A bad bad week with stitching and lost floss package

I have been struggling on making progress with DCD. While stitching page 10, I realized that I gridded wrongly and as a matter of fact, I have to frog and frog. Oh I can't tell how much i hate frogging. It really make me feel less interested in stitching this. So I gave it a good wash and gridded again.

Another bad thing come to me is the post office lost my floss package worth nearly 100 bucks. And they claimed that they delivered it 3 days ago! oh what a shame for them cause I have been staying at home the whole day and received nothing. Should I expect to receive my stuff back? Maybe not... what a bad week. Sigh


For those who are curious what kind of pen I used to grid my fabric:


To wash, I mixed a small amount of shampoo with luke warm water, let the fabric absorb and the color will be gone within 1 hour.

'Autumn' SAL 6th post: You'll see more roots and fire!

Stitching 'Autumn' is not an easy job. Probably the most complicated piece I've ever put my hands on. But I hope it does pay off. I can see every single root appears with all the lights. I feel like I can nearly touch it. Another page finished and my journey still continues.



And as a matter of fact, I decided to buy a cone of 3371. Best thing I've ever done :D



Hope you guys enjoy and don't forget to visit Pull the other thread blog to see more!

Yo' guys are wondering what am I up to? New start and Updates

Hi folks

I have been disappeared for a while. You know it's hard to keep your blog updated when your stitching mojo went for vacation! Hang on, summer is over. it's autumn, you've gotta come back to me LOL.

So as you might know, I have several of W.I.P now but not all of them get my hands on it all the time. I know it's a shame but people's taste change and I know I can't focus on it if I find no interest. So in the mean time, I focus on what interested me most: my SAL 'Autumn' with Pull the other thread, Dandelion Clock Dance and my brand new start: "Ryo" by Haruyo Morita.

Here you go the picture and the link to HAED website:



This has been chosen as my new start thanks to some of my fellow stitchers on Official fan page of HAED on Facebook. They said I should give it a go, and here it is, my first page done:


And I am glad I did make this start cause the color changing is amazing. You might not see it vividly here due to the quality of the picture. Please STITCH it to FEEL it. And I am loving it.

To the very last note of this post, here is my little current progress on DCD:



And I will see you soon in the next post to tell you about the updates of 'Autumn'. Please come back on 15th!

xoxo
