Been busy with the stitch recently because i afraid i can't complete it before my due....and now it's finally done!! It's a really nice picture after completed...hehe...especially the lotus, make the whole picture look attractive...gonna frame it and find a place to hang... ;-)
I have finally finish stitching the cloth. Look nice, ya?? Will start to stitch the lotus under her feet. I hope i could finish the whole picture before my baby due. Else, i won't have free time doing it anymore when i have to take care of my little girl. ;)
My work after 2 weeks of stitching. The line is really nice right?
Appear just nice to be a colorful coaster.
Starting hubby's zodiac sign, a "Cancerian" he is....
My Zodiac...
How is it??
Should be not bad, ya? ;p
Work done with the Chinese character at the upper right....
Have spent quite sometime stitching the character.
Is the hardest part to stitch i think.
Partly because the character in the chart look odd to me and i decided to outlined it myself using pencil on the cloth.
Right: character in the chart.
Left: character i outlined and stitched.
Compared both, mine looks nicer, rite? ;D
The big leaf is about the total size of 2 small one.....
In my last post (Stitching update : Water Lily #2), i thought i could complete the whole picture by this month end. Who knows, that big leaf have taken me a month. **nearly become weary of it** ;p But the picture i have done so far has give me the power to continue patiently until fully completed. I expect myself to complete it before CNY which hubby keep saying i wouldn't be able to. To prove he is wrong, i will have to work hard! Cheers....... :-)
Ya....i will start knitting again. A scarf for myself this time. A thoughtful friend of mine, bought me this beautiful, colorful yarn as birthday present (Thanks, Hui Sia. This is the earliest present i received).
Hurray, i have completed the scarf!
The color i choose for hubby.
Now that i been stitching almost a month, but i still have 1/2 of the picture to go (another 2 flowers and a big leaf to be completed). I guess will need another 4 weeks to finish the whole picture. But it will depend on the progress.
Nowadays, i found myself hardly stop my hand when i start to stitch. First is because, i just can't wait to see the picture being filled up. Feels great to see the picture getting bigger and nicer. Secondly, when the stitching part getting bigger, it also getting more complicated. So, if i start to stitch, i will stop only when the part of same color is done. Else, if i stop in the middle for other things, i will have to spend sometime checking back the picture chart where i stopped and to continue when i get back, so that i won't follow the wrong line and stitch wrongly.
There are a few times, i was being distracted by the tv and end up i have to undo it. Lucky that each time when i found out, it's only small area which is easy to be undo. *touch wood* So whenever i stitch, i am very concentrate to prevent error. But sometimes, i felt sorry to hubby because i am kind of ignoring him when i stitch. Not purposely, is just i am too concentrate until i don't realized he is talking to me.
Been wondering what else to do during my free time since there isn't any book i am interested with. A friend, Tracy's blog gave me an idea of stitching. She been updating her stitching progress in the blog. So, i thought i may try stitching bigger picture (only stitched small picture and a few key chains before) which will helps to fill up more of my free time.
