WIP ~ "The Shahadah"

My sis (Ida) ordered another cross-stitch from me.
This time it's an "Islamic Calligraphy" ~ "The Shahadah".
 
She wanted to give it for a wedding present for her hubby's cousin.
I was supposed to finish it up last Saturday (7th Dec),
but I didn't make it to that deadline.
 
Luckily, she said that she can give the present later.
Maybe after she delivers. Yup, my sis is also
pregnant and she is due next Jan 2014.
 
I hope to finish this by end of this month. 
 


Lots of xoxo,
Fara


November updates

Yuuhuuu!! WOW! It's the month of December now.
Just a few more days and we are off to 2014!!
 
How time flies. Sorry for the long hiatus.. many things have
occurred during November. Some good and some bad ones.
 
 
#1 ~ It was my company's trip. Off we all went to the
LOST WORLD OF TAMBUN in Perak.
The kids had the time of their life..
swimming in the man-made pool, and waves and slides.
And also the hot springs pool.. uuuu how relaxing.
 
And the highlight of the day was the lucky draw.
I WON big time!!
 
I got the Sony NEX-3 camera & Sony 42inch TV!!
 

 
 

 
 
 
#2 ~ Someone broke-into our house.
Eeek!! I woke in the middle of the night at 2.50am,
and saw someone was in my room!!
OMG! I was screaming at him and he quickly took my handbag.
 
My hubby however was working late and I was left alone
with the kids. Can you imagine my terror!!
Luckily he didn't harm us, I quickly called my hubby to come home.
Police came with the security guarding our area, but the culprit wasn't
caught however!!
 
I went to stay with my in-laws for 2 weeks after that.
Trauma trauma trauma!!
 
 
#3 ~ Kids were sick, so was I.
The kids were sick one after the other! Oh my!
Tonsilitis, cough, flu and high fever!
But after they were all right, I was next!
And it hit me real hard, I had the sinus and my head was pounding like mad!
It wasn't easy being sick and pregnant at the same time.. believe me.

Oh, sadly to say that I Gave up on finishing my Home#2.
Due to all the things happen, I just don't have the mood
to join in the competition. However,
I will take my time to finish it up and put it in my house.
Sigh!! Good luck to those who enters.

 
#4 ~ My 3rd son graduation.
Aleem finally graduated from pre-school.
Yay!!
Will need to get the photos from my hubby.



Hope everyone had a wonderful time stitching.
Till then,

Fara

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
