Goal review, and some pics

Hi girls,

sorry for not posting lately, my FIL passed in October, and things have been a bit more difficult here since.

October goals review:
1. Stitch April Cat by Margaret Sherry for RR - No (the girl left the RR and asked hers back)
2. Stitch a flower fairy for Freestyle RR - Not even started
3. Stitch Adél's Astrocat RR - Yes (though final stitches were put in in November)
4. Stitch one or two of the Herbs and Spices RR - One stitched

6. Stitch and send Fair and Square Autumn round - Yes

Sagittarius Astrocat by Margaret Sherry for Adél

Jane Austen adn February Cat

I did not show you yet my progress on last week's challenge and SAT for the Let's Stitch group.

My weekly challenge project was At Home with Jane Austen from the Sampler Girl. I did not manage to work much on it, due to work and RR commitments, but I left the half way mark on that one, so I am satisfied.


And for the Friday nigh SAT, I chose to finish up the February Cat from the Calendar Cats RR. Here is a pic of him, and some details.

An RR and a challenge

Last week there was a challenge on the Let's Stitch blog, to dig out our oldest wip, and work on it. Though it is not certainly the oldest wip I have, it is one of them, and I still love it, so I jumped at the idea of pulling it out and putting some stitches in it. Not very much though, as I was also working on some exchanges and RRs. Anyway, I sticked to it for Friday's Stitch-A-Thon as well, and this is what I accomplished:



And last week I also managed to finish up another one of the Herbs and Spices RR: Lemon Verbena for Cinella. Here it is:




Now off to do some stitching, this week's challenge is to work on a sampler design, so I am putting some stitches into At home with Jane Austen by the Sampler Girl (besides those RRs and exchanges, of course).

The standing before the challenge:

Some pictures again

I haven't posted for a while now. I have done some stitching, and finally I have some piccies to show you.

So (in no particular order):
I finished June Cat from Margaret Sherry's Calendar Cats for maczyka's RR.



I managed to finish two pictures from the Herbs and Spices RR, Comfrey for Szandrah, and Ginger for Melinda.



I was the lucky winner on Edige's blogaversery drawing, and I received this lovely purse:

I have sent and received the needleroll on the Hooked on Exchanging group, look what lovely needleroll I have received!

And the one I stitched for Leigh:

Mini Topiary sampler III Needleroll Designer: Jeannette Douglas Designs Fabric: 28 ct vintage cream linen Threads: various silks from my stash

I also managed to finished the Margaret Sherry cat for the charity, but no pictures yet, they have to be uploaded from my camera.



P.S.: I decided to write this blog only in English from now on. The events of my life will be written in Hungarian on multiply (but there in Hungarian only). I hope my Hungarian friends who follow this blog can cope with this. If not, let me know :-) and I will find a solution.

És még egyszer utoljára magyarul: fárasztó magyarul és angolul is írni a blogot. Ezért úgy döntöttem, ezt a blogot ezentúl angolul vezetem (végül is itt nagyjából kizárólag a kész hímzéseimet mutogatom), ha valami olyan történik velem, amit nagyon meg szeretnék osztani veletek, magyarul, azt a multin fogom megtenni. Ott ityamom néven vagyok megtalálható, ha esetleg valakinek hiányoznék magyarul ;-). Remélem, az engem olvasó magyar barátaimnak megfelel ez így. Ha nem, szóljatok, kitalálok valamit :-)

Fájdalmas szépség

Célok - Goal setting

Úgy határoztam, újra megpróbálom a havi célfelállítást, hátha segít összeszedettnek lenni :-)
I decided I will get back to monthly goals, to help me get organized :-)

1. Befejezni 2 MS Calendar Catet / Finish at least to of MS Calendar Cats
2. Hímezni egy tündérkét Cicának a Freestyle RRben / Stitch a Flower Fairy for the freestyle RR
3. Befejezni Adél Astrocat RRjét / Finish Adel's Astrocat RR
4. Megcsinálni egyet a JJ Herbs and Spicesból / Stitch one of the Herbs and Spices from JJ
5. Kiküldeni a Prairie Schooler ajcsit / Stitch and send HoE PS exchange
6. Csereajándékot készíteni Suzanne-nek / Stitch and send return exchange to Suzanne on Crazy Exchange group
7. MS Potpurri a Szeretetvarázsba / Stitch a design for the charity organization

Asszem ennyi bőven elég.
That's all, if I want to stay realistic.
