Miss my cross stitch a lot.....

Lately my company is under management restructuring, former boss is selling the company to others. So as the accountant & admin & multitasking worker of the company, i got so many paper & thinking to do.
Both side of new & former boss ask me to join their new company...but i dont even have time to think for myself, a lot of paper work is waiting for me ahead. It might take 3 months time to settle. Only wish that i can done all this asap so that i can spend more time with my family & doing my cross stitch for hours until my stitching hand is tired.
Dear god, please give me strenght to go through this.

Cute Caravan & others

Charts from Cross Sticher. I've used the same shade given in the mags but it just looks different from the mags. Mine looks a bit "retro" while the one in mags looks more brighter.

The bicycle follows....i love the colors.very vibrating. A lot of back stitch needed to live up this picture. Will do the back stitch after i've done with the blocks.
