Rejoice

Rejoice, my dear friends, for you are now witness to an occurrence that is so rare, that you might want to sit down and take a deep breath before you read on. For this is the day that I will be posting not one but TWO bloggy epistles. I had two things to write about and one is stitch-related and the other one isn't and I didn't see how I could mix the two in a satisfactory way. So if you're interested in my shameful weirdness on a personal level, feel free to skip to the next post and if you want to read about my stitching or my stitching-to-be, stick around and you won't be disappointed.

I. Got. Some. More. Stash. Of course, after this haul I really shouldn't buy any more stash until... Well, until I die, basically. Lo. And behold, if you feel so inclined.

The Goode Huswife Colonial Garden book. OMG. OMG. And yet again, OMG.
Hootzi Humbug will have to wait until next year to be finished, because there is no way I will be able to finish him before Saturday. There's also a sweet little sampler by LHN, for Pelle, who loves lions and sheep and will be very pleased when he sees two of these beasties in one samplerette.

But the main stitchy thing I wanted to share with you is the fact that I've decided to do another SAL. Yes, I know, I can hardly keep up with the CHS Stocking SAL and the Thursday BBD SAL, but I also have a Memento Mori wall to build and what better way to do that, than with the help of a new stitchy friend? Check out Nadia's blog and prepare to drool :o) Nadia started a tombie angel by CHS called Sarah Hook, and I'm going for the Christmas look with another angel chart by CHS called Rejoice.

Work is crazy at the moment so my start is small, some might say pitiful, but here it is:

I won't have time to work on this one -- or any of the other ones -- very much for the next couple of weeks, but I hope to add another stitch or two by the time next Monday rolls around.
There's another new post for your reading pleasure below.

Yours busily,
Annemarie
