The Snowflower Diaries

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! ...

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, becau...

My dear Readers,  How are you doing?  I have been away from my designing for some weeks: I am refurnishing my house, especially the crafting space.  I love how it becomes more beautiful and more like I had imagined it in my dreams.   This big cupboard I bought for The Snowflower Diaries office. It was a brown old German cupboard that I painted.  It is still not ready - some aging and antiqueing is ahead, but I already enjoy it!  IN HUNGARIAN: Kedves Olvasóim! Hogy vagytok?  Néhány hétre háttérbe szorult a tervezési munkám: átalakítom a házunkat, különös tekintettel az alkotói, kreatív részekre.  Nagyon élvezem, hogy egyre szépül és egyre inkább megvalósul mindaz, amelyet elképzeltem, megálmodtam.   Ezt a böhöm nagy szekrényt a Snowflower Diaries irodájának vásároltam.  Egy barna ónémet szekrény volt, amelyet átfestettem. Még nincs kész - még kicsit öregítem, antikolom, de már most nagyon meg vagyok elégedve!...
