Peacock Cross-stitch (The Finale)

Finally.....completed my Peacock x-stitch project. The next step is to wash it and get it framed. And to scratch my head to think where should I hang it....that's why never think before buying...


So even before I start on my Kuan Yin project (which I bought in December), I went to Monalisa and buy few more :P 2 of it is clock. I am now working on the 2 clocks, I guess I can complete them in pretty short time. The deity project is quite huge. I am thinking of buying more to keep for future. Maybe will go Angelstitch. Since I cannot get nice ones in Malaysia, and the price will definately cost a bomb in Msia...

Peacock Cross-stitch (Part 2)

It has been 6 months since I started my Peacock cross-stitch project. And till today, i have yet to complete it. Probably need another 1-2 months of stitching.

So here is my current progress.


So, just how big is this project. Let's compare the size to a pencil...


And, just how small are the square for a stitch? It's as small as the head of a mechanical pencil.


And, before I even finish the project, I have bought another cross-stitch set. This one is even bigger than the peacock, and, there are no unstitch area inside. I wonder how long this project will take

Peacock Cross-stitch (Part 1)

Since I have nothing much to do when I am at Shenzhen, I decided to do cross-stitch. When I bought it, I actually told the aunty I wanted something more complicated. It has been 1 month since I started working on this master piece...sigh....seems like progress is a little bit slow. I guess because it requires lots of counting (i made quite some mistakes) and also the boxes on the cross-stitch cloth is smaller than what i used to sew on when I was a kid. whew...I guess it will take me a year to complete!
