DMC Cross-stitch Competition

I opened my Facebook yesterday and got

a notification from my sis Ida..

"Hey, there's a DMC Cross-stitch competition!! Go and join!"

I was like "OMG. WAAHHHH!"

 

I looked up the link, and my local store Mayfair Handicraft

was selling the kits. Oh my, super excited.
You can look up their Facebook at Maycraft.my.

 

 

The kits are sold at RM69.90 per set including threads,

aida 14ct cloth, 2 needles and chart. You can chose either Home 1 or Home 2.

Closing date is on the 15th Nov 2013.

 

Once finished, just sent it to Mayfair together with the entry form

and they will sent in your entry to DMC for you.

All finished cross-stitch will be return back to you..don't worry.

 

I went yesterday to Mayfair to look at the charts. Both were so beautiful..

more of an English look design and I couldn't decide which one to buy.

Well, in the end I bought both charts. hihi..

If I can't finished it, I guess I can just stitch it for fun. YAY!!

 

I'm trying my luck to enter.. just hope that I have time to stitch..erk.

 

 

Happy Stitching & Good luck,

Fara

 

 

 

 



IHSW June 2013 Update

Here we are again for IHSW

and already halfway thru the year.

Time surely flies.

 

My 1st project I did was for the

"Blogversary Exchange" with my fellow

MSlovers group blog.

I was to sent my finished crosstitch with 4 gifts to Noni

of Stiching Noni from Australia.

 

I can't show my finished project yet until Noni received

my parcel I sent her. I'm planning to sent out

my parcel by this week. Just need to add in some more

gifts to her. Super excited as this is my very first exchange that I have entered.

I will update later on.

 

My 2nd project is the "Superheroes Alphabet".

My last update was until "F ~ Flash".

I stitched "G ~ Green Lantern", "H ~ Hulk" and Ironman.

 

I ran out of the grey thread, that's why I didn't finish the letter "I".

:P

 

 

Looking good so far.

 

It's been super hazy here in Malaysia,

so stay indoors and drink more water.

The more excuse to stitch I perhaps. hihi...

 

Till next post, Happy Stitching.

A Visit to the National Art Gallery & Kite Sightings

My hubby (Ali) brought us to

The National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur

for a surprise..

 

Tadaaa...

 

His painting was placed in

the front lobby of the gallery.

 

Us in front of his painting.. titled : "Festival".


Yesterday, we went Kite Sightings
nearby our area.
There were various types of kites flying.
In this picture, the 2 large ones are Giant Octopus (orange & stripes)..
but I can't make out what is the purple & blue thing.

It was a great time enjoying the kites.
The best part was when there was no wind,
and the kites especially the Giant Octopus fell to the ground.
My kids went running to have a touch of it!! Even Hashim too..
hilarious sight.

Don't they look like a boy band on a cover album? hehehe...



Happy school holidays everyone!!
