Full of BS and gold thread made me almost crazy, lol...
It was the first time for me to use gold thread, but as I've heard of it, it's really hard to stitch!
Uhh, there are many designs left which is used gold threads... sigh.

Look at this beautiful work and colours!
I'm sorry I couldn't take photos of them nicely, but in the real life, it's absolutely beautiful indeed!

And again, look at this beautiful and wounderful micro stitch!
She has done "tent stitch" which I don't even know how to do it yet, lol, but it's just wounderful!
(Please see some beautiful photos of this scissor fob @ Su's blog, lol)

She added a very beautiful scissor as well, I also wanted to buy a sharp scissor, so I'm really happy x 2! , actually x 1000000000000, LOL

She thought and thought again what to make for my Birthday, and made such lovely things for me.
She knows that I'm doing many stitching at the same time, so she thought that I must need lots of needles, so this "Needle Park" has came up into her mind, I heard.
She might be very busy, but she spent her private time for me...

Thank you so much littlehands, indeed!
And "Pink" has just hit my heart! (lol)

Here is "marie claire idees" from France, there is also some kind of stitches other than cross stitch on it. I like this series of "marie claire idees", this is also a very nice book indeed!

Here is a cross stitch magazine from Italy for children.
There are so many designs for children, there are also some knitting designs on it.
They all are very colourful and I thought it's really Italian-like!

And another present is "Lisa & Gaspar" (I don't know how to spell correctly...) dolls, (lol).
He might believe that I still like this kind of dolls like a little girl, LOL!
But thank you, hubbie!
They all are really wonderful and I like all of them a lot!!

There were very beautiful stitched card and a really curios red box in there!
She stitched the "Thank You!" card by herself, it was so beautifully stitched, and I was touched her letter very much.


In the red box, there was really beautiful Biscornu which she stitched for me, and also she dyed the fabric with tea (18ct Aida)!
This is so beautifl, isn't it?! I was really impressedI have never done any Biscornu yet, but I was really interested in stiching Biscornu, so this perfect Biscornu will be my model!
Her stitch is so beautiful, I have to learn by imitating her beautiful stitching!

Actually, I don't deserve this at all, to receive such lovely gift from her...
Well, she has sked me to translate some Japanese charts (Fujico Collection) into English, if it does OK with me, for a long time ago. It was a really polite message, but actually I hesitated a bit to translate them beause my English ability is not good enough to transltate them at all, I thought...
So I told her so and then promised it but only the key parts (like, 2 strands, etc..).


After I've received the charts, unfortunatelly I was quite busy, in the day time everyday I had to chasing around my son, and at night there were some exchanges etc... so I had to stitch...
I knew I had to her translate, but it took 3 months from her order to I've sent it outI kept her waiting for 3 months, I really should apologize her, but whenever I mailed her, she was very kind to me and just say "I know you are busy, so please take you time!"...


When I've sent out the translated charts to her, I added a pair of "Hardanger Coasters" which I've made for a luv luv couple.
She was so happy to received the envelope from me, and this time she made me a Biscornu and a card instead...
Actually I have to say sorry to her, kept her waiting so long, but how nice she is!
Do I actually deserve this lovely gift???
But, thank you so much for your kindness and pure herat, Joei!
Your gifts made my soooo happy and they will be my treasure, too!And moreover, I'm happy that we became friends from this exhange!

Thanks again! Hugs xx

HERE IT IS!!!!

This is the pinkeep for our "Pinkeep Exchange" from Su, the design is from LHN!
She had chosen this design as she knew that I like LHN and CCN!It's soooooooo lovely and beautiful, isn't it!!

Finally I could see Su's work in person, I'm a sooooooo lucky girl, aren't I?!

She trimed the edges with double silk ribbons, and the flower braid, and added red and black glass pins (like ladybugs )around the pinkeep.
The backing fabbie is also beautiful and sooooooo suit well for this pinkeep!
She is absolutely wonderful as I always feel, her stitching and finishing are perfect indeed, and truly she is talented!!!!!

She added some beautiful wee things too, the beautiful colourfull fabbie and the hand dyed threads!I really like these soft colours of threads, but how shall I use for these threads?

What colour of fabrics suit well for these threads do you think? Please give me some of your ideas!(My present plan is, stitch the Noel design (from AMAP) with this threads on a deep red linen, what do you think?)


Well, I'm sooooooooooooooo happy for our wonderful "Pinkeep Exchange" this time!
Su asked me to do next exchange, this sweet offer made me extremly happy!

Thanks Su! You are really torelant, I'd really appreciate for this our met, although it is only online, but we definately hope to stay friends for a long time!

Dear Su, "THE WORD" for the next exchange, I will think about it and tell you later! Big Hugs xx
