My secret door

I have just finished stitching "My Secret Door" pattern. To be honest, I don't even know what the original color was. As usual, this is one of those patterns I downloaded 7 years ago. As years passed, those websites are no longer in service. I did try to recollect the name of the website a few months back but failed - much to my dismay. I have also Googled the relevant keyword for easy searching but still couldn't get the correct url address. Not even close.

Some of you might have seen the pattern somewhere I guess. The chart only is accompanied with color symbols in the legend instead of the number form so I had used my own crazy imagination to come up with the next best thing. If any consolation, I do have retrieved a few of colorful patterns from the website but have a difficulty of uploading it to my blog.

I would love to share the pattern with others but I can't hardly find a place to upload my pdf file. The patterns have been scanned and uploaded it to my webshot album. Feel free to download the pattern for your personal use only.

LOVE WREATH

I just finished stitching my LOVE WREATH pattern. It took me approximately a month to stitch. I love the color very much. It was originally purple (3747-DMC Thread) in color and I changed it to pinkish (956-DMC Thread) in color. To me pink looks more vibrant, alive and has an distinct aura of lovingness mood. Love is in the air. Long story short - it's just a girl thing by the way.

If you happen to also work on this wonderful pattern , why don't you just email your in-progress photo and we can share it with others. To date, I had never seen other color of love wreath rather than pink. It would be great if I have other friends working on the same pattern. For instance, some people may think blue is cool while others might seen red,green,yellow,orange or maybe a combination of two colors have the best looks. I sincerely hope more people will join my blog so that we can have more comments and tips on how to improvise our cross stitching techniques.

Actually, I want to give this chart to all cross stitch lovers out there. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a place where I can upload my pdf file. If someone has come across any solution, please leave a message at my comments box.

Happy Stitching!!!!!
Thank you your time on reading my blog....

Needleroll

This is my first attempt on making something else rather than something I would stitch and frame. When I first started out cross stitching I was rather doing something out of my routine too - as far as hobbies are concerned . Bottom line, I am keen to do something rather than usual stuff. Even though I am not new in cross stitch world, I never had the guts to try my hand on other cutesy stuff like pinkeep, needleroll, bag etc. As long as I can be remember, it has been almost 21 years of I putting my heart and soul into cross stitching. The things I always find myself doing, almost subconsciously, whenever I withdrawn to isolation at times of my numerous personal emotion crunch. It is my zone of retreat - a breakaway from it all.

Most of my pieces are not with me because when I get bored with it, I will sell or give to whoever I deem worthy to have it. To me, I really love cross stitching and the pleasure was the actual journey of starting the stitching till all the pieces are finished. Then you just throw it away.

Here is my progress
