I'm proud to announce that I already received my Designer's MA from my partner Gwen. At first I thought that I going to lost it because the previous MA that I join also organise by MailArt Friends Group was MIA and I waiting for so long for the arrival of this MA. I didn't put any hope on this MA.

Suddenly when I went home yesterday and I try to open my home gate. Something was attract me from my mailbox. When I open the mailbox then I was jumping. My son who still waiting inside the car was asking me .. "What happen mummy ???" I just look at him and smile.

This is Designer's MA from Gwen, Columbus, GA USA. She choose Bent Creek May Blooms design for me. Ohhh ... I just love it. It was simple but very sweet. Thanks Gwen for the wonderful MA and make my day .... and thanks Wendy for organised this exchange.

Christmas MA

I'm feeling pretty bad today. Having a headache and feeling so down. Maybe wanna sick already.

As for good news ... yesterday, my partner Lee O'Neil from USA have received the Christmas MA that I send out to her on December 6th, 2005. I really spent a lot of time to finished this MA and really happy to hear that Lee love the MA that I stitch. Since the theme is Christmas so I just stitch the "Merry Christmas"wording in front of the MA plus a Santa, holding a bird house.

As for the back of the MA, as usual I will not leave it empty without stitch anything beside my addie. I stitched a christmas border plus christmas wreath. If you notices, I stitch the red bead on the wreath to make it more real. With that I think it make the whole MA look really colourful and I finished it with red and yellow bead for the edging.

First Mailarts

A Summer Mailart for Teo Gaik Lin of Penang for Malaysian_Stitchers. The pattern is taken from Cross Stitch Collection Magazine. Stitching MA is really fun and I like to see the cross stitch when it turn into MA. There is no specific rule for us to follow on how to finish the MA and we can make the finishing with our own style. That why I'm using beads for all the MA that I make. I want all my MA receipient will see the different of my MA from other MA that they gonna received. After all, Sarawak - Land of Hornbill is rich with a lot of beads and easy to found it here.
