Merry Xmas!

Thank you for your kind words everyone. We're still missing MIL, but we're moving on, albeit very slowly.I started Feather Fairy a little while ago, but it is a slow going project. The chart seems smaller, maybe I need to make a larger copy. Or my eyes are getting old LOL :)

Meanwhile, some scrap pages to share with you..











Thanks for looking friends!

A finish

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts. We're missing here, but trying to move on.

Something to share with you...my Bliss Fairy. Finally finished her after so long.

A sad update. . .

No, I was not sick. But MIL was very ill. She was in the hospital for one month. Liver failure, or so they say. They keep pumping all sorts of drug into her body in an attempt to heal her liver. Unfortunately, it didn't get better.. only worse. Then her kidneys failed and she had a heart attack, a mild one and she survived that too. I think she's just waiting for DH as he was away in Taipei at that particular time.
She left us on 6th December 2006 at 0807 hours. I must say that is the hardest time of my life so far. My heart just hurts so much for my DH and FIL. And unbelieveable but true.. I'm missing MIL. I wasn't even that close to her but now that she's not around.. I feel that I have to fend for myself, all alone.

updates...

I'm alive.. barely LOL. Been miserable for most part of the month. But don't worry.. I'm strong and I will get thru this.

Thank you Dawn for the birthday surprise... they're lovely. Thank you so much.

Update for my Bliss Fairy..

She's coming alone nicely eh? :) Even when everything is going against me I can always stay in the safety of my bedroom and stitch.

Thank you for all the emails and notes asking where was I. I feel so loved :) *smile*

As promised...

I'm still wayyy behind in catching up with stitching blogs.. but I thought I'd share these progress pics first. Then I'll start blog hopping.. :)

I hope I can finish her in time to enter in the Silkweaver Stitchers Showcase 2006!

WHAT???!!!

Its more than a month since my last update? Goodness... I'm a terrible blogger. I'm so sorry.. so much has been happening. I've been busy stitching and scrapping, beside cleaning the house in preparation for Eid's celebration.. then Eid came, and I was kept busy visiting relatives and eating those yummy food.

Jenna : I hope you get my email thanking you for the super lovely pink scissors. Its so pretty I hope I will have the heart to use it one day. For now, its on display.. LOL.

I will share an update of Bliss Fairy soon.. I promise. Here's some pics from Nidhi's birthday at school today... believe me, i got tons of photo to share.. LOL. Can't wait.. but for now, this will do. Click for bigger pic...

I'm still here!!

Carol dearest, thank you! I didn't realize that it has been more than a week since my last update. My life has been so da*n busy these days. Dh, kids and the hobbies takes up almost all of the 24hours provided. Anyone knows where I can buy extra time? Preferably packaged in a reusable glass jar LOL...

Not much stitching update, really. I barely managed an hour a day, that too.. while helping Neha with her homework or her reading. I've been scrapping tho... here are some Layouts to share.


  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  




I will be going back to my hometown today, in about 6 hours. It will be just the girls and mommy as daddy is still in Paris. I really hope to be stitching loads during my stay there!! See you soon dear friends.. *hugs*

Some update...

Here's my Bliss Fairy update... just a little since I was in Indonesia for the weekend. I put in exactly 15 stitches while I was there.. before I just have to put it down to enjoy the soothing sea breeze and I fell asleep on the rocking chair LOL.


  

And here are some layouts I did for my album.

She's showing a lot of skin! With her skimpy clothes, I think she looks naughty LOL.

I'm really slow with her... why you ask? Coz I spent so much time browsing scrapbook gallery!! I do hope to finish Bliss before the New Year day tho..
