30...

I am 30 now. Wow, that sounds strange. But I am happy.. I had a wonderful birthday, surrounded by warmth of friends,boyfriend and family. Dear BF organized a surprise dinner, he did not tell me where it was, and oh how I was curious! It was a wonderful restaurant, very romantic, he was lovely! Thank you my love, I love you more tha ever!!!!
But celebrations are not ended, in fact tonight we are off to a dinner and disco with friends. It will be a tri-celebration because two dear friend of mine got the graduation from PhD students to PhD on thursday, same day of my birthday. So tonight we will celebrate not only my birhday, but also their graduation!

But...on my birthday I decided to start stitching...Shores of Hawk Run Hollow. Yes, now I have three Hawk Run Hollow to stitch together, one block each.... am I crazy? I think so! At the end of 2010 I will move to Hawk Run Hollow, indeed!

While I was stitching SoHRH first block, the bell rang and it was the postman...

Two envelopes...



..the first one came from here....



...and inside there was.....



aren't those charts lovely?? But there was also...



an olde chart from 1998 with the "semi naked people" (as Siobhan calls them, LOL!)

But it was not over...the other envelope was from Nicoletta, http://niky-nikyscreations.blogspot.com/



her chart are beautiful, and isn't the packaging lovely?
Not to mention those beautiful thread keepers.. with coffee hand dyed floss which I can't wait to use!



This is my first block of Shores of Hawk Run Hollow as it was last thursday...now I stitched a little more but I'm not done yet...



And, last but not least, my last creations of hand dyed threads...waiting for Autumn!



Enjoy your weekend! :)
