Gifts from Beautiful Friends

As the saying goes, "A picture paints a thousand words".

I am totally lost of words. Am still speechless. Just one word to my friends, THANK YOU for the lovely gifts.

Sorry if the pictures are not clear. Have taken from different angles, so as not o miss out any gifts.

Once again to my cyber friends, THANK YOU!THANK YOU!THANK YOU!.

My 1st Pinkeep

Just to get back my stitching mood, i have decided to do a small tool/ornament before i start on my SAL again. (My SAL is really way way way behind everyone else. Ibu, sorry no update on my SAL, will update at the end of the month).



Tis is my 1st try on doing a pinkeep. But am happy with the outcome eventhough got a bit 'cacat' here and there but manage to cover la. According to the tutorial, its fabric, mounting board & batting, but i did the other way, fabric, batting & mounting board. Neway, it still turn out to be a pinkeep.

I didn't put a ribbon on the top of the pinkeep, as i had trouble with adjusting the ribbon. Just wonder how its done. So i end up using pins. Also i have used a different kind of pin, or is tis the normal ones used. here is a picture of the pins. The head of the pin is bigger then the normal pins.



So here it is my Miss Pinkeep.



So now back to my menyeSAL.................

Cube Exchange

Thought of keeping to myself the cube but kesian to my friends who are waiting anxiously to see it.

Its a beautiful cube, all the sides of the cube have got different Tpots. (Sorry cudn't give a clear picture of all the sides). I have been wanting to stitch tis patterns when i 1st saw it in the mag, but put off the idea cos of too many WIPs. So thanks Ain, for giving me a beautiful cube.

And also not forgetting the beautiful gifts that come along with the cube. Ain gave me a crochet mag (cantik),a cording, a sweet lace and a pretty tote bag. And the tote bag is hmmmmm..... cantik. I think i know how Dania's bebe felt when she received her's from Ain, too.

Ain, thank u once again.

Update.....my crochet

My two doiles completed, washed & ironed. Both are equally beautiful, ehem! angkat bakul sendiri. hehehe....

Well, hope to do a tablecloth soon. Pattern da ada. But i'll use white thread again, as i have always love to crochet using white threads. Mayb, i'll start again when i need to relaxs myself from my xs.

my other hobby....crochet

Hmmmmmmm! Do not know why i just do not have the mood to do any xs stitching. Hope that tis 'no mood virus' will go away soon as i have to continue my SAL. And other wipssssss and exchanges. Syukur, i manage to finish the cube excen before being struck by the virus. hehehe.

Since i can't do any stitching, i decide to crochet. I love to crochet. Just started a piece of doily tis morning. Hope to complete by tomorrow. I have never tried any other colour threads and other brands. Me, always using white or cream brand minlon. Since someone told me that using DMC thread is also nice (but expensive), i decide to try it out.

there is a different in the thread. Minlon is abit furry compare to DMC, if u know what i mean. if tak tahu, nebermind. hahaha. Neway both threads are nice to crochet.
Here is the uncompleted piece. The blue piece is DMC & the coloured thread is from Minlon.




Will update again, when completed.

Cube Exchange

Here is a little glimpse of the cube that i have made for our group's Cube exchange. Will show the clear pic when my partner have received it.Or get my partner to show it. hehehe.........

I tot doing the cube wud be easier then a pendibule, but i was wrong. Doing a pendibule is so so much easier. I tried doing sumthing different, as the theme was called 'Surprise Me', but i was really surprise when i completed it. It did not turn out well as I have expected but since it done, i hope my partner will like it.

So to my partner, tunggu your abang postman eh. Have posted it out.
LOL.........................
