Lazy Stitcher Who Miss Her Stitching...

Whoaaa... It been a while since my last posting. I guess I’m not only a lazy stitcher, but a lazy blogger as well * sigh *


Yess !! I do miss my stitching, I miss it a lot !!! As far as I could remember, the very last time I do my stitching is a month after Hari Raya. I stitched for my Needlecrafter’s Yahoo Group RR – working on Niesa’s RR. A cute raspberry teapot, chart from Stitchworld.



Today is the last day of 2007. I don’t have much progress in my stitching this year, only a couple of exchange & RR from local stitching group that I joined. I wish I cud stitch more in 2008. At least to complete my UFOs and my BIPs project. Well, most of my stitching projects other than exchanges & RRs are big projects * sigh *

I didn’t continue my tatting this year, thou I bought some tatting stash. As usual M the collector, hik hik..

For year 2008, among my many resolutions (not really resolutions as every year it still the same – no change) I hope I cud spend some time on my stitching, tatting & gardening as well in 2008. But I foresee, I have limited time as I am maidless recently. My maid who supposed to come back after the Christmas after a month break, did not come back. After some discussions with dear hubby, we decided not to take a maid anymore. But we have to give 2 months as trial period. If we cud manage without a maid, then we’ll do without one. Otherwise if worst comes to worst, we got no choice but to employ a maid.

So do wish me gud luck for year 2008 !!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

A Tribute to Smoothy

I wuz at Mid Valley yesterday, attending a reunion with my former classmates when my son called me. He said he saw our cat, Smoothy wuz run over by school van in front their school. At first, I thought he might be mistaken Smoothy with other cat. Until I reached home in the evening, my daughther has confirmed about Smoothy sudden demise. For a second, I wuz speechless and refused to say anything about Smoothy. But the true facts, I feel really sad that her life ended in such a tragic accident.

Before I went to sleep last nite, I saw my other cat - Nemo wuz sitting quietly at the sofa. I brought him to my sons' room where he has his fav spot. Later when I went to check on my daughters, I felt that he bite my toe. I cuddle him and saw his sad face. I looked into his eyes, and I saw his sorrows. I think he know about Smoothy's death. They were closed before I left Smoothy at my children's school. I tried to console Nemo, but at the end M the one who shed tears for the thought that if Smoothy still with us, she's still breathing.

To Smoothy, I regret for what I've done to you. I feel sorry and really sad you have to endure such pain - being run over by a van. I know, by now you will be well taken care up there. Smoothy.. life isn't smooth like your name.. but now you've gone smoothly..

Smoothy, I LOVE YOU and gonna MISS you...

p/s : This is my 1st time crying for the death of my cat. I didn't feel this sad, when my beloved cat - Tutu gone missing last year.

Happy Birthday Gal...

Happy Birthday Gal...
May many happy returns..

Quack.. Quack.. Quack...

I can't resist myself from joining this Quaker Pinkeep Exchange when Mona announced it over the board. And guess who's my partner ? The organiser, herself.. hik hik..



Since I have very limited collection of quaker charts, it took me longer time to find for suitable chart. Finally I fall in love with this chart called 'Essuie de Parade', from Gigi's blog. I stitched one of the motifs from the chart, using DMC variegated no. 111 stitched on white 28ct linen.

For the back piece, I used a fabby with prints looks like quaker (see the background of the photo) which I bought some time back from Craft World.


Thank Lene, Lillie & Dania, for visiting my blog.

Garden Theme Pincushion

Stitched for Barbara for our NeedlesNCrafts Pincushion Exchange. I decided to name this pincushion as Garden Theme Pincushion, where I stitched Barbara's initials in flower alphabets. I also used cotton fabby with butterflies print to match.

Spice Tea Pincushion

A lovely pincushion stitched by Zohrah for our NeedlesNcrafts Pincushion Exchange. Design is from San Man Original tea party, entitled "Spice Tea".

Thanks Zohrah, I really love this pincushion and admire your neat stitching. And at the same time, I feel honour getting this knowing that you spent hours stitching for such a big chart for this exchange.. Thanks and muacchhh....

XStitches Pendibule Exchange 2007

Take a look at these... !!! A collection of all pendibules that have been stitched by all the participants from the recent exchange.. They're all look very lovely, aren't they.. I love them all, in fact !

And this is the pendibule that I received from my partner, Mas.. Thanks Mas, I love it soooo much...

My Very First Pendibule

I've seen Zalita stitched a pendibule for her partner for the last Needlecrafter Scissors Fob, such a cute one. So when I newly joined another Malaysian based cross stitcher's yahoo group - XstitchesNXchanges, they're in the midst of organising a Pendibule Exchange and I've signed up.



So for those who has visiting my blog b4, this is what the pink and purple thingy that M in love end up. This is my first ever pendibule for my partner, Dania stitched on 28ct lilac linen which I bought from Linda of Stitch N Such. The patern wuz actually a border taken from the Joan Elliot book. My personal advice for stitching a pendibule, is try to look up for pattern meant for border as it much easy to work on.

NC Scissors FOB Exchange

This is the 2nd exchange that I joined this year.. It wuz organised by Needlecrafter Yahoo Groups (NC). This is the scissors FOB that I stitched for Normia. I chose to stitch her initial 'N'. After I have completed the scissors FOB only I realised what I've stitched for Normia are a bit bigger. It looks like a pincushion rather than a scissor FOB.



I received this cute scissors fob from Ila in return.. very cute, rite.. I like it so much.. Thanks Ilaa..
