I'm back! with some stitching updates!

Hi lovelies

First of all, I would like to say THANK YOU to all of you who left comments and advises in my previous blog post. I deeply appreciated and overwhelmed by your kind words. I am still having a little bit of struggle to gain back my speed but now I feel totally refresh. The feeling of relief when you can share what you feel and have someone lends you listening ears. I also felt like I can finally throw away the heavy stone on my shoulder, the pressure of not being able to stitch as I always do. 

I picked up some small charts and stitched at my own pace, left behind the time factor and all the frustration that I had. All the encouragement from you guys played such an important role in boosting up my eagerness to stitch. So on that night, I started an AAN (Alexandra Adalaide Needleworks) called "Dove Ornament" and kept stitching it until 2 AM (LOL). And yup, I finished it.

Here is the original chart:

Here is my stitching. Instead of using DMC, I used hand dyed silks from Fiberlicious in Silver and Brumbleberry and added some pearls into it because I'm just nosy :-)

I also had another finish from AAN, an out of print that I forgot the name (sorry! i gave away the chart to my friend so I can't find the name anywhere :-( ) Again I also changed all the suggested colors to Fiberlicious silks.

And a small one from Aury TM Design called Deja Brew. I changed the WDW to Fiberlicous's Woodland vines in cotton

So while I'm on a roll (shhh) I also started a few more:

SK Effect of Caffein by Spangler - HAED

An silhouette chart from Broderie

Singing in the rain (Gecko Rouge)

and last but not least

Daisy and Ladybug, a blackwork pattern from Ajisai Press

I also have a bit small haul here and there but let me leave it to the next post. I stitch so much slower recently but I don't feel the pressure anymore. I am learning to take it easy and enjoy every moment that I have. As you guys said, it's a hobby in the end <3

Much love!
