PIF for Theresa

This is the design i had chosen specially stitched for Theresa for my PIF which she signed up. Theresa likes Lizzie Kate designs and love tea, wouldnt it be wonderful to combine these two into stitches.

I have chosen a matching dark brown frame to go along with this finish. It matches & highlighted the wordings.

To add touches to my finish, i also added linen lace as border.

Other than my frame piece, i included a piece of fabric which i dyed it for her. Hope she likes the colour and can make good use of it. Lace & buttons for her to add touches to her beautiful work too.

Will be working on my next two PIF. It's nice to stitch for someone, looking forward for a new start...

SAL and new start

A little progress so far...



Something for my teaset-stitching collection & to display in my kitchen...



The place where i spend my time baking and cooking...

~My Kitchen~

Anyone having this problem too?

Lately whenever i log on to my blog, it always pop up this message:" Internet explorer cannot open the internet site. Operation aborted". It happens to some other blogs too.

Wondering is this due to BLOGGER side and some of you are facing the same thing too?

Please share with me what i can do meanwhile.

You may not be able to leave your comment, please email me yiandjun@gmail.com

My eldest son, Yi secretly brought presents & nicely wrapped up for me when we were out.




Drawings from my second son, Jun. He also gave me a red packet with money inside and asked me to go shop for something i like. So sweet of him!




Wishing all a Happy Mother's Day!

Christmas in town SAL - part 3

Christmas in town sal with Joei is progressing as i stitch towards the right side of the design.
I intend to stitch more falling snow after i completed to make it more winter-like. I love snow! Unfortunately, our only season here hot & humid!



Beautiful & romantic street lamp along the shops...
With falling snow, isn't it romantic to walk in such a street. Oh...i'm dreamy again!

Permin Christmas in Town SAL - part1

My Permin Christmas SAL started 2 weeks ago with my friends, Joei and Yvonne.
I really enjoy stitching this piece. It's very christmassy and colourful, romantic too! These shop houses reminds me of the cosy street of UK which i love to revisit one day...



I have stitched almost one shop house so far already. This hand-dyed fabric was a birthday gift from Joei. I love the blue-dye which represents the beautiful sky. Joei has beautiful collection of hand-dyed fabric on her blog-shop Jardin de Joy.



I have been very busy past week as my helper went back home and will only be back 2 weeks later. The other day, i left my cross-stitch work on the sofa, just when i came back shortly, see what my little boy is playing with...



little stitcher? Like mother like son?! lol...
