I should have finish this into biscornu last weekend but was tight up with the children travelling to Shanghai. I have not decided what to stitch for the back portion but had some ideas to stitch something simple and fast. Hope to be able to finish this by this weekend (anyhow I have until end of Dec to finish...I guess!! LOL...). Since I will be off for Christmas and New Year break in Malaysia, I have plenty of time to catch up....too bad for Izzy she has to be in the office!! but hope to meet her for lunch :)</span></p><p align="justify"> </p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;">I guess that's about it! </span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span> </p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span> </p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;">Hugs</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;">//siti</span></p><p align="justify"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span> </p>Izzy and Sitihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00622448929042212020noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8090041737150004523.post-76812140705737272822008-12-23T21:47:00.000-08:002008-12-23T23:14:35.135-08:00January Finish- Piece from Izzy<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;">Hi Again......thanks for dropping by and check on our progress.........this is Izzy's finish piece for our January Challenge - Pretty in Pink.</span><br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjO7TP9Jsv6rkhVGJQ3BQT_3zaBQM0pQTBNroYKC0_pILsOefRvJkabwOu-N02MStxMfVplHwNQXH1TcZ8IEdsbPs0h-F9XjqO1F7SQ3RfB2CBI_1zSoyAn2nwWlKE8OJNxTgZxvMF-Hc/s1600-h/Biscornu+-+Jan+-+Pink+Flower9.JPG"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283236858863729218" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjO7TP9Jsv6rkhVGJQ3BQT_3zaBQM0pQTBNroYKC0_pILsOefRvJkabwOu-N02MStxMfVplHwNQXH1TcZ8IEdsbPs0h-F9XjqO1F7SQ3RfB2CBI_1zSoyAn2nwWlKE8OJNxTgZxvMF-Hc/s200/Biscornu+-+Jan+-+Pink+Flower9.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU8s3GrsAEV5xqnP607VrjjY5HlU4-Hf61JvzK5jhEp_Fn9gUiCpC5CriKtZQtL0T3-fkL4Qazb_8m5inVVkTYq3ZnXvdW4hsro1wgkh-J6t1rKV-rzWTYr9DM3HAyMsxCd2rcdW0faSs/s1600-h/Biscornu+-+Jan+-+Pink+Flower8.JPG"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283236795367056162" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU8s3GrsAEV5xqnP607VrjjY5HlU4-Hf61JvzK5jhEp_Fn9gUiCpC5CriKtZQtL0T3-fkL4Qazb_8m5inVVkTYq3ZnXvdW4hsro1wgkh-J6t1rKV-rzWTYr9DM3HAyMsxCd2rcdW0faSs/s200/Biscornu+-+Jan+-+Pink+Flower8.JPG" border="0" /></span></a></p><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;">Lovely finish!!

We both agreed to stitch Erynne freebie from <a href="http://be-stitched.blogspot.com/search/label/free%20pattern">http://be-stitched.blogspot.com/search/label/free%20pattern</a>. We wanted to have something to do with Winter (since its Winter already!!) so we decided to start on Erynne's Festive Snowflake. Please check her blog, she has lots of lovely freebies to stitch...I am sure you will enjoy them as much as we do!. But unfortunatley, we had forgotten to discuss what will this be finish into?? It could be pinkeep/flat fold or biscornu again....we will have an update later....</span></div><p align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;">We put our goal to finish stitching by middle of January or not later than end of January so that we can move on stitching our "Love is All Around" for our Valentine special. </span></p><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;">Please email us if you want to fill your stitching basket by end of 2009 with us.....till then....have a very Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!!!</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;">Happy Stitching!!</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;">Izzy & Siti</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span> </div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><br /></div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"></span></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"><br /></div></span></span><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div></div>CThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08170302076608813278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8090041737150004523.post-71548803296692581462008-12-17T19:57:00.000-08:002008-12-17T23:43:15.084-08:00Our Jan Biscornu Challenge - Pretty in Pink<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">We started our January challenge in December.
