Tiny bits and pieces about me

Well... I'm here because... I'm curious and I love "communities"! image
While surfing for a subject of some interest to me, I've discovered this "community" and told myself "Let's join and see where it's gonna lead me! And here I am image!

Don't know if I'm going to stat a blog and share bits and pieces of my life, but definitely I've already shared that I have a daughter, even if by now she is almost 3-year-old.

For other pieces about me, just view this page and... be curious image

WIPs Status and Progress

"Bienvenue Quaker" by Mariska
I began this project in a quite unexpected way.I received this chart for free from Mariska as I ordred several for american and australian stitcher. So.. I decided to stitch it on a Black 28 ct Jobelan, with "Bermuda Reef" silk from Caron Waterlilies and a little of "Silver Fox" from Gloriana. The result is quite stunning I must say... And I LOVE it :-) It's also my first sampler/quaker.

HAED SAL 2009 "Citrine"
I liked the pattern I've chosen for this project and I joined as I thought it would be a great way to start my 1st HAED design. I must confess that the amount of colors needed for HAED project really scare me. I mean, this is a 90 and so different colors, and it's a small design....

"Basket of Biscornus" 2009 Project
Okay... This has been a complete disaster for me... image Not even 1 biscornu stitched for this project since the beginning image and I really can't say when I'll manage to find the time for it! Terrible! image
I decided to join this project as I love Biscornus and well... I thought it would be fun to stitch one per month and see them grow. Usually I offer them. So these ones I'll keep them for me, me, me! :D

Janlyn Kit "Cranes"
Since I changed the fabric, from an ugly, rough, 14 count black Aida to a soft 28 count black Jobelan, I'm stitching it regularly, but it doesn't grow as quickly as I'd have liked it to.

Chatelaine Designs "Alambra Garden"
I'm stitching it, but slowly :)

Papillon Créations "Sainte Sophie"
I'm halfway through the DMC cotton floss version, but decided to begin it again with HDF silks. DMC cotton floss version has found a new home :-D
