A butterfly charm !!!!! :)

It has been quite a while I haven’t posted anything . I have completed some of my WIPs but no time to take pictures and post . I was slow on reading blogs too .
I cross stitched this beautiful butterfly charm on a 14-count white plastic mesh using Anchor threads . This chart is from the magazine Cross Stitcher January 2011 issue . As usual , I changed few colors based on available stock at home and my choice . It is supposed to be a bag charm but I am going to use it as a hanging for Anshita’s room in the new house . These beautiful Hibiscus flowers are from my tiny balcony garden :)

 One of the major reasons for my absence is that the woodwork for our new house has started . These magazines , which I bought in last couple of years, are coming in handy now.


 Although I have extensively searched for designs on internet still it is very difficult to come up with right design . Raj wants everything trendy and I go for contemporary . So we are having fights daily . The same carpenters who worked for our existing flat are working for new house too so at least they are sincere towards us and I am comfortable to speak to them . It is 2200 sq. ft. in area so lot needs to be done in next 2 months . It is both exciting as well as intimidating . Hope everything goes well..…wish us good luck  !! :)

  1. The butterfly is lovely. All the best with the interior decoration of your new home. I know it can be harrowing....I visited 27 shops before deciding on the modular kitchen I wanted!!! But seven years down the line, I am still in love with it. :)

  16. You have my best wishes for luck with your house fixing. That can be very stressful -- especially when you and your husband are not on exactly the same page. Just remember, it is going to be stunning when it is all done and you are settled in. :)

    And I just LOVE your butterfly! Excellent work!

    Also, oh so long ago I offered a giveaway on my blog and you won! Of course, my lie being as crazy as it it, as soon as I pulled your name I got simply swamped at work so I never announced that you had won. Anyway, if you could email me your address information I will pop your stash in the mail --
    just take out all the "*" signs, put the proper @ sign in for the word, and the gaps between characters and you have my email:
