Inspirations....

Inspirations are all around us.....God has a way of sending us signals through persons, places and or things.....But we've got to be awake or aware of their presence....or they all will just fly right by.

Flat Fold Tutorial....



Just want to share this and put the link here.... I would definitely like to try doing one of this someday....

Butterfly Whisper.....


..... Here's another of my favorite crossstitch project entitled "Butterfly Whisper" from Dimension Gold designs. This project gave me lots of enjoyable moments and satisfaction... I'm really a butterfly fanatic and really hopes to finish more of my butterfly projects in the very near future!

Believe....



....Here's the project that I'm currently doing...It's entitled "Believe". I'm super enjoying it... and wish that I have a lot more time to xstitch it. I look forward to the time when it's halfway done ... to see more of the butterfly emerging!

.... as for this one...I'm using 16 ct. of white Aida fabric which my Ninang Lena sent to me from California and 2 threads over 1 of DMC fabric. There's lot of confetti stitches but I can say that it's manageable. There are no backstitches on this one only full crosses. As of the size - it's 153w x 200h.

Butterflies in stitches....





.... It has been a stressful week.... and I promised myself to have a "me" moment this weekend at home as a means to unwind.... I super LOVE butterflies! ...and I chose to browse over some of my crossstitched projects and picked up some with butterfly designs and uploaded them here!

My first entry....

"NOW IS THE TIME"

Margaret Storm Jameson, an English novelist, once said: "Most of us spend 58 minutes an hour living in the past with regret for lost joys, or shame fr things badly done (both utterly useless and weakening) or in a future which we either long for or dread."

The only way to live is to accept each minute as an unrepeatable miracle, which is exactly what it is - a miracle and unrepeatable.

Work at your work. Play at your play. Shed your tears. Enjoy your laughter. Now is the time of your life.


This is a very meaningful message for everyone of us. I want to start this blog as a refection of life, things that I want to share and talk about.... this will also serve as a means of letting out my thoughts and ideas... a means of sharing my greatest passion in crosstitches.... and a means of helping myself go over with all the thoughts and feelings going in my mind and inside my heart in a whirlwind process.

Let's just continue to count our blessings in each and everyday... May our Lord bless us all... our loved ones... our country... and all that matters.
