A New Pet and A Little Finish

Wow, I have not been blogging for such a long time! Well, I can't say that I have not been stitching all this time. But what I was stitching was either presents for my friends or something for exchanges and you know I can't show these pieces before they reach their new homes. Other than that I have been working on my own designs and need just a little more time to finish them all. But I think today I can show you one of them.
I used my own design to make a little birthday present for one of my new cross stitch friends. From the pictures you can easily see that I decided to continue the "Romantic" line started by "My Rose Garden" biscornu which so many people simply call "Romantic".
Ok, here is "My Rose Garden" Box:




I have never made cards before (but did my best ) and here is what I made:

If you are interested in buying any of my designs, send me an e-mail please.

And here is our new pet... if you can call it a pet. It is already the second day in row a little herd of deer visit the back of our back yard. One buck is rather fearless, or I do not know what, he jumps over the fence and let us pet him and feed him - he loves our tomatoes so much! So now there is no time for stitching at all. We keep looking out the windows all the time, then go to meet our visitor, take pictures and movies of him. It is a lifetime experience! Can you imagine to pet a wild deer! He has so pretty eyes and his antlers are so velvet soft and warm, and his "shoes" are always shiny black... I try to add a short deer video so you can have a look at him.
















Thank you for stopping by, special thank you for those who leave comments, you know how encouraging they are.
Happy stitching to everybody!

What a beautiful gift for your friend!

I love the deer video - how rare and wonderful to be up close and personal with wildlife. We have a lot of deer around where I live, but I've never been able to actually feed or pet one!

That box for Marsha turned out perfect; so pretty! How awesome to have a friendly deer come visit! Surely he was raised by people to be so tame!

So, is a challenge and you must:
Nominate 7 friends of yours, who are: generous, spontaneous and funny (and with this you send them the challenge)
Then you must answer two questions:
Your biggest quality and your biggest defect.
Ah! I really like to have a farm to have a such nice pet like yours!!! I live in the city and a deer, just in the Zoo.

I am the VERY lucky receipient of the beautiful box that Olga stitched for me. It was truly a surprise when I opened up the box. I just had a birthday, and I got the box on the same day. To say that I will treasure this for always is an understatement. I am just so thrilled with having such a beautiful gift made for me. In a time when most people are too busy to do anything by hand, to have received both the card and the gift that were handmade is just such a thrill.
