Some picture at last ... :)

Hey everyone! I'm back. Wow, time sure flies. It has been more than a month I didn’t post any of my stitching progress. Thank you for all your kind words and messages. Em .. I’m very sure that I'm not pregnant. Not from now as my youngest son is still young and need a lot of my attention. There is nothing happen on me just want to give myself a good rest and put more attention to my children.

My Beloved from A Stitcher’s Hand has done this far. Maybe for some of you it is boring but for me .. I like it. I have a hard time to finish this 2 part because I keep on miss count some box. End up I have to restitch again … I have now completed the top section of “Beloved”.

Second, I manage to finish a small tote bag. The design is a freebie from Lizzie*Kate.

That is all from me for the moment. Hope everyone is well and getting lots of stitching done.

Something to update !!

I didn’t realize that it has been more than a week since my last update. My life has been so busy this day. DH, kids & hobbies takes up almost all of the 24 hours provided.

First I finished one of my old projects into pinkeep. This is my first try to finished a finished piece into pinkeep .. a thing that I wanted to try for so long … At the moment, I'm not really satistied with the outcome ... There is always having some place for improvement and hope to make a better one in future.

Next up is another finish … yeah. This is my final installment for the Be Glad Sajou. As I informed earlier on my previous blog, mine will be finished as a stitcher’s waller & I have some ideas on it.

The Wedding Bell is framed !!!

Thank you EVERYONE for the lovely comments you left everytime visit my blog. They mean so much to me.

Here is a picture of Wedding Bell framed. I pass it to my friend before I went for my long holiday and only now I manage to post it on my blog. Didn't I match the color very well and my framer do a beautiful job?

Wedding Bells

Just finished stitch this Wedding Sampler call "Wedding Bells" by Joan Elliott for Design Works Crafts.

It was a gift to my colleague, Valencia who going to end her single life by this end of the year and as I already promise her that I going to stitch something for her ... here you go. I just love this design because it look so cheerful with the beautiful color choose by Joan. It doesn't require a lot of thread and involve a little bit of french knot.

Hope Valencia will love the wedding sampler that I specially stitch for her.

Valencia, as you begin a new life together ... here's me, wishing you the best for your future together !! Here is a wonderful poem that I specially dedicate to you ...

Getting married means you'll have

Getting married means you'll have

Someone's hand to hold,

Even when you're feeling sick,

Even when you're old.

It means when you sit down to eat,

Someone will be there,

So you won't have to tell your day

To an empty chair.

It means that you can have some kids

Just like a mom and dad,

And play with them all afternoon,

Except when they are bad.

It means that when you need some help,

Someone will help out,

Someone always near to you

So you won't have to shout.

But best of all is when it's time

To turn out all the lights:

You won't have to be alone

Those long and scary nights.

So even though you don't have toys,

You don't have to care:

Once you're married you can be

Each other's teddy bear!

Done on my Nature's Beaty ...

I would like to show everyone on my finished piece of Nature’s Beauty that I have done this morning. It is so please to see the finished piece and I just love the Little House Needlework design. It is simple yet so meaningful and I can’t insist my self from stitch and stitch the chart until finished.

I think I going to use her design as a guideline for me to come out with some of design that I wish to create especially on some of the phrase and wording that we usually use in our routine life. With her simple alphabet on both designs that I stitch (Home of a Needleworker and Nature’s Beauty) I roughly got an idea to do a simple design for myself .... *wink and hopefully this in not just a dream ... lol.
