<h>When the

me behind and I could not initiate the project. But then I had to do it any how.</h> </div>

bid goodbye to the lady and placed a house and a tree full of double wrap loose

A little
bit of gardening in the front yard would have been great but time was running
out. I started this piece last Tuesday. So, this was all that I could complete
in a week. Wish I had a few more days in hand...;)<br />

Thus, I was far from the blogging world for so long. Anyway, let’s leave this aside and focus on today's post.

But today I was determined enough to make a post at least. Today I want to share my second BE project. It’s a small square measuring 12 X 12 cm. You are likely to make out the stitches that I have used by seeing it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x-Zfw7mNge4/S5p08K3kp5I/AAAAAAAAAME/-LV3XQwkDh0/s1600-h/BE.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 337px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x-Zfw7mNge4/S5p08K3kp5I/AAAAAAAAAME/-LV3XQwkDh0/s400/BE.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447795276316452754" border="0" /></a><br />All the knots are colonial knots. The background filling is pekinese stitch. I added the background to fill the space between the flowers. And for the rolled roses I would like to thank <a href="http://deepashome.blogspot.com/">Deepa</a> for her valuable BE lessons gift......they are a life long treasure.<br /><br />The main intention behind creating this square was to try different BE stitches. I didn't have anything in mind at that point of time. But now that I have completed, I am wondering what to do with it. Should I frame it or use it in the middle of a cushion or.....any suggestion? <br /><br />I will be back soon friends..<br />Love,<br />AnuAnusuyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02938431007212383113noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389664492297633368.post-39720008898813497322009-11-15T00:43:00.004+05:302009-11-15T01:15:34.057+05:30Back with a bang…oops old bangs :P

When I am doing nothing I love to get absorb in needlework. I started learning embroidery when I was in school. My grandma is the one who taught me the basics. Till now I have learned several stitches visually browsing through various websites and craft blogs.<br /><br />My main motto of creating this blog is to display the projects that I do whenever I get spare time. Apart from needlework, I also love doing painting and other craft works.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x-Zfw7mNge4/Sog9aPGyhqI/AAAAAAAAAHc/fCo3ZF7Fq2I/s1600-h/DSC01345.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_x-Zfw7mNge4/Sog9aPGyhqI/AAAAAAAAAHc/fCo3ZF7Fq2I/s400/DSC01345.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370610076580218530" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Today I would like to show you all a two year old project that is still incomplete.....:P It is a traditional attire that I am making for my mom.
