Pages 2 progress and Travel Memories

Hello my fellas stitcher, it's have been one week more that i haven't share my progress for spring comes (DOME).. it's really challenging since in pages two i have found many flower's color which need to be stitched.. so my decisions is i have to stitch pink, blue, orange, purple and also yellow flower first and then continue to a whole gradation green leaves and grey's gate.. check this out

the other rest white side is only for green leaves gradation and the grey's gate.. will i finish it soon the whole page 2 of 10? :p

In the other side, iam so happy yesterday i have received my Travel memories (Dimensions Petite kit) which i have bought from Stitch and More (America). I know it really takes a long time since it will shipping from America to Indonesia.. finally i received it in 27th October 2012 and i remembered i ordered it from 13th September (44 days it's such a long time, isn't it?)

Title: Travel Memories

Designed by: Dimensions., Inc

Size: 18 x 13 cm

Why i bought this kit? it is a simple answer. i love cross stitch kit which contains genre of vintage, classic and also paris things. Since i was born in Paris but i grown up in indonesia. *wish i can go back to my birthplace for the second time :)

Voila! My Bongsan Talchum's dancer is finish!

This is my second dancer lady from six lady that i have been done so far. Actually, the second dancer is looks more colorful and easy to make the backstitch for her!  I need one week for finish her with the backstitch. (1st - 7th October 2012). I intend to submit my dancer lady into eight color contest that held by #StitchingPirates (http://stitchingpirates.deviantart.com/journal/EIGHT-COLOR-CONTEST-325369235)

I took initiative to start stitching from her dress. you can see there are many pink, red and yellow color

I already finish her dress and her mask.. i really disappointed when the thread for my kit is not complete. The Seller is gave me a wrong thread.. it must be DMC 581 (Moss Green) for her dress but she gave me the light blue. So i need to go to the mall for buying one floss only at that time i have to pending my stitching until i get my thread =__=

After i have bought my moss green thread i can continue her dress very smoothly.. and here we are the dancer already finish and it only need the backstitch then!

Voila! this is how is she looks like after i make the backstitch.. I have an idea in the next dancer i will use some beads for her dress. is that a good idea? 

Here we are, my Samulnori's dancer and Bongsan Talchum's dancer are standing together now.. are they lovely? which one do you like the most? 

P.S :

If you wanna know the history background of The Bongsan Talchum's dancer you can see this link http://www.knutimes.com/news/article.html?no=688 * i hope we can learn more about the background about the cross stitch that i have been made :)

Welcome back again!

Finally! i come back again after having civil servant's enrollment test in last saturday, 8th september 2012! Alhamdulillah, i can write down my answer nicely in the answer sheet. I'm really tired and my ehad exploded when almost one month i need to study everything about global issues. in the same time, my parent forbid me to do cross stitching for a while. Fuhh~

I'm really dying seriously to study all of them in such one months.. i have to fill 226 questions the total. 200 questions in 2.5 hours and 26 questions about the global issues (multiple choice, short essay and essay) *collapse

In the other hand, it can open my eyes about the problem in the world is concern about. That's part of challenging if you want to be ambassador from your country. wish me good luck for passing the exam! i really waiting for the announcement on October 2012! 

Now, i'm ready back to stitching again. here come to momma, my beloved teddy bear's cross stitch! here is my teddy's bear progress! :D

you can see i already finish some of the right side of flower's border for the pillow. it's already 85% of completion 

Voila! the flower's bordery have been completed. it's already 90% of completion. next i will continue 5% for the shadows in their leg and 5% more for the backticth. i will be finish on anytime soon! yayy! 

July 2012 WIPocalypse!

Okay my bear really takes slowly progress. Since this month there is another company called me for participate in recruitment and also i need to be focus in post graduate enrollment exam :'( That's why iam so sad that i can't really make the mom's bear finish soon. so here are my progress:

My progress on June 2012

my progress on July 2012 is i almost finish mom's bear. it will be more one leg and i can be move on to her son.

My progress on July 2012

hmm.. iam not found any difficulty to make mother's bear. she is really cute and iam so happy that i rarely found blended thread. i found one now in her leg. wishing i can finish both of her leg so she will be happy meet her husband and daughter :p

my first try needlepoint!

when i got tired and bored with my current projects. i usually try making small project. so i chose to try my first needlepoint kit from Royal Paris collection (Little girl and her mirror). it looks like easy since it only using half stitch with 6 anchor's strands but it difficult when you are never stitch chart which already printed on canvas'. So these are my progress.. i make it today spending about 2-4 hours for stitching the background

i make it done the purple background in the right side. surprisingly, there are still more purple thread left on. so i can keep it on my stash for my another Anchor's project 

Voila! until now i try to finish the pink background on her in the left side. i don't know how to continue in the little girl's dress. can you see the grey and white gradation on her dress? i hope iam as newcomer for needlepoint can make it done. just wish me good luck <3 <3

i can't stand to wait stitching spring comes!

i promise to myself to start my spring comes kit (DOME) until i finish my the row of love project. Hopefully in July 2012 since this kit for olympic stitching held by WIPocalypse.  But in the reality, i can't keep that promise. i start to stitch this kit a little bit. i still need to be focus for finishing the bears family X( X(

these are the thread and charts for the spring comes. it looks good since i can see many colorful thread. the total thread in this chart are 62 thread. 

my hands so itchy and want to make this kit . so i give up i start to stitch this kits (i ruin my plan that wanna make this kit on july 2012) *poor me!

hahaa i only make it done the yellow border and the green leaves beside the borders. it's still a long way to go to finish this project. just wait me until i finish my row of love project then! i wish i can have gorgeous house beside the blue river and cherry blossom tree. *it's perfect house! >//<

WIP-The Row Of Love Project

WIP-Pink Rose

Fiuhh! this is my first cross stitch project that theme is flower. i made it into 1/4 half of total chart. the pink gradation for the pink rose kinda difficult. i need to look carefully since i have to change 8 pink color with almost same gradation. that's why this project takes a long time to finish it

work in process date : 6th - 12nd April 2012

 i got frustation to finish the left upper side, i think i have miscalculation and i need working on it again. that's why i choose to continue the left down side. i love the color of this pattern. the flower looks so bright!

work in process date : 12nd - 20th April 2012

after a long time, i can finish it almost the 50% of the total chart. yayy! i love the brown vase it looks so real! i need to work in the right side soon!
