Thanks for the kind words! ★★★★★ “Beautiful pattern, easy to follow. Loaded perfectly into Pattern Keeper (backstitching from pdf), which was a huge bonus for me. This will make a perfect gift for my friend who has a special bond with ravens. Thank you! 🖤” Line Bolette A. https://etsy.me/3tyhx4g
Well, it is Sunday and there is +17°C and sunny outside. The weather forecast did not disappoint this time. I had to cut down my biggest tulips because of the windy weather some days ago, so take a look, how beautiful they are. I hope my shop designer will create a cross stitch pattern for them.
The last two orders in CrochetCabinetCrafts were despatched to the USA. One to Cabin John, MD and it was a Daisy garland and the second one to Greenacres, FL – Poppies garland. I use round business stickers with our StitchersandQuills logo, which I bought at SavageCreationUK. Both shipments have left Poland and are in transit now. Fingers crossed they reach their destination as soon as possible.
It’s raining, it’s only +8 ºC and it’s dark outside. The mood is like these pictures I took in St. Andrews years ago. I have to say that these are some of my favourite photos as well as one of my favourite places on Earth. I love the English weather because I can hardly stand the summer heat, but this time I get excited when the weather forecast says that already this Sunday we will have +20 ºC, so all we have to do is wait for Sunday.
I am proud of our small Etsy shop StitchersLand, we have 200 sales now. Congratulations to my shop partner and patterns designer Serafima Abramova! You are the best designer and we are the best team! It’s time to celebrate!
Some years ago I worked as a teacher at the after-school centre, where there were different classes for children from the area. The classes were very different: teaching foreign languages, drawing, sculpting, ceramics, and similar plastic classes. There was one teacher at the centre who was particularly beloved by the children for her patience, desire to see talent in each child and ability to develop that talent. She painted gorgeous pictures and I received tulips as a gift from her similar to the ones that grew and bloomed this year in my small garden. That’s how this lovely picture turned out.
Baby girl Zuzanna was born last week at my husband’s brother’s family, so as a crocheter I felt it my duty to make a blanket for her. I crochet it of 50% cotton 50% acrylic Lola yarn with a 2,5 mm (4) Clover hook using moss stitch.
You can never hav too many flowers, am I right? New counted cross stitch pattern at Stitchersland – blue Gladiolus.
It’s cold and rainy in Warsaw today, but I was lucky to take sunny photos some days ago because my small garden was in bloom. I cannot grow up a lot of flowers because of two big spruces outside (one of them is blue spruce), so the ground is too acidic though I noticed, that daffodils and tulips feel good under such circumstances. I was surprised by daffodils with two or even three flowers on one stem. I had never seen them before or maybe I just didn’t look closely enough. Anyway, they look great and smell wonderful, so I’m going to plant more of them this fall. By the way, I am also going to plant hydrangeas on my little piece of land in the fall, since I’ve read recently that these majestic flowers are very fond of acidic soil. I’m just not quite sure if they’ll get enough sun, but I think it’s worth a try. However, that will come in the fall and for now, welcome to my spring garden.
Two images so you can compare the progress.
