With this.
Can you see what this is?
I've been back to doing my cross-stitch, one that I have put off for more than 2 years! Yeah, you read that right, 2 years! I've started on this not long after Tara was born, but now she is already a toddler and I still have not completed the cross-stitch.
Recently, I took out the half-completed piece of work and started working on it again. So almost every night, I will work on a small portion of the cross-stitch, hoping to complete it soon. I really hope to finish this before Tara turns 3.
But these few days, I'm busy with something else. Yeah, I always pile myself with lots of tasks, and always ended up with some half-completed ones.
I'm now busy with the Amazing Race. Not the real Amazing Race, it's actually one organized by TSL in conjunction with their 2nd birthday (anniversary) celebration. We are supposed to complete a certain layout (LO) by a certain time, upload it onto the forum and if you are the first one, you get to win a consolation prize. And if you are the last one, or you did not follow the rules and instructions of the race, then you will be eliminated. But if you follow through to the last day of the race, you get to win wonderful prizes, sponsored by the ever generous people of Made with Love!
I'm glad to announce that I have won the first consolation!! I managed to be the first to upload my LO at exactly 8pm last night!
I've always work better under pressure. Because, being the super procrastinator, I'm always putting things off and even if I do work on something, I will spend lots of unnecessary time on it. So I actually welcome all these challenges, and even better if they give a time limit to it.
I completed the first LO at 3am. And it's an LO of Tara, on her 2nd birthday party.
Here it is:
I have just completed my LO for the second clue. And I'm able to do it because I'm on medical leave today. Yet again.
Yes, I fell sick again! This time it's the flu bug. Running nose, cough and fever. After I took my medicine last night, I hit the sack from 11pm all the way till 12 plus this afternoon. More than 13 hours of sleep! I woke up feeling weak and super tired, and with a higher fever of 38.2 degrees.
I actually didn't feel like doing the LO, but I don't wish to give up the challenge so early in the race. So I sat myself down at my table and work on it. The second clue, I'm supposed to do an LO about myself. It is so coincidental. I've been wanting to do an LO about myself recently and the past 2 weeks, I've been photo-whoring myself. The reason I haven't start on the LO is because I can't seem to take a picture which I'm satisfied with. With the challenge, I can't choose I guess, so I picked out the best of the lot and scrap on it.
I'm very happy with the end result! I will post it here once I have uploaded on the forum at 9pm tonight. I'm not supposed to reveal the LO anywhere else, or I will be eliminated! I'm so anxious to show off this LO of mine, cos I simply love how it turns out! Minus the photo of myself though.
The race will end next Tuesday, hopefully by then, I will have more chance to blog. Meanwhile, you all take care!
