My Garden is finally finished....
I managed to finish this piece over the weekend...sorry gambar senget sikit! It was a lot of fun stitching this esp with all the specialty stitches.

They have come up with another SAL, it's 24 parts this time. I've downloaded the parts but don't know when I'll start!!

It's finally complete!!!

I finished this yesterday... It took me longer than expected to finish this cos actually it's quite a small piece (158h x 81w) but it's finally done! The next step is to get it framed.....

Tatting
Hello and salam semua...Lama sungguh tak update blog kan. Haven't been doing much, entahlah sekarang ni tengah case Ultra Malas!!

Sambil2 layan angin malas tu buat jugak tatting. Pilih design simple2 so that it's not too taxing on my brain ...hehe!

This is the first piece. Pattern ni from Sis Faizon. I plan to make it into a table runner. Still a long, long way to go.



This next piece is a doily that i started last year, lepas tu letak tepi and then I finally completed it. It's called The Miracle but as you can see it doesn't lay down flat. I read that kena buat blocking but with my malas mood I don't know when I will try it!



Anyway, thanks for dropping by. Don't know when the next update will be and yes Salmi I still have your tag to do!

Jom kita makan
Yesterday buat dinner rolls cos nak makan home made burger for lunch. I used the recipe given by Noxxa. Well the burger is home made but not made by me! Ada cheese kat dalam...sedap. So this is the dinner rolls bila dah keluar dari oven. And the pic below is with the burger and fries...yum yum...


Tiba-tiba lepas makan ada pulak orang nak order chocolate cake for today. So kira yesterday me sibuk sikit kat dapur! Bubuh sprinkles aje on top cos me tak pandai nak hias cantik-cantik.


Ni pulak gambar cupcakes that my daughter buat. Maklumlah sekarang ni dia duk kat rumah kenalah cari something for her to do. Cupcakes ni ikut recipe carrot cake that I normally make. And of course the delicious cream cheese topping. I think lagi senang buat macam ni, cos bila nak makan ambik aje no need to potong-potong. Tak payah basuh pisau so can save water.....

My Garden....
Hello and Salam semua.....

Lama sungguh tak update blog kan. Well nothing much to show and I haven't been in the stitching mood lately.

Anyway all I have to show is How My Garden Grows, Parts 9 & 10. Actually dah lama dah snap photo tapi malas nak upload kat sini!!! The final parts ie part 11 & 12 dah ada but I haven't started on it yet. Maybe next year hehe....


This next pic is up to part 8. For this sampler, we were asked to choose 2 greens, one darker and one lighter. For the lighter green I decided to use DMC variation, tapi from the beginning I didn't like the color I choose but I still used it hoping that it would grow on me. Tapi after many, many months I still didn't like it and it kinda spoiled the sampler for me. So masa buat part 10, I decided to unpick all the lighter green and replace it with another color. And finally I can say that I am truly satisfied with it! Maybe kat sini the color change is not so obvious but if u look carefully at the leaves on the sides of the sampler you can see the difference!


So I just put in this older picture so that you can see the before and after floss change! I know it's a bit dumb to wait so long baru nak tukar the color tapi when I thought of all the unpicking I was put off. But then after all the work that has been put in it, I might as well be totally satisfied with it right?

I'm on a roll.....
Yup...I made another needleroll! Berangan betul baru buat 2 dah on a roll....






At first I wanted to do hemstitch for the edging but then I decided to go the safe way and stick to
Blanket Stitch or is it called Button Stitch?
This is also a freebie, it's called Stitching Days. I completed this a couple of weeks ago but malas nak update kat sini!
Thanks to Alyaa, who took time off from her studying to choose the colors for me...hehe
