another birthday surprise
i had to put this in a seperate entry. i need to lock it up for fear that she might popped over and see it.
here’s what i made for Qunyu. i hope she likes it. it’s not done yet. need to backstitch the outline. tried as i might, i couldnt finish it last night. 🙁
more stitching today. dont think i can make it in time for framing, so i’ll need to just buy a normal frame for it.
i came up with the ballons myself.. i know it looks a little weird.. but can i get some effort points? and the Q in qunyu.. i know it looks a little weird.. hahaha..
Cherie
Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

sweeeettt!!
hey i think the balloons don’t look weird. if u didn’t tell me, i would think that it was part of the original design =)
how much does framing cost ah??
cherieladieblogs
i thot the small one looked funny, too oval shaped. so i did another big one, and it didnt curve nicely, like there’s a small kink at the curving area. maybe its too small to be seen from here.
framing ah. not sure. the last time i did it for the size that’s slightly bigger than a standard ring file.. i paid 60+. but then i chose the wooden frame and non-reflective glass.. which was more ex than anything else.
i think it depends on the size, the frame material u choose and the glass. should be less than 50 bucks for small stuff, definitely.

You did the balloons very nicely .
and the Q is not weird .
It`s UNIQUE .
Makes it personalised ?
Yup !
You like cross- stitching is it ?
cherieladieblogs
like. do i like? hmm.. i think i prefer reading. but i just wanna make something sweet for a friend. u know, when everyone earns enough money to buy the stuff they want.. material stuff aint as great a gift.
many a times, i receive gifts that i dont need and chuck them aside.. so i just hope to touch someone with my effort. 🙂
