finally have some spare time for the needleworks~~

i was tired and didn't bother to set the proper white balance.
the name is indeed in "purple'.

i originally visited the supervisor of my previous workplace last sunday. but unfortunately she was sick. would visit her and her new born baby later. this cross stitched piece was made with the 25ct evenweave cloth. though it takes a longer time, i like it much more than the usual 14ct cloth.

sucessfully made the buttons using the tools i bought at $10 shop. embroidered two birds. not very nice. will try other patterns next time. but i guess it looks better in the picture, using the special camera effect of iphone =p

this is soooo touching... it still makes me cry no matter how many times i've watched...

i'm so tired... finally got a better sleep last night~

was in singapore for a week~ the lion king musical there was soooo great! i was like a child watching, feeling amazed and laughing in the show~ i enjoyed it sooo much!!




i've spent so much on the lion king gifts. bought zazu, pumpa, and timon back home.
simba and nana won't be as lonely as before. =)



before i went to singapore, i've made the aloe vera soothing mist and gel mask.
and it's a wise choice for me to make that before my trip.
coz the sun there rily killed me!

after coming back to hk, it was then a few busy days on work and sj. coz the new program on work started. and guess i won't have much time for handcrafts till the next public holidays come. but i'm not blaming on this. indeed, i gain much satisfaction from work these days. and feel so great that my supervisor recognizes my efforts by giving me an "excellent" in my annual appraisal~ he said i'm the second one to obtain this high score from him throughout these sixteen years... i'm rily rily delighted~! though there's still a long way to go, before i become as smart as him.






more handcraft thing to share here. found these embroidered bookcover of the penguin classiscs! it totally amazed me!!
