Stash!

It was mailed from Italy in Wednesday and it was waiting in my mail box in Friday...

This is not all, but rest of it is property of the Birthday Fairy, and she won't reveal her part before her victim has received her giftie... when ever that is.

Visitor

My mother came and went, and she loved the Santa (I knew she'd). (And the Panda too.)

In addition of bringing the casseroles she promised (rutabaga (I love that word, sounds like an old witch) and carrot) she brought me some turkey, a cake and gingerbread biscuits! (Two of the latter ones are made purely out of oat, so yummy, yummy. (I tried the gingerbread cookies and they were great! (Though I'd have put more spices).))

I rather be blogging...

SAT will begin tomorrow, and I've decided to visit Ezzy and her relatives.

This is what we have now:

And for reference, how it'll look like when it grows up:

Goal: Rest of the stone base and the first floor, which would be approximately 20% of whole design.

Why is that topic what it is, what you should be doing?

Cleaning, my mother comes to visit today. (Not that she'd mind if it's not impeccably clean around here, but because I want to.)
And for once I've reason to actually cook something. (And this time my dinner guest won't probably try to eat me while I'm cooking... *grin*) You see, I don't cook for myself that often. I just prepare the food.

One of the things I miss in relationships... most things have much more meaning in them when you've someone to love, you know?

So, Dan left few hours ago. It was nice to see ("see"... he was here over three weeks ) him, but it's also great to be alone at home. In fact I should do some cleaning as... who knows, maybe I'll have someone to drop by some day. (As I may have mentioned: my life has been odd last 1½ months, and New Year's Eve was interesting.) Have to see about that though, but anyway it wouldn't hurt to do some cleaning.

I also found little something which seems to help with my PCOs related pains: rooibos. I have rooibos which is spiced with vanilla and it's absolutely delicious (if beverage can be that)(and as I ate some chicken I couldn't drank coffee as I drink my coffee with milk. Rooibos just needs some sugar with it and yummy).

When it comes to my VE item I've stitched about 1/3 of it. I'm surprised how nice it looks like as I changed colours of the flosses of original design, and those ones I use are quite 'candyish', but they look good together and IMO are just right ones for Valentines Day.

Btw, have I mentioned that this year will be great? Don't know why, but I just feel like it.
