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.

Movie meme

Több helyen is láttam ezt a játékot, és tetszik :)
I've seen this "game" several blogs and I really like it!

A lényeg / the rules:
1. Gyűjts össze 15, számodra kedves filmet. / Pick 15 of your favourite movies or tv series.
2. Keress mindegyikhez egy idézetet az IMDB oldalon. / Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie.
3. Tedd közzé az idézeteket, hogy mások találgassanak. / Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Ne használd a Google-t, csak az IMDB-t! / No googling! Just use IMDB!
5. Ha valaki helyesen tippel, írd a film címét és a tippelő nevét az idézet mellé. / Strike it out when someone guesses coorrectly and put who guessed it and the title of the movie.

Szerintem lesz benne könnyű is!
Maybe there are some easy quote!

1. For a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. Pride and Prejudice / Büszkeség és Balítélet - Éva
   
2. We are the best kept secret in the galaxy. We monitor, licence and police all alien activity on the Earth. We're your first, last, and only line of defense. We live in secret, we exsist in shadow. Men in Black - Éva
   
3. Okay, okay, no disrespect. What should I call her? "Monogamously challenged"?
4. I don't know what it is but there's something that goes on between women. You men know that because it's the same for you. I'm not saying one sex is better then the other. I'm just saying, like speaks to like. Love or whatever doesn't always keep. So you found out what does, if you're lucky.
5. Sure hope the old man got that tractor beam out of commission, or this is gonna be a real short trip. Okay, hit it!
6. Standard operating procedure. Boys with toys.
7. This is an elegant crime, done by an elegant person. It's not about the money.
8. I am not... I am not angry with you. Do you understand? Good. Of course we wish you to be a good king. But first you must pass as Louis, and Louis is cold and cruel. The eyes of this King say that he cares for nothing at all but himself. You eyes ask too much. You shouldn't care about... about me... you shouldn't care... Vasálarcos / The man in the Iron Mask - Éva
   
9. There are many things my father taught me here in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
10. Thank you, Daniel, that is very good to know. But if staying here means working within 10 yards of you, frankly, I'd rather have a job wiping Saddam Hussein's arse. Bridget Jones' Diary - Éva
    
11. My name's Samantha and I'm a loveaholic. Sex and the City - Éva
    
12. Ah, a rash, call a dermatologist. If it's wet, keep it dry. If it's dry, keep it wet. If it's not supposed to be there, cut it off. I never could remember all that.
13. Let us have pirates, clowns, and a happy ending, or we shall send you back to Stratford to your wife!
14. But wouldn't it be great if number one this Christmas wasn't some smug teenager but an old ex-heroin addict searching for a comeback at any price? All those young popsters come Christmas Day, they'll be stretched out naked with a cute bird balancing on their balls and I'll be stuck in some dingy flat with me manager, Joe, ugliest man in the world, fucking miserable because our fucking gamble didn't pay off. So if you believe in Father Christmas, children, like your Uncle Billy does, buy my festering turd of a record. And particularly enjoy the incredible crassness of the moment when we try to squeeze an extra syllable into the fourth line. Love Actually - Éva
    
15. O Captain, my Captain. Who knows where that comes from? Anybody? Not a clue? It's from a poem by Walt Whitman about Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Now in this class you can either call me Mr. Keating, or if you're slightly more daring, O Captain my Captain. Dead Poets' Society - Éva
