done with cross stitches. For the back I stitched the year and Merry Christmas, one over one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;I really like how it turned out and I'm happy that Carol likes it too! :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Este fin de semana &lt;a href="http://www.carolsxsblog.blogspot.com/"&gt;Carol&lt;/a&gt; recibió el adornito que le envié para un intercambio de adornos de Navidad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Carol a lo largo del año realiza varios adornos de Navidad por lo que quería asegurame que el que le hiciera ella no lo hubiera hecho antes. Mi elección fue Peace Ornament de la edición de Navidad de la revista Just Cross Stitch. Cuando estaba por terminar el bordado, me di cuenta que las instrucciones indicaba que el bordado era con puntos especiales :S ! Por un momento pensé en comenzar uno nuevo pero finalmente deseche la idea pues me parecía que se veía bonito bordado con punto cruz. Para la parte trasera borde el año y "Feliz Navidad", uno sobre uno.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Me gusta mucho como quedó y me alegra mucho saber que a Carol también le gustó :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/11707094@N05/6317198186/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Peace Ornament by Carla77, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Peace Ornament" height="397" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6045/6317198186_47e35cb572.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Design : Peace Ornament by Keepsake Stitches&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Magazine : Just Cross Stitch - 2011 Special Christmas Issue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Stitched on 32ct Dark Fury Lugana (Enchanted&amp;nbsp;Fabrics) with DMC threads &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Started: 05.

This time she asked me to stitch this cute robins wearing Christmas hats :) and finished them as a scissor fob. I'm not showing the back but the chart comes with an alphabet and numbers so you can personalize it with your name or initials and the year. I think the size is perfect also for a Chritmas ornament :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;I've also have finished a ornament for a exchange but I'll have to show it in another post because my partner hasn't received it yet.

Esta vez me pidio que bordara estos lindos petirrojos usando gorros de Navidad :) y que les terminara como un "buscatijeras". En esta foto no les muestro el reverso pero el gráfifoincluye un alfabeto y números para que puedas personalizarlo con tu nombre o iniciales y el año. Creo que el tamaño también es perfecto como para un adorno de Navidad :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Además de este modelo, también he bordado un adorno de Navidad para un intercambio pero como aún no lo tiene la destinataria aún no les puedo enseñar una foto. Ahora voy a retomar el bordado en Christmas Elf Fairy pero también estoy pensando en bordar algo pequeño para Halloween, tendran que esperar a mi sgte. post para ver que decidí finalmente ;) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Feliz fin de semana!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/11707094@N05/6231883563/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Robin Scissor Fob by Carla77, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Robin Scissor Fob" height="320" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6119/6231883563_c630f6c43e.jpg" width="223" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Design: Christmas Robins Scissor Fob by Barbara Ana Designs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Stitched on 4oct Ice Cappuccino R&amp;amp;R Reproductions Linen with DMC threads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Started: 25.

I like small ornies that's why I did it on 40ct linen with DMC thread, for the&amp;nbsp;beaded edge I used Mill Hills beads 02063 and 60161.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;When I was almost finished stitching this piece I noticed I had made a huuuge mistake, I notice a big space between the letters and two of the gifts....I had added like&amp;nbsp;10 columns to the red gift, I didn't have time to stitch another piece so to fill the gap I added Christmas bulb lights to fill that space :P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Hoy recibí un correo de Marie P, haciendome saber que había recibido el pequeño adorno que le había enviado para un intercambio.

It has been almost a year since I had stitched a model for Barbara, and like always I love how it turned out, really like the colors she used in it. She told me she wanted me to finish it as a scissor fob so that's what I did; I didn't have any Halloween beads to finish it so I ask DBF to do some for me and he came up with this cute cat and pumpkins :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Este es el último modelo que he realizado para Barbara Ana, esta semana ella ha puesto a la venta este diseño por lo que ya puedo enseñar fotos de él. Hace casi un año desde que borde un modelo para Barbara, y como siempre me encantó el resultado, me gustan mucho la combinación de colores que empleo.

There is a lot of "confetti" stitches in this part of the design but I'm enjoying working on it. This is the first time I'm stitching a HAED design two over two (I'm doing it on 36ct Edinburgh linen) so far I'm happy with the way it looks :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Now I'm now going to put this piece aside to start Nataliejo's Stitch Club 2011.

Next week I'll show you my progress ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;El 16 de junio empecé a bordar SK Rapunzel, luego de dos semanas de trabajar en él este es mi avance. Hay mucho "confetti" en esta parte del diseño pero a pesar de ello lo estoy disfrutando. Es la primera vez que bordo un diseño de HAED sobre 2 hebras de hilo (lo estoy realizando en un lino 36ct)hasta el momento me gusta como va quedando :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Ahora voy aponer este proyecto a un lado para empezar el diseño de Nataliejo. Recibí la primera parte la semana pasada y es hermoso!!! La próxima semana les enseño mi avance ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7882244-5668617892523315920?l=ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/feeds/5668617892523315920/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7882244&amp;postID=5668617892523315920&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7882244/posts/default/5668617892523315920'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7882244/posts/default/5668617892523315920'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/2011/07/sk-rapunzel-new-start.html' title='SK Rapunzel ~ new start'/><author><name>Carla</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15884406701657210293</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SvGhm26JdsI/AAAAAAAACTI/ZsRJBBWtIbM/S220/tilda14.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5112/5891798760_d71a05374b_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882244.post-2745045991766229943</id><published>2011-06-24T09:35:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-06-24T09:35:05.613-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Old and new</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/11707094@N05/5866730560/" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="Faces of Faery 09 by Carla77, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Faces of Faery 09" height="189" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3237/5866730560_49df3a847e.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;One of my goals for this year was to work on the projects I had left unfinished last year when I got pregnant. I left three HAEDs in progress (one of those I've already finished) and this week I picked up Faces of Faery 09, I started it in 2009 and only have left to stitch 2 pages (one is a partial one). This is how it looked the last time I worked on it, I'm hope I can finish it sometime this year :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Una de mis metas de este año era completar los proyectos que había dejado a medias el año pasado cuando estaba embarazada. Dejé tres HAEDs en progreso (uno de ellos ya lo terminé) y esta semana retomé Faces of Faery 09, que había empezado en el 2009 y que sólo me faltan 2 páginas (una de ella parcial) para terminarlo. Así es como se veía la última vez que borde en él; espero poder terminarlo este año.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/11707094@N05/5811489927/" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Storykeep Rapunzel by Carla77, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Storykeep Rapunzel" height="200" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3551/5811489927_01d300e892.jpg" width="35" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;I've also started a new HAED :). I signed up for the bb's midyear SAL that started last week, my choice was a design by artist Jasmine Becket-Griffith that's called Storykeep Rapunzel. Here's a pic of how it should look like when it's finished...I'll show you my progress next week, when I have a little bit more done ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;También he empezado un nuevo HAED :) .

That night I finished "Dont Disturb"; I wasn't sure if I wanted to stitch all that white for the sign's background but at the end decided to stitch it. I hate to stitch with white because the stitches don't look even but this time it wasn't so bad and I'm happy with the way they look :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;El miércoles, encontré a María Fernanda ya durmiendo cuando llegue a casa del trabajo (más o menos a las 5.30 pm), así que decidí aprovechar ese tiempo y borde hasta la medianoche :) (hacia mucho tiempo que no podía hacer eso!). Esa noche terminé "Don't Disturb", no estaba segura si bordar el fondo del panel pues me parece que las cruces no se ven parejas cuando las haces con blanco. Pero bueno al final lo bordé y no fue tan malo...me parece que ha quedado bien :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/11707094@N05/5840739578/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Don't Disturb by Carla77, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Don't Disturb" height="390" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5062/5840739578_9ffec987d9.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Design: SO-OP8 Don't Disturb by Soda Stitch &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Stitched on 32ct Country Mocha Belfast&amp;nbsp;Linen (two over two) with DMC threads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Stitch count: 59w x 59h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Started: 24.

As I said in my previous post my stitching time is very limited this days so my progress&amp;nbsp;is slow. One of the pieces is a Shepherd's Bush freebie I&amp;nbsp;found online,&amp;nbsp;I work on&amp;nbsp;it on my ride to and from work and only when the bus is not too crowded. .&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The other piece is a Soda Stitch design, I love the bright color in it :), they really stand out against the fabric. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Hola :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Esta semana no he podido terminar ningún proyecto, así que les muestro una foto de mis avances. Como mencioné en la entrada anterior mi tiene para bordar es muy limitado estos dias por lo que mi avance es lento. Uno de los diseños que estoy realizando es un gráfico gratis de Shepherd's Bush, sólo bordo en él durante el viaje de ida y vuelta a trabajo y sólo cuando el bus no esta muy congestionado. El otro es un diseño de Soda Stitch, me encantan los colores que se utilizan en este proyecto. Realmente resaltan en la tela.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;**********************************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Remember the little dragon I finished a couple of weeks ago? Well, I had it framed immediately and on Saturday I gave it to my dad.

It's a two page design and I had finished page 1 last year. I started page 2 at the begining of April and this is my progress so far. I hope I can finish it this month :)﻿&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Luego de haber terminado el freebie, retome el bordado de un HAED (SK Dragon Luck) que habia dejado a medio a un lado en febrero del año pasado. Es un diseño de dos páginas y ya había completado la página 1 el año pasado. Empecé la página 2 a principios de abril y este es mi avance al dia de hoy. Espero terminarlo este mes :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;**********************************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;During Holy Week of Easter we went to visit my boyfriend´s family, in his hometown Ayacucho (you can read about the city &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayacucho"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;).

I've picked up Shh Now and my goal is to finish at least 2 pages maybe even 3 pages so I'll reach the half way point on this design.

As you can see I've changed its&amp;nbsp;color because&amp;nbsp;I wanted both children to have dark hair...I'm really happy with the way it looks :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;The battery of my camera is dead so I had to scan my piece this time (the fabric color is really off :S)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Por fin terminé el niñito en mi proyecto de Soda Stitch. Hoy desperte temprano (5am! que es super temprano para mis estandares ya que normalmente despierto a las 7.30am :P) y decidí terminar si o si el cabello del niño. Como notaran he cambiado el color original del cabello pues queria que ambos niños tengan el pelo oscuro...estoy muy contenta con el cambio me gusta como esta quedando. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;La bateria de mi camara esta descargada así que tuve que escanearla esta vez (el color de la tela salio muy mal :S)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Three weeks ago, I went with my boyfriend and my sister Carol to have&amp;nbsp;my 4D scan and we the chance to see the baby moving inside me ♥ .

I added a bat button from JABC because the cat looks&amp;nbsp;kind of scared so this one is spooked by the bat :)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;No idea how I'm going to finish it, maybe into a medium size tin, like this &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/2008/07/good-things.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;one&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;...but I'm not sure as it has to be done before the weekend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Esta semana, tengo un pequeño bordado&amp;nbsp;que mostrarles :) Deje un par de semanas a&amp;nbsp;un lado mi proyecto de Soda para bordar este simpático gato-calabaza para mi novio. El me hizo una calabaza de Halloween por lo que en retorno yo le hice este gatito....le encantan los gatos. Agregué un botón de murciélago pues el gato tiene cara de asustado así que mi historia es que este gatito esta espantado por&amp;nbsp;el murciélago ;) . Aún no tengo claro que tipo de acabado le voy a dar, tal vez haga algo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/2008/07/good-things.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;así&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;... no lo sé pero tiene que estar terminado-terminado antes del fin de semana.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/11707094@N05/5118444080/" title="Pumpkin Pie by Carla77, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Pumpkin Pie" height="241" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1204/5118444080_cb0596c895.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Design : Pumpkin Pie by Margaret Sherry&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;(Cross Stitcher UK Issue 232)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Stitched on 28ct Peach&amp;nbsp;Linen with&amp;nbsp;Anchor threads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Stitch count: 45w x 43h &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Started: 16.

Este es mi progreso luego de 4 sesiones de bordado (aprox. 6 horas en total). Lo estoy realizando en un lino 32ct uno sobre dos, al principio no estaba segura si me gustaba cómo se veía el fondo de la tela a través de las cruces negras pero luego de rellenar un poco el gatito me gusta como se ve, me parece que se ve un poco más delicado así que estoy contenta de mi decisión de bordarlo así. Pueden ver cómo es el diseño completo en la barra lateral&amp;nbsp;del blog...estoy planeando tener un fin de semana de bordado por lo que espero poder enseñarles un buen avance la próxima semana :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ox="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/TIkQUUIuTjI/AAAAAAAACYA/GTeMQHZkff4/s320/cc2.gif" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7882244-4852574963694303166?l=ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/feeds/4852574963694303166/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7882244&amp;postID=4852574963694303166&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7882244/posts/default/4852574963694303166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7882244/posts/default/4852574963694303166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/2010/09/my-new-start.html' title='My new start :)'/><author><name>Carla</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15884406701657210293</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SvGhm26JdsI/AAAAAAAACTI/ZsRJBBWtIbM/S220/tilda14.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4131/4973822577_735f6e8b59_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882244.post-8893498441684736481</id><published>2010-09-02T13:36:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-02T13:37:12.482-05:00</updated><title type='text'>A small finish ºÜº</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Like I've said in previous posts, I kind of lost my stitching mojo for the last few months but I think I finally go it back :) I've put aside for a while my HAED pieces&amp;nbsp;and will only stitch on smaller pieces, that way I can get motivated with my stitching again. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;When Barbara Ana sent me her one of her models&amp;nbsp;to stitch, she also sent me&amp;nbsp;this cute little&amp;nbsp;design. Love those&amp;nbsp; big eyes of the chameleons! I chose to stitch it in a Dark Chocolate fabric and love how the color pop on the fabric. I had to stitch the stitcks where the chameleons are standing in DMC433 so it wouldn't get lost in the fabric.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Hope to show you my new start sometime next week ;) !!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Como ya mencione antes, en los últimos meses&amp;nbsp;perdí un poco&amp;nbsp;las ganas de bordar pero que finalmente eso ya paso y volveré a mis bordados :) Voy a dejar a un lado los HAEDs que estaba haciendo y sólo realizaré bordados más&amp;nbsp;pequeños, creo que así me mantendré motivada a bordar. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Cuando Barbara Ana me envió el gráfico de uno de sus diseño de Kokeshi para que le bordara, también me envió este pequeño diseño de camaleones que me encantó. Esos ojazos me encantan! Escogí para este diseño, un lino de color chocolate oscuro y me parecen que los colores sobresalen muy bien con este fondo. Lo que si es que tuve que cambiar el color de los tronquitos donde están parados los camaleones a DMC433 pues el marrón original se perdía en la tela. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Espero poder mostrarles un avance de mi nuevo bordado la próxima semana ;)!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4152/4951427703_62b612a735.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" ox="true" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4152/4951427703_62b612a735.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Design : Chameleon by Barbara Ana Designs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Stitched on 32ct Dark Chocolate Belfast Linen with DMC threads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Stitch count: 72w x 31h &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Started: 18.

But I do have some news to share...I'm pregnant!! I'm 17 weeks pregnant and finally all the symptoms I had during the first trimester are gone :) In my next doctor's appointment will find out the sex of the baby *yay*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:xx-small;"&gt;Ha pasado mucho tiempo desde la ultima vez que publique algo en este blog y la verdad es que no he tenido nada nuevo que mostrar ya que no he estado bordado en todo este tiempo. Pero si tengo noticias que contar..estoy embarazada!! Tengo 17 semanas de embarazo y felizmente ya están pasando todas las molestias que tuve en el primer trimestre :) En mi próxima consulta que será a fin de mes espero me confirmen el sexo del bebé *yay*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;div style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none"&gt;&lt;a style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; FLOAT: left; CLEAR: left; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em; cssfloat: left" title="Sara Moon by Carla77, on Flickr" href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4123/4888114453_d0db8300dd_z.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:xx-small;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sara Moon" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4123/4888114453_d0db8300dd_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:xx-small;"&gt;Today, my sister Carol sent me a photo of her progress on a Sara Moon design she is stitching.

It's been a while since I updated my blog. I just didn't have anything to share as I haven't been stitching much lately. But this morning&amp;nbsp;I decided to start something small and see if that motivates me to stitch more. Here's a pic of what I have done so far, it's a kit by Anchor but I changed the fabric from the kit to lugana. My plan is to finish it this week, lets see how that goes :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hola! Ha pasado un buen tiempo desde que actualice mi blog. No he estado bordando mucho ultimamente por lo que no he tenido nada nuevo de compartir. Pero esta mañana decidi comenzar una labor pequeña y ver si eso me motiva a coger la aguja mas seguido. Aqui una foto de mi avance; es un kit de Anchor pero he reemplazado la tela que venia por lugana. Mi plan es terminarlo esta semana, vamos a ver que tal me va :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/S51CMsDjflI/AAAAAAAACXA/13uGb6WcGQE/s1600/gif012b.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/S51CMsDjflI/AAAAAAAACXA/13uGb6WcGQE/s320/gif012b.gif" vt="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7882244-24094825373101387?l=ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/feeds/24094825373101387/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7882244&amp;postID=24094825373101387&amp;isPopup=true' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7882244/posts/default/24094825373101387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7882244/posts/default/24094825373101387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/2010/03/new-start.html' title='A new start'/><author><name>Carla</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15884406701657210293</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SvGhm26JdsI/AAAAAAAACTI/ZsRJBBWtIbM/S220/tilda14.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2737/4433234474_9449d79af0_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882244.post-7729712528053408610</id><published>2010-02-14T13:28:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-02-14T13:28:59.855-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Dogs leave paw prints</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;This week I finished a small design by Lizzie*Kate called Dogs leave paw prints. It's stitched on Country Mocha belfast linen (Zweigart) with DMC threads (used the conversion provided in the chart). I already have an idea of how I want to finish it but you'll have to wait a little bit to see it :)&amp;nbsp;The dog in the picture is Hugo, our beautiful English bulldog, who died a few years ago from liver cancer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Esta semana bordé un diseño de Lizzie*Kate. Lo he realizado sobre lino de Zweigart ("Country Mocha") con la conversión de hilos DMC que se recomendaba. Más o menos tengo una idea de que tipo de acabado le quiero dar pero bueno tendran que esperar un poco para verlo :) El perrito de la foto es Huguito, nuestro precioso bulldog inglés, que murio hace algunos años de cancer hepático.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2691/4355994137_723428cd23_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" ct="true" height="276" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2691/4355994137_723428cd23_b.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Design: Dogs Leave Paw Prints by Lizzie*Kate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Stitched on 32ct Country Mocha Belfast Linen with DMC threads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Stitch count: 59w x 59h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Started: 10.

Mylo detesta que le tomen fotos, fue imposible obtener una en la que el mirara a la cámara.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2709/4338476411_ba5e8ed9b1_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" kt="true" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2709/4338476411_ba5e8ed9b1_b.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for&amp;nbsp;your lovely&amp;nbsp;comments regarding&amp;nbsp;my first finish of 2010 :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Muchas gracias por visitar mi blog y por los lindos comentarios que dejaron acerca de mi primer labor terminada del 2010 :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.simplyshantastic.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kt="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/S29NQyw6mMI/AAAAAAAACVs/9YZNhZDh0tE/s320/c89.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7882244-7995249821719612615?l=ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/feeds/7995249821719612615/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7882244&amp;postID=7995249821719612615&amp;isPopup=true' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7882244/posts/default/7995249821719612615'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7882244/posts/default/7995249821719612615'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/2010/02/page-1-done.html' title='Page 1 done!'/><author><name>Carla</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15884406701657210293</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SvGhm26JdsI/AAAAAAAACTI/ZsRJBBWtIbM/S220/tilda14.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4042/4338470719_203a219083_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882244.post-2154015851364585182</id><published>2010-01-31T21:26:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2010-01-31T21:26:59.486-05:00</updated><title type='text'>First finish of 2010!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4026/4320177305_5a82e6df12_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" kt="true" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4026/4320177305_5a82e6df12_b.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Today I had my first happy dance of 2010!! And I not only finished the stitching but also finished it as a no-sew cube (the second one I do). Need practice how to make a nice bow, but I'm still happy with the outcome :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;I made a couple of changes in the thread color of the original design. I used Anchor 848 for the mice fur and all the parts that the chart called for DMC4200 I substitued with&amp;nbsp;ThreadWorx 1094 (party time). As you can see in the pic on the left,&amp;nbsp;I had stitched some letter with &amp;nbsp;DMC4200 but I wasn't sure I liked it so decided to look through my collection of threads and found this choice of ThreadWorx I like best for this design :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Hoy terminé mi primer bordado del año!! Y no sólo lo terminé de bordar sino que hasta le dí un acabado, en este caso un cubo (el segundo que hago). Aún necesito practicar un poco cómo hacer un moño más bonito, pero igual estoy bastante contenta con el resultado final :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Le hice un par de&amp;nbsp;modificaciones a los colores del diseño original. El pelaje del ratoncito lo bordé con Anchor 848 y las partes del diseño que indicaba bordarlos con DMC4200 lo sustituí con ThreadWorx 1094 (Party Time), como verán en la foto de la izquierda ya había bordado gran parte de las letras con el hilo DMC pero la verdad no me convencía mucho y entonces decidí buscar entre mi colección de hilos otra opción y encontré este de ThreadWorx que me gusta más para este diseño :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4049/4320914382_4c845042c8_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="246" kt="true" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4049/4320914382_4c845042c8_b.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Design: Purrfect Love by Barbara Ana Designs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Stitched on 28ct Platinum Jubilee with DMC, Anchor and ThreadWorx threads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Stitch count: 57w x 58h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Started: 12.

Last week while going through my finished pieces I decided to finish it. When I was sewing the biscornu, I noticed I had not stitched the "tail" of one of the ghosts...so I guess I can consider this a 2009 finish &lt;img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss41/ccs_stuff/wink.gif" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;El año pasado, borde este diseño pero nunca le acabe como biscornu. La semana pasada que estaba viendo las piezas que tengo bordadas pero que aun estan esperando ser terminadas-terminadas, lo vi y pues nada decidi terminarlo. Mientras estaba cosiendo me di cuenta que me habia olvidado de bordar la "cola" de uno de los fantasmas...asi que supongo que realmente no lo termine el año pasado y lo puedo considerar como algo que termine de bordar este año &lt;img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss41/ccs_stuff/wink.gif" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3504/4029818790_067a2e37c6_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394754116734251346" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/St4ESVqFcVI/AAAAAAAACSg/NYl4cJkbYys/s400/Hallowscornu.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 342px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;Design: Hallowscornu by Barbara Ana Designs&lt;br /&gt;Stitched on 28ct London Fob Lugana (Silkweaver) with DMC&lt;br /&gt;Stitch count: 68w x 68h&lt;br /&gt;Stitched on: July 2008 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 85%;"&gt;On Saturday a new member joined our family &lt;img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss41/ccs_stuff/love.gif" /&gt;.

It's called Faces of Faery 09 and I'm stitching it on 25ct Jobelan one over one ~ full crosses. There are a lot of blocks of colors in this design so I think it will stitch up pretty fast (for a HAED that is!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Hope everyone has a nice weekend!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Han pasado casi dos semanas desde que actualicé el blog, supongo que no tenía nada que compartir.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;La semana pasada me anoté a un SAL en el foro de HAED y entonces decidí empezar un nuevo proyecto, no tuve mucho tiempo para bordar pero igual logre un buen avance. El diseño se llama Faces of Faery 09 y lo estoy realizando en 25ct jobelan uno sobre uno. Hay muchos bloques de colores en este diseño así que creo que lo podre avanzar rápido (bueno rápido considerando que es un HAED!).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Espero tengan un buen fin de semana!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-small;"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 94px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290931884657589282" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SW0qhDvNvCI/AAAAAAAAB_M/84p2BumczBo/s400/linea2.gif" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;August goals:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;1.

Este fin de semana bordé dos&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;bloques más: "creepy" y "pumpkin", como pueden ver ya llevo un poco más de la mitad se la serie bordada :) &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Buenas noches a todos y gracias por visitar mi blog!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ccsstuffgallery.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 117px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 80px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360368049898139986" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SmPaV0eIMVI/AAAAAAAACPk/QQ94x_CB7HU/s400/c16.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7882244-4190584725370972486?l=ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/feeds/4190584725370972486/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7882244&amp;postID=4190584725370972486&amp;isPopup=true' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7882244/posts/default/4190584725370972486'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7882244/posts/default/4190584725370972486'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ccsstitchingdiary.blogspot.com/2009/07/weekend-stitching.html' title='Weekend stitching'/><author><name>Carla</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15884406701657210293</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SvGhm26JdsI/AAAAAAAACTI/ZsRJBBWtIbM/S220/tilda14.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3501/3737858716_093a7455eb_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882244.post-2746818453257512904</id><published>2009-07-14T22:14:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-14T22:14:49.972-05:00</updated><title type='text'>HAED SAL</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2652/3721884279_1400ec0fe0_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 160px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2652/3721884279_1400ec0fe0_m.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Thank you all so much for your comments about my finish in my previous post.

Pero no fue que ver los diseños de Hannah Disney en la página web que HAED que nuevamente sintio la necesidad de bordar :) Este no es el primer diseño de HAED que termina, en el 2006 bordó &lt;a href="http://www.ccsstuffgallery.com/2006/rune_gypsy.htm"&gt;Rune Gypsy&lt;/a&gt; que ahora esta colgado en casa de mamá.

I'm going to stitch two more designs from this kit and do the finishing of all three at once, so this one will be put away for a couple of month until I stitch the other two. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;It's a holiday here in Peru and I plan to spend all day stitching :) &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Anoche terminé de bordar este adorno de un hombre de nieve. Es un diseño de un kit de Dimension y mi addorno correspondiente al mes de junio para el blog 2009 Christmas Challenge. No sabía que bordar para el adorno de este mes hasta que Carol me recordó que tenia este kit. Voy a bordar 2 diseños más de este kit y haré el acabado de los tres al mismo tiempo así que este de aca tendrá que esperar un para de meses para&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;ser acabado-acabado. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Es un día feriado aca en Perú y planeo bordar tooodo el día :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3348/3672165860_b72de3f3f3_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 192px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3348/3672165860_b72de3f3f3_m.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Design: Snowman Ornament by Dimensions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Kit #08789 ~ Santa &amp;amp; Snowman Ornaments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Stitched on 32ct Antique White Jobelan with thread provided in the kit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Started: 22.

El SAL va de viernes a lunes y durante esos días he bordado un muchísimo :) Quería terminar la pagina 2 pero nop...no pude; igual estoy muy contenta con el avance que logré. Conté el total de punto que hice durante el SAL (que aburrida, no? :P) y complete 2,847 puntos, ya avance un 41,6% de este diseño.

He visto a Carol usarlo cuando borda HAEDs así que decidí probarlo, hasta ahora todo va bien :) &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 94px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 15px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290931884657589282" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SW0qhDvNvCI/AAAAAAAAB_M/84p2BumczBo/s400/linea2.gif" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I heard from &lt;a href="http://annas-this-and-that.blogspot.com/"&gt;Anna S&lt;/a&gt;., the birthday gift I sent her had arrived :) . I read in her blog that she liked pink and saw in her wishlist some LHN designs so I decided to make this little pillow using &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3317/3597163862_76a0b153b0.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;a design from Little House Needleworks, Rose Sampler. I received this chart as part of my birthday gift from &lt;a href="http://marycecillia.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mary&lt;/a&gt; last year and thought this would be a perfect opportunity to stitch it :) I think it turned out lovely and I'm happy that Anna likes it :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hoy&lt;a href="http://annas-this-and-that.blogspot.com/"&gt; Anna S&lt;/a&gt;. me escribio para decirme que había recibbido el regalo de cumpleaños que le había enviado :) Leí en su blog que le gustaba el color rosa y ví en su "wishlist" varios diseños de LHN, así que decidí hacerle una pequeña almohada usando un diseño de Little House Needleworks llamado Rose Sampler. Recibí este chart de &lt;a href="http://marycecillia.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mary&lt;/a&gt; como parte de mi regalo de cumpleaños el año pasado y me pareció que esta era la oportunidad perfecta para bordarlo :) Me parece que quedó lindo y me agrada saber que a Anna S. le gustó :)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SikvhCYgkDI/AAAAAAAACOM/letogQ-cEjY/s1600-h/Rosesampler.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 367px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343854677473660978" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SikvhCYgkDI/AAAAAAAACOM/letogQ-cEjY/s400/Rosesampler.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Design: Rose Sampler by Little House Needleworks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Stitched on 32ct Antique White Jobelan with DMC threads&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Stitch count: 61w x 94h &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Started: 22.

I'm really happy with the progress I made this month :) After I finish it, I'll have to check carefully if I've not let any whole because I've been jumping all over the place in this design and I've left a lot of single stitches unstitched :S &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Después que terminé QS Tag Alongs, puse como proyecto objetivo: The Guardian :P . Estoy muy contenta con el avance que he tenido este mes :) Después que termine de bordarlo debere revisar cuidadosamente si no he dejado algún puntito sin bordar, ya que estado saltando por todas partes en esete bordado y ya he podido ver que tengo varias areas en las que solo me falta una sola puntada :S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3634/3582490554_0079bcf56e_b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px" alt="" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3634/3582490554_0079bcf56e_m.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I'm all set to start another HAED; this time I chose a full size design not a quick stitch. It's an artwork by Zindy Nielsen and the chart has 15 pages in total. I'm stitching it on a hand-dyed fabric because the design has a lot of off-white stitches (tons of it!) and I think it would be a nightmare to stitch white on white fabric. Well I'm off to iron my fabric and start stitching!!!...Happy Sunday! &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Estoy lista para empezar un nuevo HAED; esta vez no haré un "quickstitch" sino un diseño mucho mas grande. El arte es de Zindy Nielsen y el gráfico consta de 15 páginas. Lo haré sobre una tela teñida ya que este diseño tiene muchísimo blanco y creo que me resultaria una pesadilla bordar blanco sobre blanco,. Bueno me voy a planchar mi tela para poder empezar a bordar!! .... Feliz domingo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290931884657589282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 94px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 15px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SW0qhDvNvCI/AAAAAAAAB_M/84p2BumczBo/s400/linea2.gif" border="0" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;June goals:&lt;br /&gt;1.

The last time I showed it to you she had finished stitching all the black on the first two pages, she's now filling in all the blank spaces.

La ultima vez que se las enseñe habia terminado de bordar todo los que iba con negro en las dos primeras paginas, ahora esta rellenando todos los espacios.

And yesterday while watching a movie I did the finishing. The design is a freebie by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stitchykitty.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Stitchy Kitty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; , it is stitched on 32ct lugana with the recommended DMC threads except a red that was called for the border but I replaced it with the light pink I used in the penguin's hat. It is stitched two over two except the white on the penguin that was done one over two as I think my stitches look more nice and even this way. Don't you think this little penguin is super cute :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;El viernes terminé de bordar mi adorno de navidad para diciembre; y ayer mientras veía una peli le dí el acabado.

But this past weeken&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;d was HAED's freebie SAL so I picked up my needle again and almost finished page 1 of QS Dark Cherry. I wanted to finish this page during this month's SAL as page 2 has already been sent to all of us that signed up for this SAL but that didn't happen....too much "confetti stitches". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Now that I got my stitching mojo back, I'll stitch this month's Christmas ornie. I've already decided what I'm going to stitch so hopefully by the end of the week I'll show you a picture of it finished :) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;No he publicado nada desde hace casi dos semana pues estuve enferma, agarre algun bicho y me enferme del estomago y una vez que me recupere pues no tenia ningun deseo de bordar :( , no borde absolutamente nada por una semana más o menos lo cual es poco usual en mi. Pero el pasado fin de semana fue el freebie SAL en el foro de HAED así que nuevamente agarre mi aguja y ya casi termino la primera página de QS Dark Cherry. Mi intención era terminar esta página durante el SAL de este mes pero no se pudo... mucho cambio de color ("confetti").&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ahora que ya mis deseos de bordar han regresado mi siguiente labor será realizar el adorno de Navidad del mes.

I think San Man Originals snowmen designs are very cute so I chose to stitch one called Happy Winter for this exchange. The design is stitched on 32ct lugana 2 over 2 except the snowman. I had stitched it 2 over 2 but I didn't like how my stitches looked ... all wonky and ugly, so I frogged them and re-stitched the snowman 1 over 2, I think it looks neatter this way :) . I used silver metallic thread in some snowflakes to add a little bit of sparkle! Finished it as a pinkeep, for the back I used a cute snowmen fabric and for the edges a ribbon with various shades of blue. I thought this one turn out cute, wasn't sure if she would like what I have made with the ribbon... I think she likes it, so that makes me happy :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Hoy, &lt;a href="http://goldstitch.blogspot.com/"&gt;Goldie&lt;/a&gt; me hizo saber que le había llegado un paquete que le había enviado por el último intercambio del foro SBEBB. El tema era hombre de nieve, por lo que elegí bordarle un diseño de San Man Originals ya que sus diseños de hombres de nieve me parecen muy lindos. El diseño es Happy Winter y esta bordado en 32ct Lugana 2 sobre 2, excepto el muñeco de nieve que cuando lo hice 2 sobre 2 las puntadas se veian horribles por lo que lo deshice y re-borde 1 sobre 2 y me pqrece que quedo mucho mejor, más parejo. Algunos copos de nieve tienen hilo metalico plata para darle un poco brillo al bordado. Le terminé como pinkeep, para la parte trasera una tela con desños de unos simpáticos muñecos de nieve y para el borde, cinta degrade en varios tonos de azul. Creo que quedo bastante simpatico, no estaba segura si a Goldie le gustaría lo que habia hecho con la cinta ... pero creo que si le gusto :)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SZuWxWNPfSI/AAAAAAAACGo/84Y_YMywxT8/s1600-h/pinkeepforgoldie.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303998760677768482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 389px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SZuWxWNPfSI/AAAAAAAACGo/84Y_YMywxT8/s400/pinkeepforgoldie.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Design: Happy Winter by San Man Originals&lt;br /&gt;Fabric: 32ct Summer Winds Lugana (Zweigart)&lt;br /&gt;Threads: DMC, Crescent Colours Snowball and Anchor 7397 (metallic)&lt;br /&gt;Stitch count: 54 x 57&lt;br /&gt;Started: 08.

I was starting to panic beacause I thought it might have got lost!!). I saw on her blog that she stitches a lot of designs with birds so for this exchange I chose to stitch, Love Birds, a design by Diane Williams that can be found on the book "Simply Blessed Wedding Samplers" ~LA 24026 (I think the book is out of print now, I bought mine on eBay last year). I also finished this one as a pinkeep and used for the back a lovely green fabric that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://marycecillia.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; Mary &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;sent me for my birthday last year, for the border and top I used satin ribbons in two shades of green. I was very pleased with the final result :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://eclecticmk.blogspot.com/"&gt;Margie&lt;/a&gt; fue mi pareja de intercambio por el día de San Valentin en el blog HoE y recibió el paquete que le envie justo el 14 de febrero :) (este paquete viajópor 3 semanas :S ... ya estaba entrando en pánico pues pensaba que se había perdido!!). Vi en su blog que bordaba mucho diseños que tenían aves en ellos por lo que elegí bordar un diseño de Diane Williams llamado "Love Birds"; este diseño se puede encontrar en el libro Simply Blessed Wedding Samplers de Leisure Arts . Este bordado también lo terminé como pinkeep, para la parte trasera usé una tela verde que fue regalo de &lt;a href="http://marycecillia.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mary&lt;/a&gt; por mi cumple el año pasado y para el borde cintas satinadas en dos tones de verde. Quedé bastante contenta con el resultado final :) &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SZuPCa5bTSI/AAAAAAAACGY/r9oU3vM96qA/s1600-h/lovebirds.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303990257901587746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 351px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nAMcSdZ3Z9o/SZuPCa5bTSI/AAAAAAAACGY/r9oU3vM96qA/s400/lovebirds.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Design: Love Birds by Diane Williams&lt;br /&gt;Stitch on 32ct Antique White Jobelan with DMC threads&lt;br /&gt;Stitch count: 61w x 55h&lt;br /&gt;Started: 04.
