I've been tagged

I've been tagged by Deb in CT and Cheryl, and these are the rules:

1) Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves

2) People who are tagged write a blog post about their own 8 random things and post these rules

3) At the end of your blog you need to tag 8 people and post their names

4) Don't forget to leave them a comment and tell them they are tagged, and to read your blog.

OK lets see...these are my 8 random things:

1. The longest time Carol (my twin sister) and I have been apart has been 6 months, when she went to Spain to take some design courses.

2. I'm obsessed with chocolate .

3. I have a degree in Dentistry but never actually worked as a dentist.

4. People always think I'm a lot younger than I really am, they think I'm 22-23 and I'm actually almost 30 .

5. I own along with my siblings and embroidery and print screen workshop.

6. People think I'm snobby but the reality is I'm shy.

7. I've lived in Houston, TX when I was little and went back there in 2002 almost 15 years later.

8. I only stitch at night, even on weekends.

Almost everybody has been tagged already, so I won't tag anyone; but if you want to respond this feel free to do so and let me know so I can visit you blog and read it.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!

FELIZ DIA DE LA MADRE!!!

SBQ - Exchanges

How do you choose a project for an exchange? Do you pick solely on what you know of the taste of the recipient or are there other reasons you pick the piece you do?

I've never participated in one before...but I'm hoping to change that soon.

New start

I still don't feel like stitching on my current WIPs, so yesterday I started a new project. I browsed through some of my magazines and found this cute little bear, once stitched I'm going to finish it as a small pillow. This is my progress after two evenings.

Ayer empezé un nuevo proyecto, tenia intenciones de continuar los proyectos que ya tengo empezados pero la verdad no tenía ganas de trabajar en ninguno de los dos, así que me puse a hojear algunas de mis revistas y encontré este lindo osito. Planeo terminarlo como un pequeño cojín. Este es mi progreso luego de dos noches de trabajar en él.

Scissor fob #2

Today I finished Carol's scissor fob. I used the same design, but instead of a striped sheep I stitched a checked one. I couldn't find her scissor so I used mine for the photo.

Hoy terminé mi segundo "scissor fob", este es para mi hermana. Usé el mismo diseño que el anterior pero en vez de una ovejita a rayas hice una oveja a cuadros. No pude encontrar sus tijeras así que usé las mías para la foto.

Design: ABC Sheep by Shepherd's Bush (freebie)
Fabric: 28ct White Lugana
Started/Finished: 01. May. 2007

SBQ - WIPs and UFOs

How many WIPs do you have? How many UFOs do you have? When does a WIP become a UFO?

I don't have a lot of WIPs, just 2: The Guardians and Sarah Kay (design from Cross Stitcher mag.), I've put only a few stitches on both designs but hopefully soon I'll change that . And UFOs I just have 1: Richard by MVS and the reason it's a UFO is just that I got bored of it.

Scissor fob

Design: ABC Sheep by Shepherd's Bush (freebie)

Fabric: 28ct White Lugana

Started/Finished: 29. April. 2007

Today I made my first scissor fob...oh and my first tassel...they're not perfect but I still think they look great. I finished stitching it on Sunday but did the finishing today. The sheep and little flower are from a Shepherd's Bush freebie called "ABC Sheep"; I added herringbone stitches for the border. Carol thought it was cute and asked me to do one for her, but instead of the little flower she wanted her initial for the back. I'll start stitching it today and make the scissor fob on the weekend.

Hoy hice mi primer "scissor fob" y también mi primera borla, no son perfectos pero me gusta como han quedado. El diseño de la oveja y la flor lo saque de un gráfico gratis de Shepherd's Bush, ABC Sheep. Para el borde he usado el punto de escapulario. A Carol le gusto mucho como quedo, así que me pidió que le hiciera uno para ella; pero en vez de la flor quier su inicial para la parte trasera. Lo comenzaré a bordar hoy y probablemente durante el fin de semana haga el acabado.
