TISHA'S COLOURS

Something is not going right here. It seems that the colour doesn't really match with the original picture.It's even a little smaller than Yona's.

IT'S DONE

Well it's finally completed and ready for framing.
Filling in the last stitches ( the hair part) took me such a long time. There was no more excitments in stitching when the 'picture' is already 'seen'.
Anyhow.... I still have to do Tisha's, which infact I have started last night.
We'll see how long this one will take me.

AT LAST I FOUND IT!

Ha ha ha.... I'm laughing because I have found it at last. Yup... I have managed to get hold of a programmee for converting pictures to cross stitch patterns. It's a fifteen day free trial period too.
Cheapskate me (he he..) spent three days converting photos of the girls and of whatever pictures I want to sew... i.e. in due time. I would have spent more days doing it but my holiday trip was due.
In the 'excitement' of the projects, I ended up bringing one of them on the trip. A good idea too as it turned out I managed to almost complete two of its four parts.
I was seen cross stitching everywhere...at the airport, in the plane and in hotel's lobbies . I would have done it in the bus too if it wasn't so bumpy.( I tried but gotten so dizzy that I gave up the idea)
See what I've done so far...


Hhmm..... I think I will need to change the thread on her teeth..... she's complaing its not as in the picture

ALSO DONE WITH


My latest completed cross stitch.


This pattern is actually very small but I have changed the size to get a bigger picture


The original pattern was only the kangaroo and wordings...sunflowers were my idea


Ah... look at that end product. ( and look at those tired eyes.... eehhhhhh)

DONE WITH






I completed this cross stitch months ago. It also took me months to complete. I found out that I took photos of it as I was completing it in my phone. Yesterday I managed to download all the photos from the phone into the pc. I feel that it should be view here as I am definately sure I will never go through this pattern again.

NEW PATTERNS

Ah.... mine after some 'tough' (*&?#$%@:"&^%) bidding
This is the chart that I'm currently bidding on.
I listed the name of this blog as cross stitch because that tops my list of crafting.
Today I just bid on another pattern on ebay... hhmm... its going to cost me should the seller refuse to combine shipping. I have already won one of her earlier list. British pounds! ahhhh... the pattern itself is cheap. Its the postage that gives the 'pinch'.

NEW CROCHET IDEAS











I have been browsing through ebay for new cross stitch sunflower patterns and newcraft projects all afternoon. Nothing worth buying at the moment but I did save up few promising project thats worth looking.

These are crochet pattern for an interesting pouch , a doll's outfit and two pot holders. Looks very easy to do but would still need the time and right mood to start with.

SAMPLES OF UP COMING PROJECTS

These are some of the interesting 'projects' which are planned for the near future. That usually is when the right 'mood' sets in. I have so many of them on my lists but have yet to find the time to carry them out.


I wonder if there are enthusiastic people like myself out there with the same passion .

These are some of the cross stitch patterns that caught my attention on ebay. They are a bit small and too expensive for my 'investment'.


























You'll be surprise with how small this pattern is.























I love this one..... I tried to bid on it but sadly the seller wasn't willing to ship internationally. Anyone with the same pattern?

Cross stitching is one of the many passions in crafts that I have been unable to detach myself from over the years. I'll keep updating what projects I'm currently at also what I've completed.
So , 'see' you later...
