The Snowflower Diaries

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!...

My dear stitchers, How are you doing? I spend most of my free time in the garden.  I had been to Italy last month on a needlework show, Fili Senza Tempo, I will publish a post about it, I still arranging the thousand picture I took traveling in Bologna and Modena. As for today, please welcome the MAY pattern of the Joyful World Calendar!:-) The patterns of the calendar are all free for personal use.  You can also download them from T he Snowflower Diaries Facebook Page and its Pinterest board. You are also welcome to join our Facebook group dedicated to stitching along this calendar! We have 5,000+ wonderful members, I am so happy! Happy stitching!:-)

Dear Stitchers, I am happy to share the February pattern of my primitive cross stitch calendar SAL, Joyful world. I hope you will like my little ducks:-))) It is absolutely free for personal use.

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! ...
