I know.... I know....

I know I should be blogging more frequent....
I know I should put my holiday journal first....
I know many of us have got the same problems in blogging in time....
I even know of a group that stimulates you to blog every day....
I know this wouldn't work for me....


That's why I want to propose a new system, the "trying to blog once a month" or TTBOM. If you are interested, please leave your bloglink and the "word" TTBOM in a comment. I will add you to the sidebar. I'm not going to sent any reminders about when to blog, 'cause were TRYING to blog once a month LOL!

Here is what I actually wanted to share with you. I joined in a needleroll exchange on the borduurhoekje yahoo-group. Saturday I received my parcel from Simone and look what she sent me, she really spoiled me!

Ofcourse I had to make a needleroll myself and it was a bit of pain in the ***. The design I stitched was by the Sweetheart Tree and absolutely gorgeous, but the printing was meant for superwomen, cause it was sooooo tiny! On top of that I had 32 count fabric for the first time ever. Using a stamp magnifier was the only way to stitch with a minimum of mistakes, I simply couldn't stitch without it. When it was finally finished I could hardly part with it. I love the way it looks, and I'm glad that the receiver, Marion, seemed to love it as well.





The theme was "summer". I choose my design because it reminded me of a yellow rose we used to have in our old garden. The silly thing had flowers 4 or 5 times each summer, had hardly any leaves on it and it smelled nice.
