Anniversary Present for Zhaf & Ali

Posted in Labels: 4:21 PM
I totally forgot about this one! I don't even have a good photo of it! Hopefully after Zhaf framed it, she can share a nice photo with me ;)



It took me months to complete this one! I didn't even have time to frame it. But since their anniversary is coming up, I hope they don't mind ;)

Zhaf and Ali had their wedding in Tawau, Sabah last year. That was the first time I've ever been to Sabah and it was a wonderful trip!

Gerberas by DMC (Progress #3)

Posted in Labels: 8:11 AM
It's early June and I've completed a quarter of my project. This means I'm wayyyy behind schedule :( I completed a quarter in a month, means I can complete the whole project in another 2-3 months!! Oh well, I think I should stick to smaller projects next time...


The special thing about this project is that this is the first time I used 3 strands instead of 2 strands for the whole stitch. For the half stitch, I used 2 strands. I used 3 strands because the lady from Haby & Wools at Ampang Park said that the end result will look better. However, when Awin and Aishah went to my house several weeks back, we compared the difference between using 2, 3 and 4 strands (Awin used 4 strands for her Minnie Mouse Kit project). Honestly, it's not that different! Owh, we're using 14-count Aida for our projects.

But looking at the work closely, I guess using 3 strands makes the picture look "fuller" somewhat...

Cross Stitch Basics

Posted in Labels: 8:31 PM
If you want to learn how to cross stitch, you can start by downloading this document:

Cross Stitch Basic Guide

It introduces the basics of cross stitching, including the things you need, and how to begin and end your stitch. It's pretty awesome, but nothing beats trying it yourself! ;)

Here's a photo of the project that I've been working on. It's been slow because I've been busy lately. So most probably I won't be able to finish it by the end of next month :( We'll see how it goes...

Shazuin's Minnie Mouse Kit

Posted in Labels: 5:32 PM
Awin tried her hands on cross stitching when she came to my house a few months ago. She helped me with my New York Silhouette project, which is a simple project using only one color (black) against beige Aida. She liked it so much that I decided to present her with a Minnie Mouse Cross Stitch Kit for her birthday!

Here are some of her progress:

Okay, you can't see any shape yet...


Owh, it's a bow!


I see a face without eyes...


Eyes! Pretty eyes!!


Almost finished now...

Oh well, that's her progress so far. She's too busy to complete the whole thing for now. But not bad rite? ;)

Hydrangea

Posted in Labels: 12:36 PM
Now this is one of my favorites! I love it because of the vivid colors. It probably would look better with black Aida, but I haven't tried that yet ;) I downloaded the free chart at CrossStitcher website.

In My Collections

Posted in Labels: 7:41 PM
This is partially my collections of finished projects, magazines, threads, and other cross stitching tools. The rest are all over the house, I need some time to track them down. I've started this hobby since 2 years ago so that's the reason for the somewhat huge collection ;)


My threads are all from DMC. I keep some of them in a tool box, some in clear folders, and threads for specific projects I keep them in a separate box. Obviously, I haven't decided on the best method to keep my hundreds of threads :)

Wedding Present for my Best Bud

Posted in Labels: 7:28 PM
This is a project that I completed in 2 weeks only! It was meant as a wedding gift for my best friend Jihan's wedding last month. However, the framing took forever so I haven't gotten the chance to present the gift to the blushing bride. I hope she likes it!


This is a close up of the border; I did it in 5 colors, which I think is pretty ;)

Currently, I'm working on a project for a friend of mine. She chose this pattern because she wanted to match the yellow with her living room theme. I'm estimating that I will finish this project before the end of next month ;)

About Me

Posted in 8:49 PM
I'm a young lady with an old lady hobby. Well, that is people's perception, that cross stitching is an old lady's hobby. Whatever they say, I don't care! Because I simply LOVE cross stitching :D

This blog is for all my handwork. Some of them are from my personal collections, some are gifts for my friends, and some are for sale.

Have fun exploring :)
