Hi friends

I was unable to post anything on this blog due to work. The same excuse I have been giving previously. I have finished my doily, a picture of which is here. I have been stiching some Arabic verses during my free time.

While surfing I found this site which gives out free patterns daily and the patterns are very good. They are easy to download. The link is below:

Happy cross stitching

My old projects

I was unable to write due to work piling up. I found some of my old projects which I did about 10 years ago. This pattern was from an old book. I did the same in purple and presented it to my bro.

Last Tuesday was Eid and had been very busy. Friends and relations still drop in.

Ship from Pirates of the Carribean

I saw this pattern and wanted to stitch it 'cos it reminded me of the film Pirates of the Carribean. I was thinking what if I could put in Captain Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, and Elizabeth Swann, it would be perfect. I am sorry I am not a good artist. I still have a little more to finish this. Hope you like it.

More cross stitch

Here is some more of my projects. This framed one was done by me about 5 years ago and it adorns a wall of my living room. The matching cushion covers are still in the process of being done. I came across this in a craft magazine. Your comments are welcome.


Here is a lovely quote:

A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves - Amelia Earhart

Cross stitch and roses

There was a time I loved to stitch roses. I used to search for cross stitch patterns of roses. I stitched a few and presented them to friends and relatives. Now there are 2 in my possession. One is a cushion cover, the background is black. Here they are.

My mother who is 84 has come to stay with me. She was very good at crochet. I was able to learn crochet from her, but am not as good as her.
