Hi! Long time no see. The autumn has arrived and now everyone is putting on their wintertyres in case of slippery roads and snowfall. It has already snowed up in the northern parts of Sweden but here in the middle parts I guess we have to wait another month or so. The days are pretty and crisp and every morning and evening the sky is filled with canada geese going to the south; in big and small groups. I haven´t been to my allotement for ages and now it is getting too cold to be there any longer time. But at least I´ll go by the end of this month because we have a cleaning up day before winter so we can fire downcut bushes. The interesting studies in logistics and quality has kept me occupied for the most of my sparetime but finally I´ve finished a paper in logistics so a heavy stone fell of my shoulder so I was jumping with joy at breaktime today. So tonight I´ll celebrate with some bellesteristic instead: Alias Grace by Margret Atwood. I´ve always liked Margret Atwood since I read "The Handmaids Tale" several years ago and Alias Grace is as good. Atwood gives a good portrait on Grace and the persons around here. It is quite interesting that she has named the chapters after quiltpatterns. Since I am not a quilter I didn´t realized that at first but now it gives a further twist to the story. Well, done some stitching OFCOURSE and of mixed nature at that. Went to my friends house the last weekend for a nice stitch together and decided to go on with a easterchicken which I had had in my WIP or maybe UFO pile for years. It is a nice little design that is pretty easy to stitch so just the little chickens head left. I also stitched on this piece yesterday when I helped out at a birthdayparty. So while I was waiting for the party (of people) to finish the courses I had some time in between to stitch. So thats for Easter. I also picked out the springtablerunner and did some there. Unfortunately I discovererd an "old" counting error so had to start frogging so the work got to a standstill. Well, in the last blogpost I started a new wallrunner for christmas so here is what I have done. (picture in the frame in the middle). Not much but this design is also fairly easy to stitch in comparison to the Well that I am stitching for my sister. There I only have patience for a couple of hours because of the "confetti"stitching. Seriously gotta try the park and stitch technique for confettidesigns in the future. Well, bits and pieces of everything today. Have a good time til nex time!

So, since Christmas is coming fast and it is getting autumn dark I thought I choose this design. I love the little cat on top of the shelf. Just like my cats that likes to lay on top of my chinacabinet. Kinga had a nice time out and sniffled along for half an hour so now she´s in for a good nap.

Inspired by bloghoping

Been bloghoping and now my fingers itch to start something new. Got to go through the stash and see whats there. Then it is time to take my biggest cat Kinga on the leash and have a stroll so she can smell/see what the neighbourhoodcats are doing. Has to do this after dark when it is calm outside or she might be frightened. Thank you all for your nice inspiring blogs.
