There were many events in this year, which let my time become scarce.<br /> Since yesterday I arrived at Sweden. Here everything is a little slower. <br />I hope that I again more time for visit the blog have. <br />You ordered yourself wonderful Sampler. <br />I am pleased to be able to pursue a daily your work on it. <br /><br />Now I will regard further Posts with you:-) <br />♥☼♥Barbara♥☼♥Lapplisorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487636615562609555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6505760906723216858.post-69744535789635275772009-05-02T11:30:00.000+10:002009-05-02T11:30:00.000+10:00Hi Sandra,

I look forward<br />to my time in front of the <br />computer every evening, even if <br />it turns out to be for only half<br />an hour, before heading off to bed.<br />I find it relaxing and a help to<br />unwind from the day's activities<br />and stresses.<br /><br />You've really done a lot of work<br />on Eliz. Cox in such a short time.<br />This design seems to me to be more<br />of a tapestry piece then a cross<br />stitch sampler. There doesn't<br />appear to be a lot of cross <br />stitching at all in it. <br /><br />Don't you wonder sometimes what<br />the girls who originally stitched<br />these designs over a hundred (or<br />two hundred) years ago would think<br />if they could see their samplers<br />being reproduced by people all <br />over the world. <br /><br />Wow...you've been busy on Ebay,<br />haven't you??? Makes me feel a<br />bit better about my occasional<br />bouts of madness on that sometimes<br />addictive site. I think that my<br />favorite chart is the Roxanna<br />Corson, the one with the sweet<br />(!!!) verse. <br /><br />The weather has been up and down<br />in the past few days, but that's<br />to be expected at this time of <br />year. I don't mind the rain. In<br />fact I love it when it rains and<br />I'm at home puttering at the<br />computer, in the library, or <br />stitching. But best of all is<br />lying in bed and listening to<br />the rain hit the roof of the <br />house. It's so relaxing. <br /><br />Yesterday I did my daily walk<br />in the rain. I got home from<br />work earlier then normal and<br />decided to do my walk before<br />making dinner so that I'd have<br />more time in the evening to<br />goof off. I walked for over<br />half an hour and my spring<br />jacket had to go into the dryer<br />afterwords because it was so<br />wet. I had my DH's toque on my<br />head to keep my hair and head<br />dry and warm, and mittens on my<br />hands. I'd rather walk in the<br />cool rain though then in the heat<br />of the summer.<br /><br />I'm pleased with my cross stitch<br />book purchases from the book sale<br />and was surprised to hear how much<br />the sampler book might be worth.<br />Whee Hoo!! Guess I did okay, huh?<br /><br />After my first month at Weight<br />Watchers I've lost 7.4 pounds,<br />which is pretty cool. Still a<br />long way to go to reach my goal<br />but it's a good start. <br /><br />I hope you are feeling better<br />now and over your flu. Is the<br />fuss over Swine flu as big a <br />deal in Australia as it is here?<br /><br />Next weekend my friend and I will<br />be going to see Wolverine and<br />the new Star Trek movie and we're<br />excited to be seeing both. Hurray<br />for the summer movie season!!!<br /><br />Cheers!!Crazee4bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978860714766853681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6505760906723216858.post-39771653939526875472009-04-27T21:48:00.000+10:002009-04-27T21:48:00.000+10:00I love how you write about your stitching "paintin...I love how you write about your stitching "painting the sky".

I have the Adam and Eve one and just pulled it out of the stash pile recently. Thought that it would be a quick stitch. Need those when you have large BAPs going on. And I'll have to look up your SL purchases. I'm a big fan of SL patterns. It's funny though to hear you talk about it getting cooler and fall - it's Spring here - although we're still getting little bits of snow here and there.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792171420098351093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6505760906723216858.post-50623184506989761862009-04-21T22:04:00.000+10:002009-04-21T22:04:00.000+10:00Lovely stitching!

LOL at hanging the sampler above your son's bed. My girls don't mind my stitching in their rooms but I can't convince my son to let me redo his room. I keep telling him that I want to do it in a patriotic/sailing/fishing type theme and he ignores me.
