Every cowboy has his sad sad song


Day diez of Project Sew Coz



I like the progress made so far, it gets very exciting when more colours are added. It's coming together. But with a project so big, there are bound to be some mistakes. Like this one below. The section on the left should be a square higher, which means unstitching and redoing it again. 


Also I can't count higher than 10 in Spanish, (stuff learnt in my Spanish 101 lessons are fading fast). I'm not sure how I'll work on this when I start work on the 1st of December either. The deadline has been pushed back to Christmas.

I bought some black thread from Spotlight yesterday, so things are getting exciting, and am feeling more motivated although I've finished whatever TV series I was watching when stitching.

Watching Avatar and stitching used to make my day.

Today's been a really good day.

I can't explain the feeling.

I got my driving license. Really thank God for it, I don't know exactly what happened, it's all a blur right now.

And I also just finished the whole 3 seasons (or books as they call it) of Avatar: the Last Air Bender. It's probably the best cartoon series I've watched. I don't usually like anime, (although my old friends were crazy about all things anime and manga) but I decided to make an exception for this. The funny thing is I started after watching the movie version, which is probably the worst film adaptation of anything ever. It blows my mind how movie makers spend so much money on special effects, yet let neglect the basics of story-telling: plot, character development, etc.

Another thing, I like these shoes:

TOMS shoes

(in navy though)

Your Song

Great song... but am I the only one who finds it odd there's no one else in the video except her? I mean why is there no other main character in the video that the song is supposed to be for?

On my number 1 to watch in 2011 list:


Never Let Me Go
For the rest of the year there's still Harry Potter, Narnia and The Social Network.
(The rest of the spots on that list are still waiting to be filled)

Day tres of Sew Cozy


My cross-stitching project. It's really big for me, 18"x16" of fabric. It's for my mom's birthday on the 28th of November. Thing is I bought it 3 years ago, but never actually got to it.
The pink thing on the right is a shelf, and the blue is the start of a cupboard.
I know most people won't call this exciting in the least, but I do. But then, I also think cross-stitch is a game of strategy.
Back to work.
