What with one thing and another, I'm hoping it picks up VERY soon!<br />I had to have a look at Chatelaine's 'Evening in the Park' on their website and I can see why you've fallen in love with it. If I were to stitch it, I'd have to see it as a very long term project. The repetitive patterns would drive me mad!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465814935013604949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12317509.post-67101357419090795712011-01-18T09:47:32.865-08:002011-01-18T09:47:32.865-08:00I've stitched EitP and loved it!

It is a long, dreary month and if my birthday weren't stuck in the middle, it would be even tougher. But, I see wonderful progress on your WIPs and I'll bet you'll end up loving Snow Garden when it is all finished up!<br /><br />Hang in there and I hope you get that ornament started--I'm working on mine.

I can sense that overwhelmed feeling just reading the blog - you feel behind and yet you need to do stuff like yoga! <br /><br />One thing I learned to do recently is to start the habit of just doing one small thing. So my one small thing was a new set of stretches that can do within 5 min and it's for my upper back and neck. Then I repeat in the evenings and because they feel so good I do them anytime I feel like it. Just taking this small step, but consistently, has been gratifying and helpful. <br /><br />I see lovely stitching, you know, even if you are feeling somewhat frustrated!

I'm sorry you're so tired when you get home, that isn't fun at all.<br /><br />I loved stitching Snow Garden, but I did choose a very different fabric from the recommended one and I didn't have too much of a problem with the thread colours. I have seen that other people have had frustrations with this one though, as Margaret said (just read her comment LOL) - I hope you can find some threads that work for you.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed The King's Speech, it's definitely one I want to see :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12317509.post-83194302328253727312011-01-17T10:31:29.406-08:002011-01-17T10:31:29.406-08:00Well now...

Not blogged myself for ages. Now, the Snow Garden. Very interesting. Did I mention I was gifted this with all the threads and all the threads look the same?? Nothing like the picture. Yes it is a bit worrying so I am watchign everyone who is doing it and everyone seems to have complaints about it. Mary Wigham. You are well and truely beating me. Still not finished page 1 yet but my aim is also to do a page a month. Chateleines. I feel the same way. I haven't even bought one of her charts let alone kitted them up. I just keep drooling but I know I would struggle to get one of those finished. They are sooo detailed. Anyways, that is enough rambling from me. xxHazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391187914615955281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12317509.post-84213055019751208802011-01-17T10:11:22.762-08:002011-01-17T10:11:22.762-08:00I can sympathize.

As for snow being fun, well, you would feel differently if another snowstorm was heading your way, this time with ice involved, the 4th one in as many weeks. It's going to be the 3rd snow day for school -- at this rate they'll be making up snow days for the whole summer. lol! I'm sick of snow and scared of ice! Ugh! Anyway, hope you get back to exercising -- I've been trying to as well -- and start feeling less tired in the evenings.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646028248366805686noreply@blogger.com
