Hi! Bye!

Up to eyeballs in deadlines. No stitching since Sunday.

Had someone else do work for me, i.e. framer:

Jugendstil sampler, by José Sterrenburg, pres for parents.

Were it not for new man in life, would go bonkers.
New man is gorgeous, grey-haired & blue-eyed.
Will post pics asap.

Yours hurriedly,
Annema_

Ohh... excited to hear about the new man. But sad to hear that your are too busy to stitch.

Great framing but to be honest I am most interested in your new man is he of the human variety ??? Or the feline variety ?? Hurry up and spill the beans as I am most curious and whatever grey haired blue eyed gorgeous man he is I am so pleased for you especially if he helps to stop you going bonkers ; -)))

Take care and hugs to Pelle xx

What a neat framed design! Can't wait for the details on the new man.

What a stunning sampler! Congrats! Also on the new "man", whatever the species he sounds gorgeous :-)

Von said...

A fly-by post is better than nothing at all - especially when there's the promise of some very interesting news to come! :D Don't keep us hanging too long, An!

doris said...

That was fun! Hope you continue to have some fun.

Linen Stitcher said...

Oh, sure. Distract us with the gorgeous needlework and framing so we don't notice that you left out the other details.

P.S. Was there a Thursday this week? Because it wasn't on my calendar . . .

Melissa said...

OK. Never mind about the stitching (though gorgeous!) but we all want to hear about the more gorgeous new man! Intrigue! Suspense!

Way to go!

Nancy said...

This is gorgeous! What a fantastic gift for your parents.

New man? Human? Feline? Canine? In any case it's a good thing to have!

Heidi said...

Prachtige sampler voor je ouders! Dus ik neem aan dat je kater was alles wat je had verwacht en hij zeker in juli bij jullie komt huishouden? Een vraag...heb je wel door dat een kat betekent dat HIJ niet jij de baas in huis is? LOL! Dagi is zo lief om onz in huis te laten en te zorgen voor hem. Doen we ook zeer graag hoor. :-)

Hugs en groetjes ~
Heidi

Sharon said...

Annemarie, you big tease! Can't wait to see or hear all about it. Absolutely love this piece for your parents-it's gorgeous!

Deb said...

An, big teaser.... I have a white-haired, blue-eyed man, too, and they can be a handful...but worth it :) Your crosstitch finish is gorgeous. Lucky mom and dad.
