PS "Birth Sampler III" For UTA, Framed
Hi, it's been so long time.
I have been unwell again, somehow...
So haven't been stitching much recently, sigh ;(

By the way, I was forgetting to post this "Birth Sampler III" © Prairie Schooler for a long time!
This was a gift for my dear friend's baby girl, and I presented her when we met in Jan.

Her daughter, sweet Uta is so lovely, she was always smiling at me!! :D
I wasn't sure if my dear friend S. likes this (cross stitch work and this design...), but she was really pleased to receive this and so I was very very happy!!!


My dear friend and I always so enjoy our time, we are always chatting and laughing a lot even though this time it's been about 7 years since the last time we've met in person!!


Can you see the warped lines??
I think it was the first time for me to frame such design which has outer lines in it, and it was so difficult to adjust to frame...
Moreover, I miss cut fabric for this design (lol), so couldn't do beautifully more than usual...

I didn't like it (warped lines) so much, so said sorry to her about it, but she said "If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't realize about it! (lol)"
I shouldn't have told her!!! :p
But she said, if her darling daughter Uta realized about it one day when she grew up, she would tell her about miss cut fabric, LOL
She was just kidding, though!!


This time, I choose lame white frame with salmon pink outline, and added very light pink mat for this.
IRL, the frame and also the stitched piece are more lighter colour and soft, and it was quite lovely! :D
I'm planning to stitch this piece for my DS Tass someday in the near future!!


By the way, Tass became 6 years old yesterday!!!
How time flies so fast!! Can't believe, it's been 6 years already!!
He is thinking he became a very big boy, so didn't cry when he tripped over a stone and fell on his face "twice" today! lol
Good boy! :D

We are planning to hold a meeting of stitching group on Tuesday, although I'm not well.
I told them if I was lying down then, please laugh and forgive it! :p

Take care and have a lovely weekend!
Bye for now,

Mary Glover SAL - 0503, and Freebie
Hi, it's been so long since the last time I've posted.
Every year this season (especially March and April), I've been not so well, and also my son had been ill these past few weeks, he had high fever for about a week, and couldn't eat anything at all...
It was cause of inflammation of the middle ears, and also he had adenovirus.
That's why he had high fever, and it took so long time to recover.

Now he has been OK, but am feeling not so well...



I've been working on Mary Glover SAL a little by little, but even I've tried so many times for over one part, I can't manage it, also have tried tent stitch, though...
I will practice them and will try it again, later!


Here is a rice stitch part, it's been a middle of way, though I'm enjoying to stitch this part so much!
But taking time a little bit, so am going to stitch #8 (last part) tonight!



And here is a satin stitch part, I stitched with one thread, though it looks like comb (lol), I mean skimpy looks, so I will stitch again with two strands!
I hope it will make it better! :D







Here is a photo of Freebie © By The Bay Needleart.
I have "Miss Fiona's Rose Garden" © By The Bay Needleart, and it is always in my "wish to stitch list".
This freebie looks like Miss Fiona, and so was excited to stitch her.
And I was going to finish to finish this for something (secret yet), and was going to present for my friend.
But as I mentioned I was not good, I couldn't make it and am so feeling guilty for my friend...

Anyway, I'm going to finish her later this month when I became feel better, and send it to her as a very belated Easter gift.

Now it's long public holiday (it is called "Golden week") in Japan, so want to take my son to go or visit somewhere fun!!
Hope I will be feeling well soon...


Take care and have a lovely week.

Bye for now,
