I'm back! LOL

Hi folks
Many apologies for lack of updates on this blog. I have been through many things since but today I woke up and realized how much I miss blogging and reading you guys' beautiful notes about your stitching experiences. I must make a come back! LOL

So you guys might question what I have been doing since my last post. Well, apart from tiny bit of busy working schedule, I did manage to get some small stitching done ^_^

First up it's "In this house" by Love Thy Thread Designs. It's like a small sampler, stitched on 32 count Jobelan "Cool Moss" by Sunny Dyes. I used hand dyed flosses and silks from Thread Pickerz and Fiberlicious (my flosses lol)

Then another one also from Love Thy Thread, a freebie that you can get with every purchase on there website. I stitched on 28 count Opal Lugana "Cotton Candy" by Hand dyed by Stephanie, using "Dreamy Dusk" thread from Fiberlicious blended with Petite Treasure Braid "Sparkles" from Rainbow Gallery. I stamped the fairy on the fabric to personalize, cause I'm just nosy :-p

I made another new start "Autumn Fairy" by LTT from the Ezine Autumn issue. Stitched on 28 count Opal Lugana "Fairies' Roses" by Sunny Dyes.

Here how she should look like when finished

And when I was trying to get her finished, one of my friend introduced me to Passionate Riccamo and I was like crazy when I saw this fairy, and yep I bought it @@ Is she adorable???

Do you guys think I should start stitching her???
I think I'm crazy! I have so many wips XD

Have a lovely weekend!

Autumn SAL August 15

Hi peeps

How is the weather at your place? I wonder if I'm the only one in the mid of August still sweating when the air-con is ON! The weather in my place is getting super weird. Now I feel the song "Hot and Cold" by Kate Perry more than ever!!! oh no maybe "Cruel Summer" LOL

OK, so after a super busy but fun week of testing all the dyes and stuffs, my time for stitching drops dramatically. And I feel that I had more fun dying than stitching! But hey, I use that hand dyed flosses for stitching anyway LOL. Here is my Autumn by the way

Did I tell you I had a finish of another project???

Squeeeeal "Blue Bell" by Sheena Pike (Love Thy Thread Designs)

I'm thinking of sewing it into a throw pillow! Any suggestion????

My hand dyed fibers!!!!!

Hi guys

I am so happy that after a long while testing, I came up with some of these beauties. Hubby go scared seeing me wearing mask and gloves walking around like a professional chemist LOL. Here is the sneak peak of my hand dyed fibers!

These are hand dyed  six strands cotton flosses 10 yards long! (about 1.3 yards longer than normal DMC). I started a group called FIBERLICIOUS today on Facebook so if you have time, please make a visit! I'll be extremely happy welcome you <3. First order will get 20% off total purchase!

Yahoo! Come back to my lab! :-p

Happy stitching guys

Autumn SAL July post

Hi peeps

It's getting so much hotter here in the state. In this season, people here are crazy about BBQ and camping. I don't. I'd rather stay at home with my air-con on. Or I will be melted. I know I can fry an egg on the road right now with this freaking temperature so why should I fry myself out there! How is the weather at your side?

I also blame the hot weather for my slow progress in stitching. I don't feel like doing anything! Yeah, singing Bruno Mars' Lazy Song!!!

Don't be mad at me if I don't have much progress to show, only half a page done hehe

Na na na na I dont feel like picking up my needles cause today I swear I am not doing anything...Nothing at all whoo whoo LMAO

Have fun! And don't forget to check out Pull the other thread blog for her progress this month!

Updates on my current WIPS and new starts (Love Thy Thread and Color Cascade)

Hi folks

It has been a while since my last updates. I thought I should have something extraordinary to show you guys but I dit not catch up with the original plan I have in mind. Family matters, personal matters, life and etc. I also realized that I caved in too many new starts recently which make my progress look slower than it should be. Though how much I want to take it positively, I still feel incredibly guilty for not touching some of them for a long long time. I must learn how to deal with it or I seriously will end up stare at them and sigh instead of stitching.

OK, now it's picture time!

As you might know, I and Alicia aka Crafty Princess are SAL-ing a chart from Tilton Crafts called "World" by Heffernan. Please look through her blog as well to see how insanely she has done. Mine is pathetic LOL. I started from the middle so here is the first row of that page.

To get an idea of how it looks like when it finished, here is the original art

My progress on Magic Fire by Esmira (Paine Free Crafts)
 about more than 7,000 stitches done. I did not count LOL

Next is Dunlee Darnum by JB Monge (Tilton Crafts) 1,600 stitches perhaps

Sullenly Sweet by Sheena Pike (Love Thy Thread) not count how much i've done lol

New start: Roses are red by Sheena Pike (Love Thy Thread) I've mentioned about this in my previous post.

New start Dead Hearts by Logan Knight (Color Cascade Designs)

Original Art:

My stitching: First page DONE. This is such an incredibly detailed chart with heavy confetti alert. However, the result you get is very worth it.

New start: Guardian of Koi by Sabine Rich (Love Thy Thread) on 28 count Opal Lugana in Sweet Child O'mine hand dyed Fabby by Color Cascade Fabric.

Hope you guys enjoy and having a good time here in my blog. Leave a comment and see you next time!

A pathetic update on Autumn SAL

Hi folks

Yes the title says it all. I am literally hanging in shame. There are only about 2,100 stitches done this month on "Autumn". I hardly can explain why I only stitched it last night T.T.  I think I'm pretty far behind Pull the other thread Lol. I keep being distracted by new starts and there you go a sinful serial starters.
