♥♥♥♥♥♥ 15 Boxes of Chocolates

Hey stitchers,

Hope everything's well with you and your family. I'm doin' good, although I'm not blogging as often as before, please know I'm still active in stitching and designing.

Before anything else, allow me to greet each and everyone of you.......

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!!




On Her Flower Garden SAL side, the result I received was overwhelming. I am over the moon to know everyone who participated had a great time. I have been receiving comments/emails asking to join, I'm really sorry but it's OVER.

As you may have noticed, I am now selling it in my shop, so I'm asking everyone who has the charts, it's for your own personal use only, please do not sell or distribute it in any form. Keeping it for yourself and not distributing it, is your way of thanking and supporting me. You all know cross stitch is my passion, designing as well. It is not easy to design, it takes time, effort and talent. So please be kind and considerate enough & support me on this. Your support will definitely keep me going.

As I've mentioned in my previous post, I have been burning oil designing our next SAL. Life gets in the way, most of the time, but no worries, we will have it. Tentative date will be in June 2011.

For those wondering what it is...ok, without further ado.... it's a stitcher's wallet. It's going to be a combination of cross stitch and specialty stitch, with step by step instruction (of course, I will not let you walk in pitch black). So get your needles, threads and fabrics ready. It's not anytime soon I know, lol, but this will give you time to manage your stitchery plans for next year.

Will show you next year a photo of this SAL, I called "Mine for Keeps". So 'til next year. Happy stitching!!!!!


All the best,

♥♥♥♥♥♥ 8 Boxes of Chocolates

It's been a while since my last post. Hope everyone's doing well and good. I'm doin' great. I think I'm back to cross stitch world again.

Just a short note, 9 more stitchers joined in ABoC SAL "Her Flower Garden". Charts were already emailed, hope you all got it. Let me know otherwise.

This is to inform everyone that "Her Flower Garden" SAL is over. I will no longer accept participants. If you want the charts, it will be offered in Jardin de Joy soon for a reasonable price. I hope you understand.

Thank you to all who participated in this SAL. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Until next year, probably another round of SAL. Photo gallery is updated, do check it out.

This one is by Rosemarie, lovely finish. She stitched it vertically, 3 X 2, isn't it great? Thanks Rosemarie for the photo.






Here's a photo which Wilma sent me. She stitched the 2009 Christmas Freebies, Noel and Let it Snow on 28ct Monaco with DMC threads and finished it off as humbugs. I thought it's very nice, great idea! I love it! Thanks Wilma for sharing this lovely pic with us.



Have fun stitching. TFL.

All the best,
