Finally some stitching pics! :)

As I have been working on some exchanges, Christmas presents and so on there hasn't been much I could have blogged about. I just heard that the Stitching Blogger Birthday Club present that I sent to Sonda has finally arrived so finally my blog has some stitching pics to show! :)
I stitched Bent Creek's "Christmas Row" and finished it as a padded wall hanger.


Sonda likes Christmas so I thought that even if she has her birthday during the autumn time I'll give her something Christmassy. I am glad she liked it. :) I stitched it on unknown piece of linen, maybe about 30ct and used some red linen for the finishing. The package also included some thread holders, fabrics for finishing, a piece of linen, Finnish chocolate, a kitty ornament, Bent Creek chart and pink&blue scissors (since she likes both colours and when I saw them I knew they belong to her :)).
As always, I didn't remember to take a photo of the whole package so this pic is from Sonda's blog.

As a part of my new future I have started a business course that helps people to start their own businesses. I have a business idea with my friend but time tells if it really happens some day. :) The course is on Mondays and Wednesdays and also requires some homework to be done every week.
