Year ends

How time flies! We are coming to the end of 2006.

MAY YOU HAVE GOOD HEALTH, WEALTH , PEACE
AND
LOTS OF WONDERFUL STITCHING or CRAFTING
in the year 2007 !!!!

There's a major disruption of international internet links caused by earthquake that struck southern Taiwan since Tuesday nite effecting communication over much of Asia . As a result, its been tiring accessing the net, blogger , gmail and yahoo included. The quake had people predicting the worse disaster not forgetting the destruction caused that was in its way.

Before am deprive of my networking access, I would like to bid farewell to 2006 (when I still can)

Its been a year of sharing and learning, been inspired to try or finish something that might have never cross my mind I would undertake, example the bourse and 4-patch pincushion. (It was major to me coz' I had to use the sewing machine) Improved on my finishing from tips received, shared new finds, received encouragement to work on my WIPs but above all , getting to know all the wonderful ladies thru blogging who shared the same passion (otherwise thot I was alone and always the odd one as I seems to be stitching or crocheting all the time and everywhere ALONE...not any more for deep down me, I know somewhere someone is out there with me) sharing knowledge, been invited to homes and most importantly I found a friend in you. You have all been wonderful, never knew we could be so close yet so far.

Comes 2007, I hope to begin work on a couple of charts which has been lying at the bottom of my drawer , namely :

1) 8-Immortals (Pinn)
2) something on Dragon (Dimension) (gosh...can't remember the chart name....)
3) Shimmering Mermaid (Mira) ...finger cross

Not mentioned are a couple of small charts which will be work on ad-hoc I guess

I hope to complete some of my work in progress as well OR the unfinish.....

1) Garden Fairies
2) Beaded Shoe
3) A couple of crochet items - Shawls, blouse, crop jacket, bag
4) Alter-Echo
5) San-Man seasonal
6) ...still recalling........
