My New Blog!

So, I finally decided to make a new blog, dedicated for my cross stitch works only.  My blog's name is Cross Stitch and I.

Because it's still new, there aren't many post, just 3.  I think it's enough.  I decided to post it now, remembering tomorrow I'll be gone to Bali.

Please take a look at my new blog :D hopefully next time I'll have many things to post.

Before we part, this is the latest of my work that I already finish it.  Another one from Precious Moments, for my cousin's wedding.

The World of Cross Stitch

The reason I posted my last post was to tell about this blog I stumble upon few days ago.  I feel a little stupid for not realising it sooner. 

So my world is full of cross stitch right now.  And few days ago, while doing my project on Stolen, I realize that there's one thread that I don't know where to look for it.  Just like everything I do nowadays, I search it on internet.  Found a forum and read the some of the thread on the forum and I found my answer.  So happy.

Next thing I know, I clicked on some blog address and clicked another one Pull The Other Thread, after read some of her posts, I commented on her post and ask a question, which she replied right away.  Then, she told me about craft abbreviations and definitions that she posted on her blog.  OMG! It feels like my world is open up hahaha....and like always, one link lead to another to another to another, and my world opened up more.

So now I'm thinking about making a new blog about my cross stitch.  Thinking about joining all the SAL or TUSAL or anything that is fun hahahaha...

Let see if I follow it up.  

Me & Cross Stitch

 

For the last couple of years, I spent my days and night with cross stitch.  Since I know that I don't have the ability to knit or crochet, I decided to learn how to cross-stitch and found it easier to do than the other handcraft.  And so it began, my journey to cross stitch.

At the beginning, I started with small projects.  And I have to say, my sister did it better than I did.  She's the one who told me that I have to stitch it neatly and do the cross in one way; if you start from left to right, then do every stitch from left to right.  I never thought of doing it that way, but since that, and after that I read lots of 'how to cross stitch', I always do that.

It's been years after my first lesson (more than 10 years I think), and I still in love with it.  And still think myself as a novice hahaha...well maybe not a novice but certainly not an expert.

I still prefer to do simple projects, like Precious Moments pattern.  I did lots of PM projects.  I don't know if PM is under category of simple project or not, but for me it's quite simple.  

Or pattern that using full cross stitch and you just play with colours to make it more exciting

Even so, I must say that I really love to be able to show a project that is not so simple   (to bad, the picture below is not for me :D.  I did it, but its on commision, so it won't be hang on my wall)

 

Since my sister is quite a provocator, she 'challege' me to do a complete set of Celtic Designs season: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn.  I don't know if she also want the Celtic Christmas or not.  Hieh...my sister everybody!

The truth is...I really love to do it hahaha...just let see if I have the time.  Because at the moment, I have two on going projects, and they're on commision so I HAD to finish it as soon as possible, one HAED projects (its for my own), and maybe some other little projects. 

So...just hope that my commision project will finish soon and then I can do new project.  Yeay!!
