:[ I'm starting on it again today in the daytime. Can't give you a small peek because it's a surprise, though Harmien knows I'm stitching it for her... sorry...
So, this brings me to a happy, non-emotional-venting place, where I can share with you that I found this piece above online tonight, and I want to know why none of you has brought this to my attention!!! Knowing how much a fan I am of all things Queenish and particularly of a Franco/Scots/Anglophile nature... How could you and I have missed this one!? I love it to pieces. I must find some elves to stitch it for me along with my other WIPs, only I want the sensation of kitting it up, feeling the fabrics, threads and silk ribbon and stitching some of it....okay? Thank you very much. Guilia Punti Antichi -- of course-- ;)http://www.puntiantichi.com/
For those of us who stitch Chatelaine (see her new one coming out 2/2008): isn't it interesting that it's the identical format as GPA's? This is Martina's new "Dragonfly Boudoir" Online Class. I thought that was very noteable. Is it the Judy O'Dell connection? Because we had that connection with "Leporello." Hmmmmm Which came first, the chicken or the egg? GPA's chart is $16, and I can't remember Martina's cost for hers.
I've been flying around tonight blog-hopping and catching up with some friends I haven't seen for a while. What wonderful things you all are stitching, and what great adventures and misadventures you're all having. Gosh, it's fun to read and see it all!! I know why I blog when I see you all. I'm so happy you're my friends. I'm so happy you're kind enough and so creative you share your lives with me and all of us! What a difference you've all made in my life this year, my first year of blogging.
If I haven't said so before:
Happy Holidays, and Merry Christmas to each of you. Thank you for making this year one of the most enriching and memorable I've ever had in my stitching life. I just think you are terrific. Yep, I mean YOU, if and when you're reading this.
Hugs and love, Deb
PS: I must direct you to see the Pioneer Woman Cooks blog (see my side list)...she and her friend, though not Best Friend, Hyacinth, made some fabulous cookies!!!

Both pieces are a part of the Designing Ladies series that Judy at Just a thought puts together. She develops the finishing of the piece and the ladies do the designing. There are several other pieces with the same finishing. I would be hard put to pick one :-).
I'm off the hook, having never seen this design before. However, I can certainly see why it would be tremendously appealing to you! :D
I love those Designing Ladies boxes. I'm planning on doing the one from Dames of the Needle - now that would be a fun SAL with everyone working on their different boxes. :-)
Gorgeous!!! I haven't seen GPA's design before but I have seen Chatelaine's ... and I'm hoping I was a good girl this past year and get a lovely Christmas bonus because guess what I will be ordering?!?
Sorry Deb - I have seen them all and I must do one but can't decide between the GPA one that you love and the Old Willow one. I think I've decided on the Olde Willow one - it is my favorite I think but I do so love the GPA one too and I know I can't do two of them - next year will be mostly my year for stitching for me and I am so excited by that I just can't tell you. But I do love the one you have chosen too. Lots of Love Queenie xxx
Deb,
Both of those designs are beautiful! I see the Chatelaine one is 20 Euros, which is about $28.00. Happy Holidays to you too! Hope you can get some stitching done when you go to Boston! :)
I've never seen this before, Deb, or else I would have pointed it out... it's wonderful :)
Wow, I love the top design. That's just amazing!
I love that mary queen of scots box too! She's beautiful!
Could I thank all of you for your lovely comments and also give you my best wishes for the new year?
Best wishes from Italy and thanks again,
Giulia Manfredini

Now first of all, my apologies for not visiting for ages (haven't read blogs properly for almost 2 months now hmmm). Secondly, I want to know if you have aready bought or received this GPA chart? If not, I'd dearly love to get it for you ... you've been a wonderful supportive lady since I've known you, not only to me but to so many other people online. Thirdly, I wanted to wish you the very best for the remainder of the festive season, and wish you a 2008 filled with peace, love and happiness - I look forward to keeping up-to-date more regularly again in the new year when I get a permanent home again ... I've really missed the 'normalcy' of blogging and reading about my online pals adventures {{hugs}}. For some reason while I'm housesitting my emails won't send, so I'm sending this all via blog comments instead :)
