Presenting...

Alla Turca 6 of 9 pages completed as of 14th Febuary. I had a long weekend, but was not considering it a great stitchy weekend as my Brother was to visit me for two days. I am really really happy and contented to have reached this stage by mid-month - i have done pages 3, 4 and 5 in these two weeks. This and your precious comments give me the boost. Now, it all depends on how much time i will really get to stitch for the rest of the month!! And yes, isnt that a wonderful blue?!! If you closely observe the [blank] diamonds, in the piccie - i have left most of them blank. I will take a call at the end about which blank ones to fill.

I am like a li'l school girl waiting to see what the day has ushered in for her in the form of comments. So this is a thank you note to all you wonderful bloggers who stop by, and leave a comment.

Why this pic??!! Well it does depict how much love my Brother brought for me. Though he was here only for two days, we had a great time just being together. Toto also had fun time, and within minutes was playing with his Uncle! We chatted and chatted for God knows how long:) And when he took his afternoon nap (day 1), i even stitched some sitting by his bed-side. Among the goodies he got for us - the kiddie variety have become precious playtime material by my precious - there were some stitchy stuff too, LOL. The Retro Kitchen Aprons cross stitch kit which my Brother got for me ( you will remember the eBay item that was on sale as US only that i without as much as blinking an eye [hopefully is the last such behaviour from me] begged him to buy for me), and the Hummel charts (my first purchase from Etsy, so i now can stitch the Hummel Postman for my shweetypie) that i gave my parents' address for. I have now confirmed to myself that some one is playing pranks and parcels rarely reach my doorstep anymore, which is why my parents' address is my current shipping address.

And right this moment, i got a call from my mother. The letter T popcorn alphabet stitch kit has arrived. Hurrah, just a small jig from where i am sitting, LOL. You see, I had lost one of the ebay parcels somewere between being shipped in the UK and reaching Bangalore, India. More likely some problem at my end. So i had put this up as a wish list on 123 MB. One of the members (thanks dear Nicki!!) granted my wish early this month, and it is now waiting to be in my possesson, and is with my Mother at the moment. Oh yes, the stitchy community is a very generous community!!

It has not been an as-dreaded bad week for me. I had been very unhappy being unable to meet my brother's family. Then God did bring ways to make me happy, eh?!!
