Watermelon slice, anyone ?

Since we couldn't go visiting this Chinese New Year, I tatted this watermelon for a colleague during the long holidays.

This is my second time tatting this watermelon, the first was in the tatting class I attended at the local community centre. Pattern was from the teacher :)

Thank you for visiting :)

First post of 2011

Six weeks already and I still have not got over dad's passing. Whenever I go into his room and see his favourite chair the tears start forming :(

Chinese New Year is just one day away and this year is going to be a very sad one for us. We will be at the temple on the fourth day of the new year to offer special prayers.

I am slowly getting back to some cross stitching and tatting. Hopefully they will keep my mind occupied.

I LOVE YOU PAPA. I WILL MISS YOU ALOT.

It has been more than 1 week since my dad passed away and I still can't believe it. I miss him so much but it is comforting that he is in a better place and at peace.

3 more days and I return to work after being off for almost 2 weeks. I need to get back to some routine. It will never be the same but I must carry on.

It's been a long long time

Yes, it's been a long long time and when I blog, it's sad news :(

My father was admitted to hospital this morning in a coma. I'm really lost for words now. Just don't know what to think .....

Cross stitch on hold ...... :)

because I'm busy tatting !!!!

Went back to class for the past few months to learn tatting !

Here are some of the pieces that I tatted in class. Still have lots more to learn :)

I have neglected my blog, no excuses :)

A little update on that finger ...... there's still a little swelling that just wont't go away :( When I try to bend or straighten it, its painful. Gave up on the doctors ! Just letting it slowly slowly heal by itself :)

Haven't been stitching much. All the WIPs are still WIPs :) but I did stitch for two exchanges :)

from me to Darla

So often we read of missing exchanges but I never knew that it will happen to me :( My first pin pillow from Becky's exchange didn't make it here. Brenda (no blog) my partner was very sweet and stitched me a replacement as soon as she knew and this one found it's way here :) I am so lucky !

Can't find pic of the pillow I stitched for my partner Carla. Did I actually took a pic of it before sending it out ? LOL. Anyway will post later when I find it :)

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your kind comments. Happy Stitching.
