Biscornu - Atalie "Avril 2007"

Hello, how are you doing?
Thank you so much for your lovely comments for my last post.
And some friends who sent me e-mails in last few months, please forgive me not to be able to reply you yet, will find time to reply you soon.

Here are some photos to share my completed pieces Biscornu and scissor fob © Atalie.
I love Atalie's Biscornus so much, and had been wanting to make them for a long time!
This design was stitched by Atalie over dyed threads, but I didn't have them nor similar over dyed threads, so used DMC instead.

長年の憧れであった Atalie の Biscornu を作りました。
ずっと以前に違うデザインは作ったことがあったのですが、なかなか高度な見た目に手が出ずにいました。

PS Blackwork Angels - 6th Angel And...

I finally could make the 6th Angel for the wreath!

How gorgeous she is, it's like a Japanese singer's costume, lol

Anyway, it was quite hard to stitch with gold thread on this design, so when I finished this I breathed a sigh of relief...

Prairie Shcooler "Blackwork Angels" の6番目の天使が完成しました！

この方だけド派手に金の服を身に纏っていて、まるで美川憲一（さん）の衣装の様・・・

最後にこの金糸の多いデザインを残してしまって、かなり頭を抱えました。

終わった時には、久々に味わう達成感と安堵が。

I'm thinking to stitch only 6 Angels to make a wreath, and finished all of them as ornaments like below.

It was quite tough to make 6 pieces into ornaments, but after I finished them I felt so happy!

デザインの中には横長の物が二つあるのですが、私は縦長の6つだけにしようと思っています。

リースに・・・と考えていたので、取り敢えず全てをオーナメント状（紐なし）に仕上げました。

Baby Cocoa and Ham 1217

Baby Cocoa is getting be very naughty these few days!!
I don't know why, but she straighten her legs and stretch herself out on the carpet every time when she gets out from the circle.

It's so lovely, but she whines then nestles close to me, so I think she misses her mummy...

ベビー・ココアはここ数日で段々とヤンチャになってきました。

何故か分からないけれど、サークルから出ると同時に足までビヨ～ンと伸ばして寝転んでしまうココア。

でも、その時必ず私に擦り寄ってきて、キュンキュンと小さく鼻を鳴らしているので、きっと早くにお母さんから離れて寂しいんだろうなぁ、と思います。

She is only three months and a week old, so no doubt she misses her mummy...

When I told about this to my son Tass, he showed a bit sad face and he said "I can be Cocoa's daddy!".

Since then he is quite strict to her, lol.

Welcome To Our Home!

Yesterday, after my son's school, we welcomed our new family.
Here she is!
My name is Cocoa, baby Chihuahua (Chocolate & Cream),  I was born on 10th of September, 2012.

昨日、息子の下校後、待ちに待った仔犬を引取りに行ってきました。
名前は、「Cocoa」、ロングコート・チワワの赤ちゃん（チョコレート＆クリーム）です。

We've met on 28th of the last month, and we had been waiting for her for a week to let her take 2nd vaccination.
How long this one week was!! It was tiring to wait for her to come here.

Nikolaus 1130 Progress

Hi, thank you so much for your comments and e-mails for my last post.

I appreciate for your thoughtfulness!  Friends who didn't include e-mail address, I replied comment to you back on the last post.

Since I've been diagnosed, I can have medicine for saliva, tears and muscular pain, I have been quite well than before!

I hope I can stay healthy for my son!  

前回の記事にコメントやメールを頂き、ありがとうございます。

診断を受けてからというもの、対症療法ですが薬を頂き、長年の不快感がかなり軽減されてきました！

この病気と診断されたのは多少なりともショックではありますが、原因が分かったので頑張れそうな気がします！



These few days I didn't stitch at all, wasn't in stitching mood, somehow...

But I re-started Nikolaus today and it forwarded well!

Finally Nikolaus shows his face.



ここ数日、全然ステッチモードになれず、ボーッと過ごしていました。

ステッチだけじゃなく、何もする気になれなくて・・・　どうしてだろう。

でも、今日思い直して Nikolaus を再開しました。

今日の数時間でかなり進めて、やっとサンタの顔が出現。

First Ornament FOR 2012 Tree

Hi, I have just finished the first ornament for 2012 Christmas tree last night!
When I first saw this ornament on this last year's Just Cross Stitch Special Christmas Issue,  I couldn't resist to buy the magazine, and the other day I found and bought tiny buttons, I decided to stitch this design!

こんにちは。昨夜、今年初めてのオーナメントが完成しました。
ここ何年かはクリスマスオーナメントを作っていなかった気がしますが、今年は時間があれば何個か作ってみたいなぁ、と思っています。

I was sure this would be more lovelier if I stitched this with over dyed threads, but once I stitched, I couldn't bear to see my messy stitch, so changed over dyed threads to DMC and stitched piece is here. 

WIP Since 1st Of October - "Boo! Club 2009" Lizzie*Kate [Photos Edited]

Since 1st of this month, I have been working on THIS!

I always wanted to stitch this series since these charts were released in 2009, but I never thought that I can complete whole designs, so till now I had been keeping them in my closet.

But this year I decided to stitch some things for Halloween, and tried to start this.

10月に入ってすぐ、ハロウィンに向けて Lizzie*Kate 2009 Boo! Club シリーズを刺し始めました！
ハロウィンのデザインや色は大好きなのに、いつも気づいたら何も刺せずに終わっている気がして、今年こそは！と決めていました。
でも、こういう続き物や色変えの多い物は苦手なので、完成出来るか不安でしたが、初めてみると、何よりデザインが可愛くて、どんどん進みました！

I was thinking that I don't like to change colours (threads) often, but this project is so fun to stitch along!
I aimed to complete one block a day, and it went well as I planned.
See, I have to stitch border all around this design, but most of them are completed! Yeah!

Ewe & Eye & Friends "Tulip Scissors Companion" - Pinkeep

Hi, it's the end of September, but I just heard chirrup of cicada...
Beetle was living till a day before yesterday, Isn't it strange? It's still hot here today.

Today I show you my latest work that I sent to my friends!
It's been so long time since the last time I made pinkeep, so I realised that I was forgetting how to make pinkeep when I was working on it...

もう9月も下旬なのに、まだツクツク法師の鳴き声が聞こえています。
息子の飼っていたカブトムシも先日まで生きてくれていたし、かと思えば、夜になると秋の虫の声が響き渡り、この間は立て続けに マツムシやコオロギが室内に・・・
虫は苦手なので、外へ逃がすのに悪戦苦闘でした ＞＿＜；；

Here they are, my latest pinkeep(s), "Tulip Scissors Companion" © Ewe & Eye & Friends.
I have received same pinkeep from dear Angela before, and she stitched this design on pink linen, and it was so lovely, so I decided to stitch this on pink fabric, too!

1st Anniversary - We love you!

Hi, thanks for your visit and thank you for your comments!
A year ago today, 1st of July is the day our hamster "Ham-Chan" came to our home!
He is so nice and calm hamster and always sleepy, lol

Here are "Ham-Chan"'s photos to share!


As you already know that hamster is nocturnal animal, so when I see, he is always sleeping like this.
Sometimes he sleeps on the spin wheel (I don't know how to say in English), and sometimes he is nod in a doze!

我が家のハムスター、パールホワイトのハムちゃんです。
ちょうど1年前の今日、我が家へ来てくれました。まだその時は生後2週間程で、今よりもっと小さかったのを覚えています。

Our New Family

Hi, today I share some photos of our new family!!
Here they are!
Our new family ; Hamster calls "Ham chan" (male).
We have been having him since 1st of July.


He is so cute, but he is a nocturnal animal so most of daytime he is sleeping in the mushroom jar that is showed behind him on a photo above.
And then just after we turn off the light, he starts to move around!
