November IHSW & What A Hoot!

Zurainny Ismail November 18, 2014

This month’s IHSW was held a week earlier, probably to compensate for last month’s absence and will most probably continue this week as well because this weekend (21st-23rd November) is the actual IHSW.  I really enjoy my stitching weekends! 😀



 

I know I have a lot of WIPs tucked everywhere, but as I have a few things to send to a friend who has moved to the USA, I thought I might as well send her a specially handmade cross stitch Christmas card, too.

I stitched this last Saturday and Sunday, on a 14 ct Aida :

I obtained the chart (‘What A Hoot’) for free from Cross-Stitching.com and also managed to waste some time doing a few unpickings, as usual.  I blame it on the fact that I was stitching while watching Grimm.  I knew it was bound to happen, but I couldn’t resist stitching while watching my favourite shows.

‘What A Hoot’ is almost complete – I only need to do some simple backstitchings and attach it onto a card.  And then, this Little Owl will fly to Claremont, California.

Now, how was your IHSW?

About The Author

Zurainny Ismail

Hello! I am a mom of 5, living in the beautiful city of Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. My dream is to have more time for family trips, cross stitching, crocheting, reading, watching movies and contribute to the well-being of the community. My favourite words of wisdom is : 'Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well' -which I fail miserably when implementing.

      Hehehe…boring kalau tengok tv tak buat apa2. Kalau dah abis lipat kain-baju, potong bawang/sayur, atau buat cross stitch/crochet pula…:D Sudah balik2 buat silap pun tetap x serik jg.
