Oh, Canada!


Maple Syrup coursing through our veins this morning in downtown Nicosia, Cyprus...


What a sweet Victory, worth staying up late last night for the Hockey final!

what a start to the week and to my birthday month!

Wooohooo!

what, hexies?... sorry, the Olympic challenge was a not a success around here: even though I had my hexies on hand, I got so swept away and forgot to stitch...
Oops!
:)

I hope you have a wonderful beginning to the month of March wherever you are, with lots of Happy Stitching

  2. I loved watching the Olympics! I don't know what I am going to do now that they have finished. It's not fair we have to wait another 4 years.

    Happy Birthday month!!!!

  3. Hi Valentina,
    I have browsed through your blog at the mention of hexagons. I love hexagons. They always look so beautiful and offer endless design possibilities. Lovely.

    oh, are you from Ontario ? I haven't read all of your post. you are really far from home. at least you have some of that yummy maple sirup to help you forget a little of that homesickness.

  8. Helaas ik ben niet van het hockey-en. Wel een mooie foto op je blog. Misschien heb ik me niet voldoende verdiept in je blog maar ben je Nederlandse die in Cyprus is gaan wonen?
    Met dat stitchen etc. zal het wel lukken.
    Groetjes

  12. The Olympics were fantastic -- 14 golds for us at home! Finally!! The noise from the streets when we won that hockey final game was incredible and went on for hours!

My Patchwork Family Through Adoption

A Bit of Africa and China
Came knocking on our door
And in a home where there was longing
Now empty rooms no more

Like a Quilt of Many Colours
Our Family stitched together into One
God's Love and Grace for us Abundant
In the Miracle of our Sons
