The Four Days Weekend

When I first pick-up cross stitching again after some years, I was so into seasonal theme. Love these whimscial charts by San-Mans Original but somehow the only chart that was really finished then was Summer - Bless The Breeze 

These charts dated back to 2003 if I recalled correctly

14ct Cream Aida

I never got to complete Autumn when I was so close to finishing by stitching the veins

Can't remember why it all went into hibernation, this was the last in the series that I stitched then

Spring was done except the embellishments

Then (L) and now (R)

 So was Winter - Bless the Freeze

I am still short of two Cardinals, I must have missed read the chart

I am now torn between flying in the birdies or just maybe substitute with some snowflakes

The country had a four days weekend and I think I have never accomplished this much in a weekend before with stitching that is. I got Autumn completed plus all the embellishments done for all seasons except for the missing birdies

So glad that these buttons didn't got misplaced

Can I consider these completed ?

RED HEXA SAL

Five more Red Hexa Flowers done which now counting at  17 pieces. Yay! I am good for April.

I think I enjoyed finishing  from my pile of UFO's . While rummaging my UFO's I have also found some stitched pieces which I never knew or rather forgotten I have stitched, will surely need to look into those too.

VESAK DAY , a celebration to commemorates three significant event in Lord Buddha's life - namely his birthday, his enlightenment and his passing away falls on Sunday this year, thus the extra holiday today. Buddhist temples are all full of activities with special services. Flowers , joss sticks and candles are offered to remind us that just as flowers wither and die, and joss sticks and candles burn away, so too is life - temporary and you'll find me spending some hours in the morning on the temple grounds and Diane took the opportunity to donate blood where Blood Donation Campaign is always one of the event being organized, unfortunately not me, my blood is a bit self-centred, my  haemoglobin level is just never enough to enable me to share.

Lighting the candles for Blessings

It's back to work tomorrow
