Rose by Rachel Anderson

Here's the latest progress picture of "Rose".

Finished pages 13 and 14 last night. Which means I now have 1/3 of her finished and it also means I've reached my yearly goal *yeah*

I'm amazed at how real the water droplets look. <3

 

Now I will take a little break from her to start "So many books so little time". Think I deserve a new start after finishing 14 pages in less than a year *lol*

Rose by Rachel Anderson

Yay, my stitchy mojo is back, finally. :D

Spend the last few days stitching and here's a pic of how far I've got:

Working on pages 13, 14, 15, 19 & 20 at the moment to prevent page lines.

I hope to finish pages 13 & 14 over the next 1 or 2 weeks as that would complete my yearly goal on the HAED BB.

Sorry, not much to say this time. Only wanted to show my progress and now I'll go back to "Rose" as she's screaming for me again. :D

Lots of floss :D

Look what arrived today.*jumps around*

148 skeins of floss in 90 different colours. *faints*

I just bobbinated half of the colours, now I have to wait for the fabric and the rest of the bobbins. Guess it will take 1 - 2 weeks for that to arrive.

I know, I should work a bit more on "Rose" before starting something new, but I can't wait to start "So many book...". *blush* I intend to do one row on "Rose" then one page on "So many books..." then another row on "Rose" etc. Hope I can stick to that plan. *lol*

As my stitching mojo is back in full force for about 3 days now, I hope to have a WIP update soon too.

Dream over... welcome to reality

It's been over a week since Westlife's last ever concert at Croke Park in Dublin and still I can't put into words how I feel.

Most of the time I feel fine, I think it just hasn't sunken in completely that it's over. That there won't be anything new from Westlife anymore. But yes, I feel quite fine most of the time... only sometimes I feel like crying cause I already miss Mark so much. *blush*

I've never cried during a concert before... I've always saved that for being alone at home... but on the 23rd I didn't even get through "What about now" without crying... when Mark started singing I just couldn't help it, his voice always gives me goosebumps and touches my heart and even more so at this date... and I never stopped crying for the rest of the concert.

But it was amazing to be able to say goodbye properly, to be part of this huge crowd that was only there to see these four special boys for one last time. 85000 people - WOW. It was a wonderful evening, even though it broke my heart to see my fave Irish guys crying.

The atmosphere in Croke Park was absolutely mind blowing... and if it feld like that for me, how must it have been for Mark, Shane, Nico and Kian? Thanks so much guys for everything.

And Marks family made these last two concerts even more special to me. Thanks for being so lovely and for giving me the chance to let Mark know how much he means to me. <3

Here you can see the few pictures I took and read a more detailed review of our meeting with Marks family: Review Dublin 2012

Us German girls with Barry Feehily (Marks Brother).

And for those only visiting my blog to see my cross stitch progress... today I've finally picked up "Rose" again... I only put in about 20 stitches but hey, it's better than nothing, isn't it? And it were the first stitches after about 6 or 7 weeks. So I hope my stitching mojo is coming back.

And I treated myself to "So many books so little time" by Randal Spangler yesterday... I thought, as I've turned 30, I might be allowed a "little" new start soon. Can't promise a date as I need new fabric and most of the floss but I think it won't take too long. 8)

That's it for today. Finger's crossed for a new update on "Rose" soon.
