New Magazine

This is Jan & Feb Issue of Cross Stitcher. My heart melted as soon as i saw this 2 magazines. The price stays same that is RM 22.50 each while CS Crazy is crazily expensive at RM 32.00 each. I stop buying magazine last year because i purchased a lot of kit & became very obsessed of the kit since everything is in it & it saves me a lot that i don't have to go looking for the floss shop by shop....

But this is what i get before CNY as a reward to myself for all the hard work in office.....

This is the free gift that comes with the mags...

Cross Stitcher, CS Crazy & The World of Cross Stitching are the magazines i purchase before i take train back to my hometown during the grave cleaning season. I was having fever that day but it just seems to recover when i bought them....hahahahha.....

I also managed to get 2 bottle of nail polish with fantastic blue & gold color.....******

Welcome to Our Roost

This is a design i choose from CS Crazy. Started to stitch this before i move in the new house & aiming to finish this before i move in but its been nearly 2 months that i shifted but this is not yet done. This picture is not the latest progress though.....Haven't got time to snap the latest picture.....Using 11ct of DMC Aida...

Small Pillow

This pillow was given to all staff, a small gift from our vendor, Roche, i  think.

I though why not i patch the flower pot design on it to differentiate it from others, right ?

Royal Guard

I plan to stitch this to my youngest nephew, Wayne....

I switched to this when i was bored with the Home Sweet Home design...

& of course now, it is left behind as i continue with Home Sweet Home...

This is actually a free gift from Cross Stitcher magazine.

Home Sweet Home

This is the kit my sister requested me to stitch for her.

I started my work on it in early Nov 2012 & aim to finish it by Chinese New Year so that i can frame it and bring home for her to hang it especially for the coming festival.

The biggest character in the center of the design carrying meaning of house and is pronounce as

"Jia" in mandarin. 

Now, you can have a look of the progress...Oh, forgot to mention that the biggest character was not fully cross-stitched yet as i just half-stitched it first. Maybe i'll do the other half once i'm done with others.....

The above picture shown the latest progress where i was stitching the sea water.

Building up the house.......Then stitching the small "jia" character in red.

While this shows the progress of canoe & the chinese word "Jia" which means house.

The beginning....where i choose to stitch the ground and small chinese wording.

Progress of Handphone Accessories

After being put aside for a few month, i suddenly found it in my stash while i was tidying my house before my family come to visit.

I bring it to office & used my lunch time to stitch.

Now, it's still in office....

Will snap a photo of it (when i remember laa, of course).....

4 Seasons After Washing & Neatly Pressed

Tadaaaa........Finally all 4 was done.....
I finished the last piece that is winter in early November 2012, but was busy to upload it.
Was thinking what kind of frame to use and how to frame it...whether 4 in a row or using 4 separate frame...
I think this design is best hang at staircase wall.
Well, what do you think dearies?
