I have finally uploaded some pics from our trip to Bulgaria!
Hop on over to Flickr to see them.

Since I started stitching on Evenweave I have almost completely stopped stitching with Aida. When Dawn switched over to Evenweave a few months ago, she told me she couldn’t believe how much neater the back of her stitching was on Evenweave.
I hadn’t really thought about it, but when I compare pieces I have done on Aida and on Evenweave, I think she has a point. My Evenweave backs seem much neater than my Aida cloth ones and I think I know why:
When I stitch on Evenweave, I am more careful with my counting. Sometimes I quadruple check to make sure I have gone over two and because I am nervous about whether or not I counted correctly, I am more apt stitch section by section rather than color by color. Stitching section by section makes me less likely to carry my thread very far and, as a result, I think my stitching on Evenweave is neater.
But I would like to know what you think about the subject. And that, of course, brings me to the Stitching Blogger’s Question of the Week, and that is:
Do you think that you stitch neater on Evenweave than you do on Aida cloth? If so, why?
Ich trinke keinen Kaffee. Ich finde, dass der Geruch des Kaffees himmlisch ist, aber der Geschmack ist übel. Als ich in Frankreich und New Orleans war, habe ich “Café au Lait” getrunken, aber normalerweise trinke ich keinen Kaffee.
Ich habe Kaffee probiert als ich Studentin war. Es war der 90er, und in der Zeit war Kaffee sehr beliebte. Ich erinnere mich als der Erste “Starbucks” in Iowa geöffnet hat. Mein freunde und ich waren cool, und wir haben viel Kaffee getrunken als wir Musik hörten und Poesie lasen und schrieben.
Ich habe gedacht, dass eines Tages wurde ich Kaffee mögen, aber ich hatte ein Grund dass ich kein Kaffee trinken wollte. Jedes Mal als ich Kaffee trank, habe ich Magenschmerzen bekommen. Also jetzt trinke ich Cola um mein notwendiges Koffein zu bekommen!
Translation: I don’t drink coffee. I find the smell heavenly, but the taste nasty. I drank “Café au Lait” when I was in France and in New Orleans, but normally I don’t drink coffee.
I tried coffee when I was a student: After all, it was the 90’s and coffee was very popular. I remember when the first Starbucks in Iowa opened. My friends and I were cool and we drank a lot of coffee while we sat around listening to music and writing and reading poetry.
I thought that one day I would eventually develop a taste for coffee, but I had a reason not to like it. Every time I drank it, it gave me a stomach ache. (And still does to this day.) So now I just drink Coke to get my daily caffeine fix!
