Just a few days more...
H. will be here next Wednesday night for four days, I can't wait :). Already planning how to use that time in a lovely way.
To the persons I haven't replied to - I spent a big part of the day in bed with a stomach bug (ouch!) which ruined my plans, I will do my best to reply to late emails this week-end.
In the world of cross-stitch, I finished my first Pay it Forward to a secret person (for the moment), but I can't show it before that person receives it. I *think* she will like it and I *think* she will be very surprised. Plus, the giftie is not cross-stitched but ------ed, and has been chosen so it matches her love for ---- :)
Second, I'm coming close to an idea about what to stitch for the French blogger's Easter exchange (Paquoswap) and I should start working on it this week-end. I still can't decide between two very different projects. I checked my partner's blog every days and it's not easy to know what might suit her tastes, really. I can't even see any cross-stitch on her blog, but a different craft (don't want to reveal more so she can't recognize herself - just in case, because I don't think she'll read this - the person we send to is not the person who sends to us).
Third, my French Christmas is almost, almost half way done but I was too sick today to take a good shot. Tomorrow is also a day ;-)
Fourth, the new spring exchanges in our Prairie Schooler group. We're working on them with Linda and I hope to announce them very soon. I look forward to participating myself!
And fifth, the Prairie Schooler stocking contest -one more person signed in the database, so maybe the contest will be organized, after all. I'll wait to know before I start designing the stocking myself, I have tons to stitch this spring!
Lastly, sixth, I decided to stitch a little Easter napkin for my aunt (I'll be spending Easter with them). She loves my work and I know it's in good hands each time I offer her a cross-stitched something :)
I read about yesterday's Japanese tradition, the Hariukuyo. Some sites call it the Festival of Broken Needles, others the Memorial for Used needles. What a lovely tradition! You can read more about it here . And here, you can see some pictures: http://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomosci/51,60153,3905918.html?i=1 and http://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomosci/51,60153,3905918.html?i=0
Still thinking about that... shouldn't we all feel thankful to our scissors, needles and other tools for all the work they delivered? Hah! :)
I felt for reorganizing my kitchen and deep cleaning (or spring cleaning or whatever we can call it LOL). Looks like new again! :)

Quelle superbe cuisine Anna ! ! ! !Mon rêve......... (peut-être bientôt, nous cherchons pour acheter, pour la 1ère fois, une maison !!).
J'ai lu ds un message de Linda que tu allais organiser un échange PS. Je ne vois pas de message à ce sujet ds le forum PS ??? Peux-tu m'en dire plus ??? J'aimerais y participer.
Je crois que tu as commencé le sampler de Noël du dernier Mains & merveilles!!!!!!!!! great :-)
A bientôt
Witam, ja rowniez chcialabym sie dowiedziec wiecej na ten temat...PLN dotarly, dzieki. Pozdrawiam. Kuchnia wyglada fajnie, calkiem jak w Polsce...
Hi Anna, your kitchen is really neat!!
Hope you are having a great time with H.
Hugs.
Elisabeth - merci :), je l'aimais bien, ma cuisine, il y a quelques années. Maintenant le style métal et couleur ne me tente plus autant, je rêve de quelque chose de plus rustique mais bon, il faudra attendre, elle a couté beaucoup trop cher à l'époque pour la remplacer d'ici 50 ans :) Je t'envoie un email tout de suite concernant les échanges PS. Le sampler Noel est presque prêt. Bisous!
Elu, ten échange PS odbywac sie bedzie w grupie milosniczek Prairie Schooler. Jesli takze je lubisz, to zapraszam do nas :) Z tym, ze to dosc charakterystyczne wzory i albo sie je kocha, albo srednio, srednio :)
Thanks Mylene! H. left last night and the stay wasn't as nice as I planned but still a lovely time together... next one in April this time.
