In vain I have struggled...:-)

Blame it on The Primitive Hare, but since I had seen her gorgeus, latest Pride and Prejudice themed design, I am totally distracted from my own designs and keep watching Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy on dvd.  There had been years, when I was such a huge fan of the BBC adaptation with Colin Firth that I had watched it and read Jane Austen's wonderful book million times.   I can totally understand Bridget Jones if you ask me.

I am very blessed, because I met and talked with Colin Firth when he was in Budapest some years ago.  He and his Italian wife were both such wonderful, opened, kind and normal, I respect him even more since that day.   So instead of stitching I painted some 10-minute quick portraits of him to practice.  I love the English Derwent watercolour pencils, one of the finest, high quality pencils on Earth.

Thank for your patience, the pattern for You Are So Loved is coming tomorrow!



IN HUNGARIAN

Fogjátok a Primitive Hare-ra, de mióta megláttam a csodás, legújabb Büszkeség és balítélet témájú mintáját, teljesen elkalandoztam a saját mintáimtól és egyfolytában Elizabethet és Mr. Darcyt lesem a dvd-n.  Voltak évek, amikor annyira rajongtam a BBC-féle Colin Firth-ös feldolgozásért, hogy milliószor megnéztem és elolvastam Jane Austen nagyszerű remekművét.  Teljesen meg tudom érteni Bridget Jonest, ha engem kérdeztek. 

Abban a kivételes helyzetben vagyok, hogy találkoztam és beszéltem is Colin Firth-szel, amikor Budapesten járt pár éve.   Ő és olasz felesége is nagyon csodálatos, nyitott, kedves és normális emberek, csak még jobban tisztelem attól a naptól fogva.  

Így hát hímzés helyett inkább festettem egy-két tíz perces gyors portrét róla ujjgyakorlatnak.  Imádom az angol Derwent vízfesték ceruzákat, a világ egyik legkiválóbb, csúcsminőségű ceruzái. 

Köszönöm a türelmeteket, a You Are So Loved (Nagyon szeretlek) mintája holnap érkezik!

    Irigykedni szabad? :) Szívesen találkoznék én is Mr. Darcy-val, remek színész :) Azért is irigykedem, hogy ennyire profin rajzolsz és festesz. Le a kalappal :)

    Your Portrait is beautiful. I also fell in love The Primitive Hare's her new pattern of Pride and Prejudice. This will be one I will be getting for sure.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I love your patterns.

    Hugs,

JOYFUL WORLD SAL - JANUARY PATTERN

My dear Stitchers, I am so overwhelmed how many of you have already joined the 'Joyful World' SAL that starts today!:-) I will share every information, instruction and pattern here, on my blog, too to help those stitching sisters who do not use Facebook or would like to stitch the patterns without the group. The Joyful World SAL is a primitive monthly calendar. All the 12 patterns are absolutely FREE to download:-) This morning we kicked off with the following multiple languages.  I am coming with the Dutch version today, too.   Please, feel free to contact me if you would like to stitch it on your mother language, if I can help you:-) Many of you asked how I stitch the model calendar.   I am stitching the 3 columns/4rows set that I designed to be a  proper square (307 W x 307 H) in the end.   Please feel free to stitch the way you enjoy the most and also you can stitch them as separate monthly ornaments, too. HAPPY STITCHING!

Joyful World - DECEMBER PATTERN

Image
Dear Stitchers, We have arrived to the finish of my primitive cross stitch calendar, Joyful World. Tonight, before the clock hits midnight, I release the pattern of the last month, December. I am happy and sad at the same time.   Designing and creating this calendar became part of my life, almost like a job I love. According to my filofax notes, designing (in 20+ languages), stitching, photoshooting, photoshoping, pattern making, releasing, promoting this calendar needed 121 days in 10 months, mainly the evening hours. I have started releasing the first month this January in 2016 and hoped for some folks to come by and join the stich along of this calendar pattern I designed for my children.  I expected 30+ participants, most of them friends who are too nice to say no:-)   Today, November 10, 2016 there are 6.481 members in our Facebook group dedicated to this SAL.   You can guess that I am in shock for many months now. I am happy we have done it, because we have done it
