Cute Couple Bear ~ Finished!!

Wow!! We are now in the month of November!!

 

I've been busy stitching and finishing

the Cute Couple Bear before the deadline.. which is today!!

 

Yup, I finally finished it today!!

My sis Ida's friend wedding is this Sunday (10th Nov 2013).

 

So, she have less than 2 days to find a nice frame to put my cross-stitch in.

 

 

I thought that I could finished it earlier, but the back-stitch were

a lot!! But all in all, the piece looks good.

 

 

Here's the finished outcome :

IHSW Oct'13

It was IHSW Oct'13 last week (18th - 20th Oct).

 

I managed to do some stitching in between of doing

laundry, sending the kids to their piano class,

cleaning the house and etc etc...

 

 

I stitched up another 3 little monster on the bib.

Little baby is still in mum's (Adah) tummy, we are all

waiting for him to come out soon.

 

 

 

I am also waiting for the name of the baby, then I can stitched

up his name on the bib.

 

 

Also, I have received an order from my lil sis Ida.

She wanted me to stitch a wedding gift for her friend.

Actually she wanted me to stitched 2 loving couple cats,

but I can't find any charts with cats but bears instead.

 

My lovely fb friend Huey, have given me the chart and

I am in the midst of stitching it.

Dateline is on the 1st week of Nov. Yikes!!

 

 

 

As for my Home#2 ?? No progress so far.

I am still at the 2nd page, still stuck at the teacup.

There are too many whites, and I got fed up stitching it.

I think I need a breather from it.

Have to gear up on my momentum back to finish it. ;p

The dateline have been postponed to the end of Dec.

 

 

Well, hope all of you had a great IHSW this month.

 

Regards,

Fara

Stitching Baby's Gear

This year a baby boy would be

coming to the world.

Oh it's not mine, but my SIL "Adah".

It's her 1st baby and clock is ticking anytime soon.

 

 

I wanted to give her something special for the baby.

A stitched "something" would be nice.

I saw a few stitched bib/ burp cloth in some blogs and in facebook.

I wanted to do the same but can't find where to buy the bibs.

 

 

Eventually, I contacted my fb friend "Huey" as she had stitched one before.

She gladly gave me one of the bibs from her stash.

Yay!! So, the package came last Saturday, and to my

delight she also enclosed a pink 25ct aida cloth.

Oh how darling Huey is. Thanks Huey!!

 

 

A blue bib with 14ct aida cloth.

A very Pink 25ct aida cloth.

 

I started browsing some designs on baby boys charts to stitched on the bib.

But all looks so babyish. I wanted something funny and cute.

 

So I decided to stitched these little funny looking monsters instead.
It reminds me of Cookie Monster from Sesame Streets. Haha...

The 1st Little Monster that I have stitched so far..

Will update soon on the final product.

Happy stitching,

Birthdays & Art Expo 2013

On the 11th Sept was my birthday and my little boy "Hashim".

 



 

Hashim is 2 years old while I'm 35..(oho mid thirties..).

I didn't make any party this year..(blame it on the morning sickness)..
:p

But only had a small celebration with my family and dining outside at
Bubba Gump. A restaurant name after the movie "Forrest Gump".

 

 

On the 22nd Sept, my hubby brought us to Matrade in Kuala Lumpur for
the Art Expo 2013 exhibition.
Paintings, sculptures and arts items are displayed there
from various part of the countries.

My hubby's artwork was also displayed there:

 

 

The kids had fun mimicking some of the paintings there:
Hahahaha....

Hope you guys had a great weekend last week. :)

Hugs,
Fara
 



Sept IHSW & Home#2 Update

Well well well...

 

It's been a long silence from me here.. well almost a month

I can say.

The morning sickness this time really kicked

hard on me.. I was having bad flu, and nausea and vomiting..

Had to keep away from cross stitching too as my head was pounding

and I had no mood to even look at charts and threads.

Oooo..pity me :P

 

But now I'm feeling better!! Yeay!!

And I can continue with my Home#2 DMC cross stitch.

 

 

I had started off from here for this month's IHSW :-

 

 

 

 

And here is my progress so far :

 

 

 

Part 2 of 4 is almost finished!!



Hope everyone had a good IHSW this month.

Love,
Fara
