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.........................

Very Sweet Oleander


Yesterday i went to the framers to collect my framed masterpiece. Actually, i have never frame any of my xs, unless it is for a gift. Also, mayb cos' i do not know where to hang them, as i can't bang much nails on the walls (rented house maa).hehehe

Its such a beautiful picture. very sweet ...... Its a picture by Serendipity Designs called Sweet Oleander. I only realised something when i brought it back. The picture looks a bit empty on the left side. On the chart there was some Chinese characters, which i didn't want to stitch. More to i don't know what the characters meant. I shud have stitched some wordings there,huh.

Anyway its framed, and i loved it. And now to find a place to hang it. hmmmmmmmm....
