The End of a Love Affair!

And I couldn't be any happier!!! 1 year and 10 months of love-hate relationship and it all resulted to todays sweet goodbye... sweet goodbye to all the frustrations it had caused me to be exact!!! But I am happy, no tears here. oh no no no!!! It's so beautiful and I love it to bits. I thought at one point i was so tired of it that I wanted to just give it away to my sister once it's finished, but I have to say sorry to her because unfortunately, they are not Justin & Noreen LOL and the two lucky people who's names are stitched onto this piece are the lucky recepient of this beautiful finish **ahem**

Are you ready???

Once Upon A Time by Passione Ricamo

on SMF Impressionism belfast

This has got to be one of my favorite finishes. Because I love my conversion LOL (see original here). I also went with my previous plans, like her necklace, thank God it doesn't look like an inverted cross like in the original LOL, I gave her a choker with a single bead dangling (sorta). That scarf-like whatevs that was hanging from her shoulders had been chopped off. And the darker shades in her dress are in greys because I didn't want her to look like she is wearing a scrap of the same material as the prince's cape. I also added some words, to make it more wedding sampler-ish like. Just dropping the names and date in there would'a been boring as hell, wouldn't you agree?

Now I don't know when this will be framed, but I gotta find something nice and perfect for it, but ho hum, I am not even sure I can do it soon because the apartment we live in right now wouldn't allow nails bigger than a pin, i mean really! It pisses me off to no end! That i haven't even bothered fixing my other one that their damn wall dropped and broke!

So yeah, I think I am set for another crap hahaha! I am not sure what to do next yet, but I have yet to finish my last square for Cole's quilt and then i will have to decide, perhaps a smallish one, just for a quick kiss on thyself by myself.

Thanks for viewing and I hope you liked what you see, as you had been so very patient with me all this years listening to me crap and crap and crap about this piece.

I need to go review for my drivers written exam this afternoon. Wish me luck! After almost 5 years of living in the US i finally decided to go sit me arse and take the exam. wOOt!? wOOt!?

Have a nice weekend everybody!

Sometimes...

A love affair just has to end...


--details soon--

The cam ho strikes again!~ultra violet hair = awesomeness

No stitchy updates. I will have to finish some before I want to post. Our computer also was an epic phail for a while. We had to buy a new power supply. beh

However, I updated my look !again! (got bored) and this time it's what i have always wanted, purple streaks! I bought a streaking kit (bleaching) at Sally's Beauty and a jug of manic panic in ultra violet. It came out awesome and I love my hair!!!

omigosh! let's try too hard ok?! LOL

just loving thy purpleness!

The whole process was a combined effort of me and hubby. I bleached my hair myself, and he helped me rinse it out and put the color in places I couldn't see. I told him "you are hot as a hairstylist" and he replied "like zohan?" hell yeah!!!

It was also a cheap one, i'm so cheap! cheap! cheap! Hubby always wonder why my butt itches everytime i see as he would call it (garage) garbage sale! LOL! All the mats i needed costs me less than $25, compared to the 75 bucks i paid when i did it at the salon, sadly I can't afford another 75 bucks + hairstylist tip because I refused to shell out anymore, and they gave me red instead of the purple i wanted. Botched hairstyle! O_0 yah,, phail much!

******

Hubby and i also celebrated our 6th year wedding anniversary. oh noesss!!! We have been together close to 8 years, married for 6...and perhaps getting ready to ward off that 7 yr itch? haha.

So, i asked him to import me some harajuku cosplay hoodies. Because I love japanese street fashion. I got these two as my anniversay gifts. Pricey, but worth it...ok, the only thing pricey was the shipping LOL.

harajuku cosplay pink hoodie.

harajuku brown bear hoodie.

I hope you are all having a productive new year stitching-wise. I have been slacking really bad, I think it's due that I pay some attention to my stash. Soon i hope! Have a lovely day/night/whatevs...everybody!

Thank you sis Joei

I recieved a very thoughtful christmas gift, on christmas eve while we were heading for santa maria, I went and decided to grab the mail before leaving. My lovely postman had a box sitting in there for me from my super loving sis Joei.

cute stuff from sis joei, love the handbag!

The opportunist using her lovely handbag! LOL (santa maria, shopping trip with SIL)

Abusing the handbag (it was a cold cold day) while going to the mall last weekend.

Thank you sis Joei, your needleroll was truly a piece of art! And this handbag is remarkable, i love it to bits. Who told you i love bags? LOL It's going to parties with me from now on. Very abusive me, really! LOL

Love ya! and thanks again from the bottom of my heart!

Last Finishes for the year

I have 2 finishes to show off before the year 2008 says goodbye. I haven't set any stitching goals for next year, but "going to try" and finish OUAT is probably on top of the list. I haven't been feeling up to the top with my stitching mojo lately, but I am happy I made it to atleast 2 happy dances.


First off, my semi-HD a while back (last post), which tonight became a real full-blown HD. The Noah's Ark for baby by LA, all completed with the baby's information and also framed it with hubby's help tonight.

LA Noah's Ark for baby, on self dyed fabric

my ever so cute frame holder. lol

My next HD is a very very cute one, and I am so proud of it. Although I would humbly say that I have stalked for this OOP kit on ebay and won it for far too much money, $30 bucks, I am such a cheap ass person I wouldn't have bought it and pay for that much unless it's something I can't live without, in all honesty, turns out this one, I can't let go. I have seen some finishes over at 123stitch bb and I know I have fallen inlove. I kept telling myself "i have to have that for Connor's ornament this year" I showed it to my hubby and when i won it on ebay, he told me he will pay for it (aww, sweet), now I only get so much allowance every month and it doesn't even pay well enough for all the make up and clothes I shop for. Woman thing...You understand right? lol.



So without further yada...Cute ornie alert goes to a design by...

Bucilla ~ Santa and baby on 18 count metallic aida.

The original design had a blonde baby in it, so i modified it to fit Connor. =^-^=

Last post for the year, we will be heading down to Santa Maria for Christmas to spend with family.


I hope ya'll have a very Merry Christmas and will always be blessed with family, love and happiness all through the coming years.

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to all my friends!!!
