Home Improvement & SAL WIP

Yay! I finally have time to post for my blog today! I finally
finished some unpacking job after few weeks since we moved in to
this house, so I can devote more and more time to pick up my needle
for my WIP at night, I don't have time to stitch in daytime,
so I stole away half an hour to stitch every night before I go to bed.

The weather here in Malaysia has been extremely hot and humid
recently. It reach 35 degrees Celsius (approximately 95 degrees
Fahrenheit). According to the weather forecast, the heat wave will
stay for another few more weeks! Heat is making me crazy, lucky
enough to have air conditioning in my working room and bedroom.

The house renovation is 90 percent done now. And the furniture
and home improvement are 60 percent complete. For this post,
I would like to share with you some of our new house's sculptures
and a cute little ceiling fan.


This is a designer lightcraft my DH purchased before the house
renovation start. We installed it in our dining area, making the
dining room more brighter and better lighting. It spend two hours
for the installer to fix it on the ceiling!


This is the crystal light in the exit front door area.


This is the light sculpture which we installed it in the
dry kitchen above the mini bar island.


And this cute little pink ceiling fan is specially bought for
our two daughters for their PINK princess room.

Okay, I don't want to get you all bored of my house renovation
topic. Let me share some of my WIPs that I worked over this
past few weeks. I know this has been a very long time but my
stitching progress is very little.



I'm in the process of putting some stitches for Mary Wigham SAL too,
it have been nearly two months of time I haven't picked her up since
I moved house. Here is my progress over the past few months. Didn't
get as much as I had hope done but at least I started to continue
working on her again. For all those initials alphabet for Mary,
I would like to replace it with my own family's name initials and
I will do that at the end of the project.



I have also finally started on my second SAL - Bouquet for Cheryl.
Here is my work as of early March. I'm using 28 ct. light peach Cashel
linen with only four shade of Anchor colors.

Hopefully I can get more stitching done within this month.

Happy stitching everyone. And thanks for popping in and as
always I appreciate all your comments. And also thanks for
sharing all your awesome works!

Your WIPs all look wonderful. I know that home improvements can take so long - we've been doing them for five years! That first light is so unusual. My son just loves those types of designs in fixtures, so I will have to show him your picture.

It is also so hot and humid here in Cape Town - we had temperatures of over 40 degrees Celsius over the weekend! I wish Autumn would come now...
