The most anticipated and challenging piece will be this piece of counted cross sticth of pooh is finally done in the span of up to 3 to 4 weeks time. Regardless of small or big problems, obstacles and discouragement are being posed as stumbling stones for me. For example, starting from scratch with an empty cloth to the lack of strings to the re-doing of steps. Most importantly, i had to rely all on my own to complete this piece for this time round. It really requires a lot of time, patience, determination. Even though the process was tough and tedious, it ends up a fruitful experience leaving me with great satisfaction and sense of achievement.


I started off with this :D


With the image in mind, i started off by creating the outline with back stitches and back hoops to end off when the thread runs out.








The outline is out ! :D In my opinion,outlines act as the main pillars for cross stitching. They gave me the rough idea where should i start and end with the thread in my hand.




It's time to begin on the little details (the eyes, nose, smile)


Last and foremost, the colours ! Colours make things alive. It also makes everything complete.







As what I expected, it really trains you from your metal self to your physical self. It stretches your patience, determination and passion to the maximum. If you aren’t strong enough, you will have given. It also exercise your concentration, your eyesight, your wrist. It doesn’t only mould your characteristic, it also make you a more flexible person :D

Small and common it may seem;
Beautiful pieces it also bring;
Tedious and tough is what it is;
Satisfying masterpieces are under its weaves.
