Anniversary Present for Zhaf & Ali
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)
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...
