Happy New Year!

Happy New Year's Eve eveyone!!  My last stitches are below ... I really enjoy finding a new font to stitch the year in ... this years color was WDW's Grapefruit ...

 and here's how it looks in it's pillow ...

The table is all ready for the party to begin ... but first we're going out to dinner with Ken and Lisa ... then home for some bubbly, games and dessert ...


Looking back on 2014 ... it's been a great year ... I turned 60 this year and had a couple of wonderful trips ... one with my best friends, who both turned 60 this year too 





 Then in September I took my fantasy vacation ... a 5 day trip to Paris to celebrate turning 60 with Lisa .... OMG what a trip!!!  of course you've seen a lot of those pictures!  lol



We also lost our beloved Chip ... miss you!!!



and I stitched!  Here's some of my finishes for 2014 ... I know a few are missing, but this is most of them ... 2014 Stitching

all in all it was a wonderful year with good friends and family ... I'm a bit sorry to see 2014 go ...


but I'm looking forward to what 2015 has in store for me ... Terry and I will celebrate our 40 anniversary in June 2015 ... we are planning a trip to London and Paris!!!  We are both soooo excited!  and of course there will be many other highlights to 2015 along the way.

I hope you're 2014 has been a good year for you and hoping that 2015 brings you health and happiness and lots of stitching!  Love you all!



I hope you find your Joy in your stitches ...

I'm grateful for a good 2014 ...

Exchanges and some stitching ...

Happy First Day of Summer! Although around here you'd never know it ... we had a very unseasonably wet and cold Spring. We've only had a couple of days that were over 70 degrees ... wonder what July and August will be like? Summer might no really be here yet, but Summer exchanges are ... first up is my exchange from Karen from the Stitching Friends Through the Seasons blog . Karen stitched the lovely SB design for me ... it's going to look great on my mantle! Karen also included some ribbon, fabric, beads, charms and some of her wonderful handmade cards! I just love everything Karen *smile* My exchange partner is Joan . I stitched for her BBD's Pins and Needles. Vonna finished it into a lovely pincushion, filled with walnuts. I wanted to make a little something for the 4th of July for Joan too, so I stitched up this cute Quaker freebie design and finished it into a little pillow. Funny thing about this Quaker design, Joan had just finished stitching it for her...

BRAIN DRAIN = BRAIN DEAD

Please help me understand… Why is it that when GLCs' top officials get hefty pay raise - one today received a huge sum - they deserved it? Their salaries must be adjusted upwards or else…brain drain, or something, so said a wise man. Those foreign companies would gleefully employ them and offer fatter salaries. These bigshots would take up the offers, wouldn’t they? Okay… but I still don’t get it. Am I right to say that these “terrer merrer” bigwigs at GLCs, which in turn are owned by Khazanah, which in turn is owned by the government, whose members are put there by the rakyat, whom the government is asking to be thrifty in their spendings because of soaring costs in everything, which would soon include higher energy tariff imposed by one GLC which is headed by the CEO who had gotten the handsome raise, are to be spared the hardship which we, the 98 percent other Malaysians, are suffering from? Didn't we put them there to solve our problems, to look after our wellbein...

Lazy in Ramadhan

I think I should firstly put this up on my About page: Sleeps long, and at odd times. Today, was just one more day, where the author of this rocking blog, spent an entire day, sleeping. The counterargument arrives later at night. When I speak to myself, “Its all good, if I can work at night.” All good? Maybe yes. I do a lot of work, but the way the night is designed. The darkness, the silence, it all eats you up. A few nights like this, and the feeling of emptiness looms all day. And the reader might raise his hand, and say, “Me, too”. Its lazy Ramadhan. A lot of people get into the Ramadhan mode. Pray a lot. Spend a lot of time reciting/understanding the Koran, and even more in the mosque. For those who don’t, it’s a time to start the fast early morning, hit the bed, and wake up at the time when its all over, and one can restart eating. This has been the fate of a few of my fasts. Where one feels like a million, a few, is one too many. Again, there is time at hand. 5 more days of ...
