I know you haven't seen me for some time here. It seems that even blogging has become difficult for me these days. Anyway...<br />

And that's her Advent Calendar.<br />
I am on December 22nd so here is my photo.<br />

I had stitched this Christmas stocking for my son back in 1997. I managed to finish it for his third Christmas and I really like it so very much. There is so much detail in it. And beads too.<br />

I had found the pattern in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CrossStitcherMag/">Cross Stitcher magazine </a>issue of December 1996 and my mum did the finishing into a stocking when I finished it in time for Christmas 1997. So it was totally a labour of love from a mother and a grandmother to my little boy Miltos. I hope he will treasure it as a heirloom. And I hope you like it too.<br />
For this Christmas I only stitched this little piece from Winter 2018 <a href="https://www.craftpod.co.uk/">Craftpod</a> kit. It's beautiful isn't it?<br />

The red berries branch is from an older Craftpod kit too.<br />
Jo also asked us to say in this blog post our favourite Christmas movie. If you read all the blog posts you will find lots of interesting movies to see for Christmas.<br />
My favourite Christmas movie is a Finnish film called Joulutarina ( Christmas Story). It was sent to me as a DVD gift by my Finn friend Johanna and her family after we had visited Finland after Christmas 2006. You can find the movie with English subtitles on You tube and I personally show this movie to my pupils of the 6th grade every year and they love it.<br />

The second movie I love to watch not only every Christmas but also through the year and I have watched really a hundred times is You've Got Mail with Tom Hanks and Meg Rayan. In fact I am going to watch it today again as it is on our TV although I have it as a DVD as well when I want to watch it at other times. I especially like the scenes from New York at Christmas.<br />

I recently saw another movie on Netflix and really liked it so I thought of suggesting that one too. It is Klaus and it is animated and very very witty. I am sure you will like that, too.<br />

If you have read so far then I have a gift for you. This is a Christmas kit I had received from my friend Marabeth many years ago but I know this is not something I am going to stitch so if you feel like stitching it please say so in your comment. I will pick someone on 31st December.<br />

I never managed to do the August issue of Let the people choose as I was not in town and also didn't have anything monochromatic to show.<br />
But September's theme is bees and I should have something ready but I haven't.<br />
Still I am showing it to you as its theme is bees.<br />
It is the summer kit by <a href="https://www.craftpod.co.uk/">Craftpod </a>.<br />
I loved it although I haven't stitched it yet as I seem to be out of stitching mood. It will come back eventually as long as we will be entering cold, rain and winter, I guess.<br />
Anyway Craftpod is a kit that comes out every four months. It is a surprise so you don't know what there will be in it. It usually has two things to make.<br />
Here's the bees themed kit. There was a hoop embroidery and a recipe.<br />

Jo asks us to show in the blog post something we were gifted cross stitch wise, or something we made and gifted.<br />

Unfortunately I haven't managed to stitch at all this month. We were supposed to be at the beach house and I would stitch but things evolved differently.<br />
Anyway let me first of all show you the new summer<a href="https://www.craftpod.co.uk/"> craftpod</a> I gifted myself. It is dedicated to bees which are getting extinct and we should do something to protect them.<br />

This summer again I am taking part in the summer craft challenge organised by Anna of <a href="http://inmyc.gr/">In my closet.</a> This time Anna is collaborating with other blogs to challenge us to be more creative. The first collaboration was with Katerina of <a href="https://mindspinfabrica.com/">Mindspinfabrica</a> and Katerina asked us to make something stamped. So I used my sea themed stamps ( a gift from Karen some years ago, hence it belongs to GG) to stamp on self drying clay and make some ring dishes and key rings. The end result isn't very good but I loved making them.<br />

Finally I'd like to share here with you some photos from the aftermath of a cyclone or Supercell or superstorm or waterspout that happened on the evening of July 10th at Chalkidiki where my beach house is. The phenomenon was awful and very very strong. It had continuous lightning, typhoon winds, rain and hail at the same time. Unfortunately seven people were killed in the area, six of them tourists among them two children. One tourist, a Russian father with his two-year-old child was killed at the hotel next to our house.<br />
The photos are all mine and they are in our neighbourhood.<br />

Hi everyone!<br />
Let the people choose is Jo's of <a href="https://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2019/07/the-people-chose-finishing.html">Serendipitous Stitching</a> brainchild.<br />
The first Saturday of the month we post on our blog according to a theme.<br />
As I don't do finishing at my cross stitch pieces and only frame them I can't show you much. My finishing is usually a custom made frame.<br />
Like this one for example.<br />

And here's a recent find at a flea market which I couldn't possibly pass. A whole cross stitched runner with beautiful colours, lots of silver in it too, and dark velvet all around. It is in excellent condition and bought it very very cheap. So this will adorn my big dining table in winter!<br />

This month the theme is mermaids, such a great theme as I love summer, the sea, mermaids, sea world and sea glass!<br />
What can I show you to stitch about mermaids?<br />
There are some free patterns that I'd love to stitch one day.<br />
First this mermaid by Alita Designs. <a href="https://alitadesigns.com/?p=332">You can find it here.</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now apart from these there are lots more mermaid patterns that I'd love to stitch one day.<br />
I have even bought two second hand ones from a fb destashing page. One is of the <a href="http://www.mirabilia.com/category/mermaids/">Mirabilia </a>mermaids.The enchanted mermaid.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mirabilia even has a<a href="http://www.mirabilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Mirabilia-Mia-Mermaid-Australia-2017-Pattern-to-Print.pdf"> free mermaid pattern on their site.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(photo taken from the Mirabilia page)</div>
And I also bought a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SatsumaStreet/">Satsuma Street </a>mermaid. Which if I ever stitch it it will be on white or light blue fabric and not dark blue or black as the original.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You can even find a free mermaid pattern on her site. It is called <a href="http://thelittlestitcher.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-guardians-of-sea-free.html">The guardians of the sea</a>. I have stitched this many a time and have given it as a gift to sea glass friends.</div>

Finally I'd like to show you some mermaids paintings from a recent exhibition I went to. The exhibition was organised by the Northern Greece Painters Association.(SKETBE).</div>

Every month we choose a theme and show items we have stitched on that theme or things we would like to stitch one day.<br />
I usually stitch something for the theme but this time I didn't manage to finish the piece I started.<br />
Still I decided to show it to you.<br />

I have started April in my Bucilla Flowers of the month bookmarks. In fact I started it last April 2018 and this April I haven't finished it yet. I have to work harder on it otherwise it will be my longest WIP.<br />
Here it is so far.I am making it into a frame and not individual bookmarks.<br />

Of course I have lots of patterns and kits with flowers to stitch but I wonder when I will manage to make them all. Apart from the Permin pattern all the others are gifts. I want to stitch those first.When?<br />

Hello everyone and have a great Easter!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every year Jo of Serendipitous Stitching organizes an <a href="https://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2019/04/easter-treasure-hunt-blog-hop-2019.html">Easter treasure hunt blog hop</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What you do is to hop all around the blogs that take part and see the beautiful Easter or Spring stitching they have done. Also if you collect all the letters that each blog gives, you will find a phrase. Go back to Jo's blog and leave a comment with the phrase. You have till Friday May 3rd.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now guess who is the first bunny to hop? Me! Thank you Jo!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And what Easter/Spring theme stitching do I have to show you? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well I finished this blackbird embroidery patchwork design. The blackbird hoop is from the Spring kit by <a href="https://www.craftpod.co.uk/">Craftpod</a> which I really loved. I have an annual subscription at craftpod and manage to make most of their crafts. I must say this one is one I really liked very much.</div>

The letter P is from the fabric book I made last year. My post in the first three months of 2018 show the whole of the alphabet and the book. But it is always a work in progress as I still add things in it.</div>

GG is the brainchild of Jo of <a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2019/04/april-gifted-gorgeousness-link-up-post.html">Serendipitous Stitching</a>. We are here to present things we were gifted or we gifted. This wasn't a very good month stitch wise. But first I would like to show you this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a felted tealight stone candle holder to take part in a competition by <a href="https://gr.flyingtiger.com/">Flying Tiger</a> that ends on April 19th. You still have time to go on Instagram and vote for me by liking my photo, and tagging a friend of yours. Here is the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvi9KnXHxjf/">link to it.</a></div>

The last thing to show you is a recent find from the Goethe vintage bazaar. It is a very well made embroidery of the famous painting by Rembrandt The man with the Golden helmet. I couldn't pass it as it was just a couple of euros. So much work and a great frame.</div>

This month's Let the people choose has got the theme of Specialty Stitches.<br />
Let the people choose is the brainchild of Jo of Serendipitous Stitching and you can read this month's blogpost and link-up post <a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-people-chose-speciality-stitches.html">here</a>.<br />
As you probably know by now I do cross stitch and sometimes embroidery. So I am not into specialty stitches.<br />
Therefore I have nothing to show you! LOL!<br />
But a long time ago I had won a giveaway win at a fellow stitcher's blog and I was sent this magazine. It is full of specialty stitches projects.<br />
No, I am not going to stitch any of them or start working with specialty stitches. I have enough cross stitch for the next twenty years.<br />
So if any one of you would like the magazine please let me know and I will send it to you. Just let me know in your comment that you want the magazine.<br />
Cross stitching, crafting and blogging is sharing after all! Right?<br />

Hello there again! It is Gifted Gorgeousness time again.<br />
Jo of <a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/">Serendipitous Stitching</a> organizes this so you can go to her blog and visit all blogs that take part in it. It is things we have stitched and gifted or things that were gifted to us.<br />
First of all this is a photo I have shown in a previous blog post. It is a photo filled with freebies from magazines I have collected for years and freebies from magazines that were gifted to me or small kits gifted to me. I decided to stitch them this year all or most of them and usually then I gift the patterns and left over threads.<br />

This month I managed to make some sea glass felted stones for some friends to whom I should have sent one some months (or maybe years) ago. I had received a gift from them and would like to thank them for their gifts. Some of them have received their stone, some haven't so I won't mention any names. I made four blue ones.</div>

And two pink ones. I have decided to use up my beads so I will not buy more new beads. I have so many so I will be making my stones from now on only in the colours I have beads for.<br />

It has been a month of snow and cold but Spring has sprung so we try to walk at the sea front a bit. Here I am with a vintage Indian block printed silk scarf gifted to me by my dear cousin and was brought from France. As Green is the colour of hope it makes me smile in the sunshine and hope for the best in future. Thank you dear!<br />

Freebies (the little free gift kits that accompany magazines) were at first what got me hooked with cross stitch when I was pregnant with my son. I bought the magazines (mainly Cross Stitcher and Needlecraft) to get the free kits to stitch. I loved them. I collected so many with every magazine I bought that I couldn't stitch all of them at some point. Every January I make a New Year's Resolution to finish my huge pile of free kits from magazines ( I have many gifted to me too by friends) and every year I stitch some but I still have many. At times I give away some as gifts to make other people want to learn how to do cross stitch. I also stitch and give them as gifts.<br />
Here you can see how many I still have.That's a shoe box.(again I say many of them are gifts not bought by me)<br />

Now that I see them I think most of my older ones were stitched or gifted. The most of what you see in this photo are gifts.<br />
Anyway freebies are not only free kits from magazines.<br />
Freebies can also be free patterns one can find on various sites to stitch for free.<br />
Be careful here. If you simply look for free cross stitch patterns on various sites they might lead you to illegally shown patterns and not real free patterns from designers. You can read a bit about copyright in cross stitch patterns in this <a href="http://minizdiary.blogspot.com/2019/03/let-people-choose-march-freebies.html">blog post</a> of Minizdiary.<br />
Here I will give you a couple of pages that have some free patterns along with some to buy. I have stitched some of the free ones from these sites and really enjoyed them<br />
First it is <a href="http://thelittlestitcher.blogspot.com/p/freebie.html">The Little Stitcher.</a> She also has a beautiful<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LittleStitcherShop"> etsy shop here.</a><br />
And then it <a href="http://thesnowflowerdiaries.blogspot.com/">the Snowflower Diaries</a>. She too has an <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheSnowflowerDiaries">etsy shop here.</a><br />
You can find lots of free patterns in <a href="https://gazette94.blogspot.com/search/label/free%20pattern">gazette94</a> too.<br />
Finally there are some freebies on<a href="https://www.ajisaipress.com/category/blog/freebies-tutorials/"> AjisaiPress</a> and they also have some amazing things on the <a href="https://www.ajisaipress.com/catalogue-2/digital-delivery/cross-stitch-designs/">eshop</a> too.<br />
I hope I have made you want to stitch a bit more now! Till next month!Ariadnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04758280304985620260noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412664407533104581.post-78357269966438442852019-02-24T11:18:00.001+02:002019-02-26T19:34:44.773+02:00Diane of Lavender Dreams too lost her blog.EDIT: Diane got her blog back! You can read it <a href="http://lavenderdreamstoo.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-drama-continues-but-were-still-here.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I have a blog land friend Diane, a sweet lady who recently sent me sea glass from Cape Canaveral.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkbYFSWNDfGnJo_14JSOWA__pPXMiUkFej4dmBBVWlfhqp6-BESTT_6KWnTeZ8Uh05kPSP9BW02a_qNYI84HazvibmkO8RQO_0reN8V6_RH2aeQXqs2-mAe_4H0xLPmijd-E39otuI1G4v/s1600/IMG_20190125_141605-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkbYFSWNDfGnJo_14JSOWA__pPXMiUkFej4dmBBVWlfhqp6-BESTT_6KWnTeZ8Uh05kPSP9BW02a_qNYI84HazvibmkO8RQO_0reN8V6_RH2aeQXqs2-mAe_4H0xLPmijd-E39otuI1G4v/s640/IMG_20190125_141605-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
She had her blog for ten years and all of a sudden her blog was removed by blogger for unknown reasons.<br />
Those of you who used to read her blog you can find her now at <a href="https://lavenderdreamsnew.blogspot.com/">Lavenderdreamsnew</a>.<br />
Her new address is https://lavenderdreamsnew.blogspot.com<br />
Imagine losing a blog you have been carefully and beautifully writing for ten years.<br />
So back up your blog just in case not to lose all those photos and comments etc.<br />
For those of us who blog just to keep a record of our daily lives and keep contact with our friends in blogland Diane's story is devastating.<br />
The rest is what Diane and her husband wrote in her new blog about the situation.<br />
<br />

<div class="post-header" style="background-color: #f6f6ff; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's right. "<i>The Rise of the Machines</i>" is upon us. Our former happy little blog (lavenderdreamstoo.blogspot.com) was suddenly terminated.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Why and how was it done? It wasn't someone reporting us. It was Google's automated piece of software (a bot) that roams the Blogger world looking for pre-programmed words of woe. Once it detects something it kills the whole blog without warning. Without any notification about these supposed offending words. Without an opportunity to fix anything. Just ZAP ... your digital life is deleted. Everything is gone!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ten years of blogging, thousands of posts, many thousands of photos, over ten thousand comments and a hundred thousand heart-felt words all gone in an instant. Devastating! Be warned all you innocents in blogland.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The blog was actually removed twice, for "phishing". Which, as you all know, is absurd. We have never asked for your personal, private information. The Appeals process reinstated the blog the first time then the Google Bot zapped us again the next day. But the second time we were locked out of the Appeals process. We tried sending Feedback. Never got a answer. Tried to post to the Blogger Help Community. They never published the post. Located twenty phone numbers for Google. The numbers are all automated and only a couple allowed you to leave a message. We left messages. Never got a callback.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Google/Blogger pronounces you guilty using an "automated system" (their words) and gives you little or no opportunity to prove otherwise. It's been a nightmare. (for more details see the timeline post below)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what choice do we have now that Google/Blogger has burned down our blog? Like the Phoenix from Greek mythology we shall rise from the ashes with this new blog. We will start over and hope that our many friends and followers will be able to find us and that they will never ever have to suffer the same fate.</div>
<b><i>Mr. Lavender D.</i></b><br />
<hr style="border-color: rgb(153, 0, 153); border-image: initial; border-style: solid; height: 1px; width: 500px;" />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can imagine how devastating this has been to me. I appreciate my sweet hubby taking the time to help me start a new blog. But can I ask all of you to do me a favor? Will you please put a sentence or two in your next post to let people know where I am and what has happened to me? You can say that my blog was unfairly removed by Blogger and we are trying our best to get it back, but for now I will post updates on the process here:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>lavenderdreamsnew.blogspot.com</b></div>
And also a plea to Blogger to bring back lavenderdreamstoo. We're a supportive community! Maybe they will listen if we all voice our consternation together!</div>
<b><i>Thank you, Lavender Dreamer Diane</i></b><br />

It's Gifted Gorgeousness time again. And for those of you who are new here it means to present in a blog post things we stitched for gifts or stitchy gifts we received.<br />

This is an idea by Jo of <a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2019/02/february-gifted-gorgeousness-link-up.html">Serendipitous Stitching</a> blog.<br />
So from January 15th to February 15th we have...<br />
I used up very low count aida I was gifted along with vintage left over dmc threads in all kinds of blue to make a sweet heart ornament cushion for someone I love very much. I chose a pattern from pinterest. The link goes to <a href="http://crochemaravilhadearte.blogspot.com/2011/02/grafico-ponto-cruz-coracao.html">this blog.</a><br />

I have been working on a collage lately. I had bought a<a href="https://www.daphnesdiary.com/"> Daphne's Diary</a> for 2017 but didn't use it so now I am adding on it all kinds of photos from magazines and I paint on it and stick stamps and all kinds of embellishments to make an art book. Here are a couple of pages from it.</div>

I am taking part again this year in Jo's of <a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2019/02/secret-stitching-sweetheart-blog-hop.html">Serendipitous Stitching</a> Secret Stitching Sweetheart Blog Hop.<br />
This year I stitched something I gave as a gift to a person I love very much which you will see in my next Gifted Gorgeousness blog post.<br />
Today I am showing you the card I received via Jo.<br />
It is a lovely beaded heart, stitched and framed! I really loved it!<br />
Who made this and sent it to me? Who is my Secret Stitching Sweetheart? Is it you?<br />

Thank you for the lovely card!<br />
And thank you Jo for the chance to take part in Valentine's Day blog hop again this year.<br />
This post will be edited when I find out who made this!<br />
EDIT! It has been revealed! This sweet bead heart was finished by Mary H of <a href="http://www.marysthread.com/?p=1751#">Mary's thread</a> who inherited the talents and this half finished heart from her grandmother and finished it in time for the blog hop!<br />

This wasn't a good week. It started with my birthday and I was sick!Had the flu so nothing much to say for my birthday. Also other things happening around make me sad and I don't really feel like stitching.<br />
But there are some things I can do. Like this.Let the people choose, Jo's of <a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/">Serendipitous Stitching </a>first Saturday of the month activity is to show you things one would like to stitch or have stitched according to a theme.<br />

What have I stitched?<br />
I have lots of threads some are not DMC, some are old, vintage, no numbers on them but I really want to use them up so I decided to use them on gifts I want to make and not to care about numbers.<br />
I wanted to make a heart gift for someone I really love so I chose this free pattern from pinterest.<br />

I followed the link and found the pattern on this blog from Brazil called <a href="http://crochemaravilhadearte.blogspot.com/2011/02/grafico-ponto-cruz-coracao.html">Croche maravilha de art.</a><br />
So I stitched the pattern with all the blue threads I had on a gifted fabric with huge holes and turned it finally into a cushion!I won't show it to you now as I am keeping the photo for the Valentine card blog hop.<br />

Hello everyone! This is the first Gifted Gorgeousness of the new year 2019. I hope I will manage to keep up with it this year too. GG is the brainchild of Jo of <a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2019/01/january-gifted-gorgeousness-link-up-post.html">Serendipitous Stitching</a> and I am happy to say I have been motivated to stitch more since I started taking part in it.</div>

But first I'd like to show you a bit of my Christmas decorations this year. The table I covered with my stitched piece from last year.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihST6nvSdRwUrAFAurUBp4iXqe9NAr99W4297LcOkk3hdqMuVw1ntWAgxzKaRHwAb7Jxb6MD-Xe0TBLCCW1WUx09akEc6prT5c0NqrFS-iUc9Jqw1VySoGgsNkx65gJpLshKIB3cN-IhRz/s1600/IMG_20181213_214018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihST6nvSdRwUrAFAurUBp4iXqe9NAr99W4297LcOkk3hdqMuVw1ntWAgxzKaRHwAb7Jxb6MD-Xe0TBLCCW1WUx09akEc6prT5c0NqrFS-iUc9Jqw1VySoGgsNkx65gJpLshKIB3cN-IhRz/s640/IMG_20181213_214018.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
And put some more stitched pieces on it. The big one at the back was a gift from dear Marabeth from the States and I custom framed it.<br />

The little piece I stitched last Christmas and had won the pattern from Kaye of <a href="http://kittenstitching.blogspot.com/">Kitten stitching</a> and also gifted the pattern afterwards.The caroler next to the stitched piece is a gift from Marabeth's personal collection too.<br />

Before I go I have to show you something else. It recently snowed a lot in my city. I wasn't there the first time as we were in Athens for the funeral of a relative. But when we returned it snowed a bit again and I managed to take some macro photos of snowflakes.<br />

As the title says it all Let the people choose theme this month is about new starts. So what am I going to start stitching this year? I made a quick decision.<br />
First of all I am going to stitch one small thing every month.These are all little freebies, kits I have received with magazines I had bought in the past or gifts from friends who know that I love stitching. So here there are 12 smalls.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are three bookmarks (one from Scotland, two from Canada), a magazine freebie to make a stitched cube and a stitched little cottage,a freebie beadwork card, a little butterfly picture, a little flower picture in a frame, a pincushion, two needle cases and a florist's card. I don't know which one I will start first, probably the needle cases.<br />
Then come the New Starts from my kits.<br />

The kitchen bell pull and the cardinal picture were gifts from my friend Marabeth and the third one I had bought to make for our wedding anniversary. It is printed fabric but you stitch on it too.<br />
Of course I will make my <a href="https://www.craftpod.co.uk/">craftpod </a>which is the winter box but since I have a yearly subscription I still have two more to come in the year.<br />

I will start with the Karaghiozis as I have to finish that one too. I am planning to continue stitching the flower monthly bookmarks each one in its month. I have already finished the first three so this wip will start in April and it will probably finish after many years as I usually get bored after making a couple of bookmarks. The seasons embroidery piece I will continue later as I have only Spring and Summer to stitch. And the blue and white one will go little by little as I am in no hurry to finish it.<br />
Of course I know I will have more things to stitch in between like the Let the people choose theme every month and of course I want to start my Christmas stitching early this year.<br />
I also want to make some sea glass felted stones for friends.<br />
Finally I have a wishful thinking list of items I would like to start stitching one day! LOL!<br />

This was my first year and I must say it made me stitch more in order to have a proper blog post every month. Thank you Jo of <a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/">Serendipitous Stitching </a>for making this possible. You can find the linking party <a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2018/12/december-gifted-gorgeousness-update.html">here</a> and see all the posts from other stitchers too.<br />

So from November 15th to December 15th I stitched the following!<br />
First this little dragon pin cushion. The pattern is December 2015 Holiday Treat from J.L. Aikman-Smith of<a href="https://www.facebook.com/DragonDreamsInc/photos/a.137350726341173/912897068786531/?type=3&theater"> Dragon Dreams Inc.</a> on facebook. You can find lots of free dragon patterns there. This travelled to a dragon loving stitching friend but has not been received yet so I can't say who it is.<br />

At another occasion I stitched three little beautiful trees to give to charity. We gathered at our friend Anna's of <a href="http://inmyc.gr/">In my closet</a> kitchen and made the trees for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dromoizois/">Dromoi Zois</a>, a charity in Athens. I managed to make three. Their bazaar was this weekend 15th and 16th December in Athens.<br />

the year is coming to its end and I still want to blog a bit.<br />
I recently won a beautiful giveaway from <a href="https://craftartista.blogspot.com/2018/11/birthday-candy.html">Craftartista</a> blog from dear Maria (aka Mia) who is very talented and makes beautiful things. She was celebrating her blog birthday and chose 22 winners! Wow! I was one of them!<br />
Here's what Mia sent me.<br />
Mia made for me a beautiful fabric tote which I will definitely use a lot. The lovely doilies were made by her grandmother and I really loved them. She also added a stamped cross stitch fabric which although I don't stitch on stamped fabrics I really want to do this one as it looks so sweet. She added lots of DMC threads, wooden items to stitch, three pairs of earrings she made herself and a lovely card she also made.<br />

This month the theme is dragons.You can read her post <a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-people-chose-dragons.html">here</a> and can link up if you want.<br />
I have never stitched anything with dragons so I had to look up and finally made this little Christmas dragon ornament.<br />
I am not very good at ornament making but I tried and used a vintage trim.<br />
The pattern is the December 2015 Holiday Treat from J.L.Aikman-Smith of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DragonDreamsInc/">Dragon Dreams Inc.</a><br />
You can find them on facebook and download lots of dragon patterns for free and for personal use.<br />

And here you can see the ornament on one of my son's favourite children's books. It is in Greek <a href="http://www.patakis.gr/viewshopproduct.aspx?id=175284">Drakologia</a> and you can find it in English as <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Dragonology-Complete-Book-Dragons-Ologies/dp/0763623296">Draconology by Ernest Drake</a>. It's a beautiful 3d book with lots of pop ups. It is amazing how much more expensive is the English version in contrast to the Greek one.It was published in 2003 and in Greek in 2004.<br />

And along Diane will receive the January stitched piece I made for Let the people choose January theme birthstones. Diane you were the only one with a January birthday that claimed it and also the only one who claimed the pattern so I didn't even have to make a choice. Please send me your full name and address. You will only have to wait a bit till I turn the stitched piece into an ornament, unless you want it like that to make it yourself or to frame it. Please let me know.<br />

Also and by the way those of you who commented on my Paperless Post blog post will receive a virtual Christmas card from me if your e-mail is connected to your comment profile.</div>

you might remember that at this time last year I was talking about writing Christmas cards and how I don't have the time for it.<br />
And I had introduced you to <a href="https://www.paperlesspost.com/" rel="nofollow">Paperless Post</a>., a site I had tried in order to send virtual Christmas cards.<br />
You can read my last year's <a href="https://ariadnefromgreece.blogspot.com/2017/11/paperless-post.html" rel="nofollow">post here.</a><br />
I don't know yet what I will do this year, if I will write real cards and letters or not. I will probably make a newsletter and send to all of my friends as well as some cards but I plan to use Paperless Post again for digital cards to all of my friends around the world as it is much faster and cheaper to do so.<br />
So in case you don't receive a real snail mail letter and card from me don't worry, you are definitely going to receive a virtual one and who knows you might get the real one later.<br />
I had a look at the <a href="https://www.paperlesspost.com/" rel="nofollow">Paperless Post</a> site to see what they have new this year and I really fell in love with this card which became my favourite.<br />

The site is very user friendly and you can choose from really many cards and you can change the fonts, the envelopes, even the postmarks on them. It is so entertaining to make your own digital card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can even use their Flyer which makes digital cards with gifs, text effects and stickers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One thing I would really love to see in their site is a bookish Christmas card and a fairy tale Christmas card too. Maybe they have one and I should look to other categories but there was not one in the Christmas, New Year and Holidays category.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So if you feel like making your own digital Christmas card go to<a href="https://www.paperlesspost.com/" rel="nofollow"> Paperless Post</a>.</div>
