This is Coffee Menu by LHN. It's a birthday present for a friend who loves her coffee. I just finished it and will send it
to be framed soon. It's fun to stitch, there's no backstitch, no half stitch and no quarter stitches!

Butterfly ni sebenarnya kecik aje tapi bila dah scan nampak besar pulak! Me jealous tengok butterfly Ibu_sara, so I tried to make one too. So now dah boleh jugak buat onion ring... False picot, false chain tu tak cuba lagi...my poor brain cannot absorb too much...have to take it slowly!!

As you can see I am totally hooked on mattress pincushions! Why? For me the finishing is easier to do compared to a pinkeep. Yes it's more tedious, there's more sewing to do...u have to count and recount as many times as it takes until you're satisfied that you haven't counted wrongly. But if you're very, very careful the finishing is a breeze. No need to worry about centering the stitched piece, fingers don't get messy with glue.....

This time I was more rajin....siap jahit kat tepi tu lagi!

Took this chart from TGOS June, 07.

Huhu...I finally managed to finish this doily! Berpeluh jugak nak menyiapkan satu doily ni...
This doily uses one shuttle, one thread. It has 6 rows. Rows 1,2 and 3 was relatively easy. Masuk row 4 I started making mistakes but still boleh cover lagi. Then when I was tatting row 5, I kept making mistake after mistake so in the end I had to snip, snip row 5 and do it all over again! I was very, very careful when I did row 6 cos tak nak buat mistake lagi... I still need to work on the chains to get the tension correct tho....

Jangan tengok close up tau...hehe!

This is How Does Your Garden Grow - Part 2. Relatively easy to do, tak banyak and can finish in one day...now I'm patiently waiting for part 3....
