But to be honest the main reason why I didn't post my TUSAL jar on time was because its was snowing in Amman!
Sorry Daffycat I was so excited and distracted I didn't do anything to do with cross stitch (or blogging about it) at all :)
some pics of us during the snow...

Now, TUSAL:

| The right side was my jar from last year, a bunch of ORT in front of it was from my 2 weeks work in Turkey during last Christmas/New Year holiday. I am going to combine them with 2012 ORT since they are the result from that year even though produced after Dec TUSAL post. The left side is my new 2013 jar. pretty good I guess :) |
Jardin January
The holidays were a little stressful...let's relax in a nice garden. Work on any piece with flowers or gardens.
My initial plan was to make 1993's Dimension chart ''GRANCHILDREN ARE LIKE FLOWERS IN THE GARDEN OF LIFE'' that I want to make as a gift for my parents.
Unfortunately, I couldn't start with it yet :( But I am very optimistic hopefully in the next 10 days I can make it :D
At the meantime, I made two little stitches from Lizzie Kate that I think would fit the theme as well:
***** many thanks, terima kasih, sağol, شُكْرًا
Wow! I didn't know that it could snow in the Middle East. Is that unusual? Global warming?
ReplyDeleteLove your two garden stitcheries.
Hi Kaye, snow is not unusual in Jordan, last year we had it too in February and March, even though only for 1 day. However this year we had it earlier (even earlier than europe I think, only Turkey beat us a couple days before) and thicker than usual.
DeleteHello
ReplyDeleteYour snow photos are great - we have snow here too!
Lovely TUSAL and gorgeous stitching!
Thank you Meg, now the snow is gone, Amman is getting warmer but I think the temperature will dropped again in Feb
DeleteGreat pics and a lot of fun in the snow!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely Dimensions chart, Hope you can finish it in time.
