11

My poor, poor neglected blog. I have been stitching yet have nothing to show. I've been having the attention span of a fruit fly so it seems like I've not gotten anything done :(

Anyway, I'm it, tagged by Tammy to answer her 11 questions :)

Favourite pattern ever stitched - show a picture if you can.: I guess WiPs don't count so it would have to be Voice of the Shepherd by Told in A Garden.

Favourite junk food to have while stitching.: I don't eat while stitching. However, I like to have a glass of Ribena (blackcurrent juice) at hand.
Your Favourite Blog to visit: This is a tough one. However, I'm sure these three are probably at the top of most stitchers' list to visit.; Rensel Studio (Don't you just love Jill's talent?); Random Ramblings (No introduction necessary for Joyce, creator of IHSW); Stitching Dreams (I'm always amazed by Carol's stitching and finishing)
Do you leave comments on blogs?: I try to as much as possible.
Do you reply to your comments on your blog?: Usually only when a question is asked or I have something to say. Mostly I just leave a comment in return :)
Your favorite thread to work with ie. DMC, Anchor, sampler, weeks ect.: Vikki Clayton's Hand-Dyed Fibers (silk)
Do you know a male stitcher?: Yes, Paul, who is a member of my local Needles n Craft Yahoo Group.
What is the biggest stitched piece you have stitched?: Angel of Hope by Lavender & Lace

What is the farthest away you have traveled to go to a stitching store, what was it called?: Only to Haby & Wools in Kuala Lumpur. Not that far away. I mostly purchase online.
Favorite tool to use with stitching.: Tacky Bob for beading.
Do you like stitching for others or yourself and why?: Both. I give my stitched pieces to friends and family to show how much they mean to me. To me, a dose of love is put in with every single stitch I make. The rest I stitch for me to enjoy.

Now make up 11 questions and tag fellow stitchers.
The 11 friends I tag...

And their 11 questions (which I answered too in case you're curious). I figure I'll alternate between stitchy and non-stitchy questions to make this more fun.

What is your most favourite DMC colour/code? (Yes, you can only pick one): DMC 336 - Navy Blue
If you could go to any country for free, where would you go and why?: Ireland. It's wild, it's beautiful. My first childhood penpal is Irish. She, along with Nora Roberts, have fuelled my love and curiosity for Ireland. On top of that, The Giant Causeway is in my places-I-must-visit-in-my-lifetime list.
Fabric, floss or chart? Pick one.: Fabric, preferably hand-dyed. A girl could never have too much fabric. God knows I already own too many charts I could ever stitch in my lifetime.
If you could ask God for a non superhero ability/talent, what would it be?: I'd like to have a green thumb. I managed to kill the cactus I bought. Apparently it could survive in the desert but not my room :/
If you could ask a designer a question, which designer and what would you ask?: I'll ask Nora Corbett why some of her designs are Out of Print :(
Besides stitching, what other hobby takes up the most of your time?: It's a toss up between reading and playing computer games for me. Difference is, I can read anywhere, anytime but computer games can only be played at home.
Hardwood floors, tiles or carpet for your craft studio?: Hardwood floors for sure.
Are you a morning or night person?: Definitely a night person.
If you could only shop in one needlework store be it ONS or LNS for the rest of your life, which one would it be?: Probably Needlecraft Corner. Drema is a real sweetheart and most of her items come with a 20% discount.
How long/short is your hair? Do you keep it that lengh because you or someone else likes it?: Mine's pretty long, past my shoulders down my back. I think I look better with long hair. It's a bonus that Mikey likes it long too. Longer if he had his way.
What is your all-time favourite design?: I have so many but right now, it's Mirabilia's new Dressmakers' Daughter. Can you tell I'm a sucker for four season designs? (And the bling, of course. Oh, the bling... It's gonna be spectacular. LOL!)

Hopefully I'll have stitchy pics to show next post.

Happy Stitching!

28 January 2011

I was bored and decided to look at my past blog posts just to see how far I've come in my stitching. I realized that I've changed quite a bit not only in design taste but also in the materials I use nowadays. I barely stitched on Aida now and have become more or less a linen snob. I still stitch with DMC but I prefer silk a lot more. I've learnt quite a lot about beading, metallic threads and specialty stitches. With that said, I think it's time for another Chart Title Quiz! I did this once back in February 2006. I figured it would be fun to do it again just to see how my answers differ from then. On top of that, there are more new designs now to chose from.

So here goes... Again...

Are you male or female?

Garden Girl by Country Cottage Needleworks

Describe yourself.

Romantic Stitcher by Passione Ricamo

How do some people feel about you?

Wildflower Garden by The Drawn Thread

How do you feel about yourself?

Sunshine and Flowers by Cross 'N Patch

Describe your love interest.

Honor by The Silver Lining

Where would you rather be?

Sail Away by Shepherd's Bush

Describe what you want to be.

Traveling Stitcher by Little House Needleworks

Describe how you live.

Simple Joys by Little House Needleworks

Describe how you love.

Deepest Love by Mirabilia

What would you rather be doing (besides stitching)?

Take Time to Read by Jeannette Douglas Designs

What do you value most in life?

Love With A Capital L by Papillon Creations

Which trait would you wish to possess more of?

Patience by Just Nan

Your favourite time of the day.

Midnight by Lavender Wings (OOP)

Share a few words of wisdom.

Live Laugh Love by La D Da

All the charts I've listed are either a WiP, in my stash or on my wish list. Seems like all my answers (hence taste) have changed except for one. Not too much into the cutesy stuff anymore. Perhaps I've matured? LOL! That's something to ponder about.

I've added a few more questions to the original quiz. I'd love for you to play along too. As before, the only condition is that you must genuinely love the design and not just choose it for the title. If you decide to post this quiz, please leave me a comment and I'll definitely drop by to see your answers. However, I refuse to take the blame for the amount of enabling this might cause :P Have fun!

P.S. Credit is once again given to Anna who created it back in November 2005

The Chart Title Quiz

I was browsing around reading fellow stitchers' blogs when I stumbled upon this quiz created by Anna. Basically, you have to answer all the questions given using names of cross stitch patterns. The only rule is that you should really like the design and not pick it just because it had a good title. It looked like a lot of fun so I decided to give it a try and here are the results.

*Warning: Don't try this if you do not want to add to your wish list!*

Are you male or female?
