Happy!Happy!Happy!

This year, Raya Haji was celebrated at my 2nd sister's house in Enstek. Since me and my 2nd sis's birthday (just 2 days apart) is just round the corner, we both got our bday presents earlier. Neway, we won't know when we will gather again, since the school holidays will be over soon. (my my very fast the time flies)

I didn't know that my eldest sister was doing an xs thingy for me. Cos whenever. i'm at her place, she was doing stitching an xs piece for my 2nd sister. Will show u all the piece, too. My sister ni, her stitching is very very neat. And also a fast stitcher.

Here is mine. A TeaPot cover. Its really beautiful. I tot of just keeping it, sayang nak guna, but i got a lot of "WHAT!" from everyone. Hehehe. Okay will use it, when my sisters come to my place.

Tis is the front of the Tpot cover.

The back of the tpot cover. the back is stitch with beads n small glass flowers.

Tis piece is my 2nd sis nye. Made into a big cushion cover. Since her name starts with Ros..., my eldest sis did a picture of a rose. Real life memang cantik. I forgot to snap the back of the completed fabric, cos of my brother-in-law (her hubby) commented that the back stitches is lagi 'real'. Salute to her cos her stitches are very neat.

And tis is also a gift from my Spore sis besides other gifts that she got for me, too. M Loving it. I have always like Jane Greenoff's books. Got a lot of beautiful pictures in the book. Wow! new WIP????? hehehe.

So just to share some of the stitching gifts that i got. The rest of the gifts are equally beautiful. Thank u, Thank u, my lovely sisters, brother-in-laws, nieces n nephews. And most of all to my dear hubby and childrens. Thank U. Love u all.

Wishing everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Relax.....................

After completing my SAL, I need to take a break from xstitching. So I am doing a little piece of crochet for a friend, which actually have been longed overdue. I am using DMC Tradition(White).

I told myself I better complete tis piece before I continue with my xs wip again. My eyes are very tired mayb due to the many backstitch of my xs (or age catching up hehe..). I really do need to get a magnifying glass before i continue with my xs wip which is stitched on linen (excuse). Tis is my 1st time stitching on linen for my a big project.

Well, since December is coming, so must sent out hints to my family members esp my hubby. Hahaha!!


Pinkeep from my Partner

The day before i posted my pinkeep to my partner. And yesterday, i received my pinkeep from the CO herself, Cik Musliha.

Kerja tangan yg sungguh kemas(finishing parlour la di katakan. hehehe). The alphabet and its colour is so very sweet. My doter siap kata, kucing mat salleh sbb mata warna hijau.

Hari tu cuma dapat tgok sedikit sedutan kan, so here it is. Miss Pinkeep from my partner.

To Musliha, thank u,thank u.

Pinkeep Exchange

Today i am happy. Why? Cos i have completed my SAL and have posted out my Pinkeep to my partner.

So to all the members of the Pinkeep exchange, tunggu la bunyi hon postman anda.

To my partner, i hope u like it. Its just a simple picture with beautiful wordings that reflects our friendship. And it will always be treasured.

Here is a glimpse of the pinkeep. Will get my partner to show the full pic when she receives it.



The wordings "Whens hand reach out in Friendship, hearts are touched with Joy". I have used hearts emblishments to replace the word hearts.


Tis is the back part, can show in full la.


Sweet pink flowers.

So happy stitching and exchanging......

At Last .....My SAL is complete.



Phuyoh!!!! Happy giler. My SAL is complete. What a relief.

When i did the last stitch tis morning, i realise that, sleeping late tis few days and doing it early in the morning to complete tis piece(before i start housework ah) really pays off. It is really a beautiful piece.

So to all my stitching buddies, Thank u. Without u all nye sokongan, i might not have done tis piece.

So now i can continue with my other Wips i.e The Token & Gameboard sampler.

Pssst: a glimpse of my 2 Wips. When it will be complete, not sure. (am easily TER when i see nice charts)

With my own fingers......

I love to crochet. I think its easier and faster then doing crosstitch, but i still love them both. :)

Just like to show-off my tablecloth. hehehe..
Actually, I had always had a problem to get a nice tablecloth for my 'so called coffee table'. I called it my 'so called coffee table', cos it s actually a big pot with a piece of round wood (can't remember where i got the wood). But it fits nicely on the top of the pot.

So tis year raya, i am using the tablecloth that i completed crochet last year (bangga nye). Have to start a new piece now if i plan to use a new one for next raya.
(notice the brown pot)



It falls nicely, kan. But i think it is rather big. But nevermind, it save me from buying a new tablecloth. I suppose that's the reason i learn to crochet, so that i can have all tis done by myself.

Pssst...plan to crochet a tablecloth for my dining table, when not sure yet.(bertambah la WIP i)
