2011 Stitching progress

Tuesday, March 15, 2011

Long time, no post

This was a long weekend, and still it did not end :-). We have one more free day, but I will show you the progress I made on Jane so far. I am very contented with what I managed on this one, considering the amount of programmes we had (girls night in, girls night out, family vacation).


I will not remove this from my Qsnap until it is finished - and this was an UFO last week!

And one more pic:
I managed to finish Square 8 on VHORH (back in February, actually :-))

Hi everyone!




I managed to put some stitching into my Village of Hawk Run Hollow, looky:


I want to finish this block (there is not much left) before I move on to a new start: still hesitating between the 2011 Maryse SAL, or a Hungarian Sampler SAL. Will see what will call to me more!

Stitching again

Yesterday I found some time to work on VOHRH, and made some progress on it. I really enjoy working on it right now, so I will stick to it for some time before picking up something else.

Back again

My stitching mojo is coming back gradually. I already stitched in January my last RR piece, and a little into some of my WIPs:
- HAED Storykeeper
- Nora Corbett Letter A
- CHS Village of Hawk Run Hollow

And I also started Paris from Lanarte.

I also did some knitting, and if my mojo lasts, I plan to sign up to some exchanges.

Still have to take some pics to show you, but at least, I started something!
(and as I saw in the visitor list, I have some visitors in spite of the non-existent activity - so some comments would be welcome to encourage me!)

Hugs to all readers,

Tagged - bilingual post again

Két jelölést is kaptam ősszel - télen, kicsit lemaradtam velük. Most válaszolok.

Az első, hogy hat tetszőleges dolgot írjak magamról. Anno sokat gondolkoztam rajta, hogy mit írjak, de azóta elfelejtettem, szóval itt van az a hat, ami elsőre eszembe jut:
- Az olvasás szerves része az életemnek. Nem megyek ki az ajtón úgy, hogy nincs nálam könyv, és a várakozás két percét is kihasználom.
- Rosszul tűröm a kötöttségeket és a kötelező dolgokat.
- Imádok új dolgokat kipróbálni (ez a hímzéseimen is látszik), és keresem a kihívásokat.
- Optimista típus vagyok, minden helyzetnek hamar meglátom a jó oldalát, és arra koncentrálok.
- Az életemnek több része van, és elég különbözőek is egymástól, és ez nekem így jó is.
- Legnagyobb álmom, hogy Kubába eljussak (és ha semmi nem jön közbe, áprilisban más álmot kell keresnem!)

I was tagged two times (and I am late with both).

The first is to tell 6 random things about myself.
- Reading is a natural part of my life. I never leave the house without a book. Even two minutes waiting will find me reading.
- I hate ties and obligatory things
- I love to try new things (the long wip list clearly shows that), and always seeking challanges.
- I am an optimistic girl, seeing the good side of any situation, and concentrating on it.
- My life consists of several very different parts, which is good for me.
- My biggest dream is to get to Cuba (and if everything goes well, I will have to find another dream in April!).

A másik feladat az volt, hogy soroljam fel a rám legnagyobb hatást tevő 5 könyvet 2008ból.
Íme a listám:
- D. H . Lawrence: Lady Chatterley szeretője
Bevallom őszintén, ebbe azért néztem bele, mert kíváncsi voltam, hogy mitől botránykönyv. Aztán nem tudtam letenni, nagyon szép könyv, nagyon nagy hatással volt rám, rengeteg mindenről szól.
- Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice
Az egyik kedvenc íróm, minden könyvét szeretem, és arra különösen büszke vagyok, hogy ezt angolul is elolvastam
- Marian Keyes: Utolsó esély szalon
Új kedvencem, tavaly minden nálunk kapható könyvét elolvastam, imádom a humorát, meg hogy pont kellőképpen romantikusak, de nem csöpögősek a könyvei. Ez erre különösképpen igaz.
- Robert Merle: A gyermekkirály
Tőle azért ez, mert ezt olvastam tutira tavaly, de a teljes Francia História sorozatot imádom, meg az összes többi könyvét is, tőle még nem olvastam rosszat.
- Fejős Éva: Bangkok tranzit
Nagyon tetszett, rengeteg gondolat volt benne. Hosszú idő után ez volt az első könyv, aminek befejezésekor még 1-2 napig nem tudtam újba belekezdeni, annyira ez járt a fejemben. (A legemlékezetesebb ilyen könyv számomra egyébként az Állati elmék volt Merle-től).

The other meme was about my 5 favourite books in 2008. Here is the list:
- D.H.Lawrence: Lady Chatterley's lover
I started this to see why it was so infamous, but could not put it down. It is a very deep and beautiful book.
- Jane Austen: Pride and Prejudice
Austen is one of my favourites, and this book of hers is above all. And I am particularly proud of having read it in English original.
- Marian Keyes: Last chance saloon
One of my favourite authors, I just love her romantic style and humour. I have read all books available here in Hungary.
- Robert Merle: Roi enfant
I just love the whole series, and all his books overall.
- Fejos Eva: Bangkok tranzit
This is a Hungarian book, Hungarian author, but a very deep book. I just couldn't put it down.

I will try to get back to more regular posting especially as I have some progress to share.
