Cross stitching on the way home

The results of buying a promotional ticket is not as bad as it seems. The normally long lay over flight can sometimes be fun, when we know what to do when we get bored of roaming the airport during stop over. In my case I have a 6 and half hours waiting period from Hongkong to Philippines so I thought I would bring with me something to do. I hope I can finish this froggy pattern on the way. Which I intend to, well at least if I can resist shopping around. But I'm sure I have every reason not to shop so much because my valise is already at the limit. Although I fancied something from Giordano so I hope it is available and providing I can find the shop in Hongkong International airport.

experementing on knip mode design

An acquaintance of mine laugh about my style of clothes every time she sees that I wear something colorful or with flowery designs. Perhaps she thinks that I really knows nothing about fashion or to be exact un-fashionable. Which I don't give a damn. Well I can't blame her because I am really somebody who doesn't bother to go with the trend. I always dress for comfort, as for my style, I AM A FARM GIRL what can you expect. Although I am also very cautious what to wear, when and where and on what time and occasions. Especially weather conditions, whenever its really brrrrrrrrrr.

I saw this design in a knip mode magazine, and I fell inlove with it. So I did tried my best to sew not exactly like it but something with a little bit similarity of so. I am proud to say that my sewing skills is improving day by day. I am sure that I am going to learn it sooner or later. I know I am going to succeed when I set my mind on it. I have to buy a pas pop so I can make easy alteration and nice pictures. see the results of my progress : 

Stitch-A-Clock

My new alternate works Stitch-a-cat by Jeanette Crews Design . Hope to get started sooner! I haven't had a chance to take foto's of my other finished works 'coz I'm pretty pre-occupied over my upcoming vacation. Re-styling my blogs is also very interesting with the help of fellow bloggers who doesn't want her name to be mentioned, but I thanked her anyway. I am not really a detailed person but changes do me real good most of the time. I wish to learn more in the future. I have to go down and sit for a long time to be able to do it one day. For now, I have to slow down or I miss a lot that I know I will regret later on.

2 weeks before my vacation to Philippines

Well its going to be very hectic for me for the next few days and probably as well as

Plans for 2010

Aside from the fact that I am not yet used to writing the new year 2010. I am also still busy re-evaluating last year events in my life. Have I achieved something from the list that I did for the whole year? Yes and no, I have as always a lot of things to do, but I am proud to say that I am 85 percent successful. The rest which is yet to be accomplished is also almost in order. There are things that happened beyond my control, making my excuses acceptable, but then so as we say in dutch 'Ik lig daarover niet wakker van. The fact that I don't worry so much and don't easily get stressed every time I failed to reach a goal is a good sign.

Good luck for 2010 and beyond

Its very common every time the year begins to greet everyone Happy new Year!

It brings hope for everybody I think. And I do pray that all our wishes come true for this year and beyond. And may there be peace on earth.
