My new hobby

concocted on Tue, 18 Sep 2007 @ 11:33 am for Arts&Crafts

Just to prove to my son that mummy is not belong to the computer only.

Embroidery one-point stitch

Embroidery of a tree and houses

But what I don’t say is that this is actually inspired by my blogging too.

  1. Wow!! Is it difficult? I’m not one who can handle ‘needle and thread’ well…hehe.. ;)Show us when you’ve complete your embroidery! :)

    Eileen: Not too difficult but I had to take a while to figure out some stitching techniques from the books…like the tree…I had to redo that a couple of times to get it right.

  6. Wow wow wow.. so so nice.

    Did you draw the picture yourself? Love the cat and the tree.

    And you read Japanese is it? I find there are so many handicraft books in Japanese which I’m so interested in trying out (e.g. doll making in cloth, dough art etc), however, can’t read Japanese.. :(

    zm: Hey, thanks for the compliment. No, I didn’t draw the pics. I adapted mostly from the book. But I hope to be able to sew something from my own drawing in future. Actually no need to read the Japanese cos the pictures and illustrated instructions are very clear so can decify…
