Don´t bug me
I went to a stitching meeting last night at Guðbjörg´s house and spent a lovely 2 hours with my stitchy friends. I was determined to finish Don´t bug me by The Sweetheart Tree. I had already made it up as a pinkeep but wasn´t sure how to fasten the cord. With a help from Guðbjörg I succeeded. Thanks so much for your help Guðbjörg! I really love how it turned out!

And here it is hanging on my stitching lamp. It looks so very very pretty!
Summer stitching
Finally I´m able to blog again. My laptop crashed again but has now been fixed. I have been busy stitching though and here is an update of some of the things I finished this summer.
In middle of August I took my family on a little vacation. We stayed in a summer house in Húsafell for a week. We had the best time. We did some sight seeing, relaxed in the hot tub and we tried to take a walk but were too busy picking blueberries on the way so we didn´t get very far 🙂 LOL
I managed to get a lot of stitching done over there. First of all I finished By Golly Be Jolly. As you can see I changed the words into Icelandic.
By Golly Be Jolly by Lizzie Kate
Stitched on 32 ct linen with DMC
I also started something new. Don´t bug me when I´m stitching! This is a kit I bought in Florida in summer 2008 and have been meaning to stitch it ever since. I finally dit it and the plan is to finish it as a pinkeep and hang it on my stitching lamp. I translated the words into Icelandic just to make sure my kids understand them!

Two of my coworkers had their babies this summer. Sara got a girl and Eva got a boy. Of course I had to stitch them both a baby card.
And now for some ATC´s. I´m totally hooked on them.
July ATC – Pay it foward sent to Line in Abu Dhabi
We all had to stitch the same design
Pinkeep fyrir Lindu
Ég bjó til þennan Pinkeep fyrir Lindu í Pinkeepskiptunum í Allt í kross. Það er frekear fyndin tilviljun að við vorum dregnar saman. Þetta er fyrsti pinkeepin sem ég geri og ég held hann hafi bara heppnast vel. Efnið sem hann liggur á er efnið sem er á bakhliðinni.

Stitched 1 over 1 on 28 ct Jobelan Solo from Silkweaver
with Imitation Silk from Haviland Embroidery
Ég skilaði pinkeepnum í seinna laginu. Ástæðan er að litli voffinn okkar hann Patti er búinn að vera týndur núna í rúmar 2 vikur. Öll leit hefur engan árangur borið og maður hefur ekki getað fest sig við neitt annað en að leita eða hugsa til hans. Ég læt fylgja með mynd af Marín og Patta á góðri stund. Marín var að horfa á teiknimyndir og Patti steinsvaf í fanginu á henni á meðan. Við þráum ekkert heitar en að finna hann aftur og koma honum heim í hlýjuna og öryggið. Svo yrði hann að sjálfsögðu knúsaður endalaust.
Pinkeep frá Lindu
Ég var að fá minn pinkeep úr pinkeepskiptunum og hann var frá Lindu. Takk fyrir mig elsku Linda. Hann er algjört æði og ég er í skýjunum.
Ég er langt komin með minn. Á eftir nokkra krossa og svo að ganga frá honum. Hlakka svo mikið til að afhenda hann nýjum eiganda.
