Crazy X-Stitcher Etc

Main System Down

2007-07-13T17:31:00.000+08:00

My main cross-stitch site is down and I did not update this one as well. More like my main self is down.

I'm drifting between non-stitching/stitching cum reading clump moment. Note, I say clump not slump.

I've been reading books as I feel like I have to read them before I go crazy. Books that I've finished reading.

1) Phantom by Terry Goodkind
2) Tombiruo by Ramlee Awang Murshid
3) The Howling Silence Tales of the Dead & Their Return by Catherine Lim
4) Making Vintage Bags (20 Original sewing patterns for vintage bags and purses) by Emma Brennan
5)Kancil Dengan Arnab By Yusri Sahat
6) Pemburu yang Malang by Arowana Publications
7) Koleksi Cerita Rakyat Sedunia Jilid 7 by Pustake Simtem Pelajaran Snd Bhd

The last 3 were children books (yes mummy read children books too for stress-reliever) Read them to my little terror DS.

And since I have practically plenty of time at work....I'm learning French which I started this Monday (090707). Pronouncing the words and looking at the words takes time for me...as they just don't connect in my brain. It's like looking at something but saying out something else.

I don't wish to activate this site but judging by the fact that my site would be down for awhile and do not know when it would be up again. (Server problem)

I had completely forgotten this purchase. I bought it off Ebay at US$2.25. It's TW English Cottage Sampler and TW English Garden Sampler. I've a thing for sampler. It all started off from Brenda Keyes book of Sampler which I had came across at the local library.

Remember this one...I call it my first mini cum coaster sampler. Well what defines a Sampler? While I embark on a journey in discovering more about sampler....I leave you ladies/men = lots to your morning coffee and morning stitches. I wouldn't mind a link to point me to the right direction though. Have a great start to a brand new day and have a good weekend. I'm working tomorrow... :(
