It's been a long time ...

since my last update, shame on me. Unfortunately I didn't have much to update on. Due to some health-issues (will say more on a later update), I was on bed-rest, so stitching-mojo decided to take a vacation. He refused to return later! Even though he perfectly knows I still need to finish my snow-globe SAL. Eventually I could lure hem back with the promise of stitching on my other WIP: Lanarte Cultures. I've been stitching on this one for a week now. A before pic can be seen here, and now for the current pic:




And this is where I am on my Snowglobe SAL part 6/8:




Stitching-mojo still refuses to stitch on thise one however.





My first ever award
I recieved the Liebster award from Kate at http://theflyingneedle.blogspot.com/
Thank you Kate!


Some background: Liebster is a German word, meaning favourite, dearest or beloved and the Liebster is awarded by bloggers to other, newer bloggers, who have fewer than 200 followers, to spread the word and help the new(er)bies gain wider recognition. The award comes with four conditions that each recipient must satisfy when accepting:

1. Choose five up-and-coming blogs (with fewer than 200 followers) to award the Liebster to.
2. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.
3. Post the award on your blog. List the bloggers you are giving the award to with links to their sites. Leave comments on their blogs so they know about the award.
4. Share 5 random facts about yourself that people don't know about you

Here are the bloggers I am passing the award onto: (I've tried to select 5 gorgeous blogs who didn't recieve the award yet, I hope I succeded)
