DH is, as we speak, flying to New Zealand - by my calculations, he will be over Eastern Europe by now! Yesterday was really really hard for me - outside I was so excited for him going to the Southern Hemisphere, with all the wonderful experiences he will gain and I know he will have a lovely time. Inside I was feeling so melancholic as we have never been apart before for more than a couple of days. But despite my outward appearance, he knew what was going on ... let's face it, he knows me so well.Work today has been a relief - keeping me really busy and no time to sit and mope!
My blog entries will probably be slightly less colourful as DH took the digital camera. I have added some Tatty Ted's to break up the text somewhat.
If, like me, you enjoy reading San's reviews of our top UK Cross Stitch magazines, take a look at her latest views for Cross Stitcher http://angelsan.free.fr/blog.php?p=774#comments - it looks like a good issue, judging by San's comments!
I have terminated my subscription for Q&E Cross Stitch as it has disappointed me for about 90% of the year (the renewal notice arrived at the weekend and it prompted me to make the decision!). Despite the excellent credentials of the guest designers, there are a number of charts that I feel fall well short of the quality I would expect to pay for. I did feedback some comments to the editor but I feel it may not have been taken seriously enough for changes to be made ....
I will be doing a review of Cross Stitch Collection on Saturday as it is due to reach the shops on Friday.
Sincere good wishes to you all for a dreamy Valentine's Day, and, including those to whom the day does not hold a particular significance (as I am aware that not everyone is in agreement with the commerciality of the Day -a sentiment I partially agree with), may your Tuesday be happy, peaceful and serene.

Don't forget your online friends are only a click away! ;)
I do hope you'll have a nice and active week nonetheless... (((hugs!)))
(I'm among those who don't celebrate Valentine's day because of its commerciality ;) Although I don't despise the sweetness of couples celebrating it!)
Hi Ali! Same as Isabelle: we don't celebrate, but we love to see that people celebrate it...
I know how hard it can be to spend some time away from your DH, and the most difficult part is the beginning. After, you know it's one day less, etc...
So I'm sending you my encouragements and cheers!
And lots of hugs!
Lili
I hope the time without DH passes by quickly. Meanwhile, maybe it will mean extra stitching time for you.

DH and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day at all. The only good thing I see in it is some of the specialty candy that comes out for it. Though I don't mind if others splurge on it. And mind I get lots of dirty looks for my lack of Valentine spirit. Hopefully the days pass quickly for you till hubbie gets back.
Happy V day! Just stopped by, after being sick all weekend, and wanted to say your Wedding Sampler turned out fantastic!
Hope DH has a fab time in NZ, but that time time doesn't pass too slowly for you. You have some beautiful stitching on your blog!
