Cross-Stitch Project: Chinese Wedding Scene 4

Here's another update of my project.  From the looks of it, trying to finish this in 2 months (and I said that 1 month ago) was wishful thinking.

A more realistic timeframe seems to be end of the year.  Hopefully I can finish it by then.

Cross-Stitch Project: Pooh & Piglet

Here's a project that I completed just before I started the Chinese Wedding Scene.

What with work and 2 new kittens, I didn't have as much time to spend on my project. There is some progress but not as much as I hoped.

Here's an update of my Chinese Wedding Scene project.  

Cross-Stitch Project: Chinese Wedding Scene

Yeah! I managed to transfer the pictures from my Nikon Coolpix to my iMac.  Apologies that it's not very well taken.  I'll try to do better next time.  

Here's a picture of my work-in-progress:

And here's a picture of what it's supposed to look like when I'm done with it.

Hopefully I'll get it completed in a couple of months time.  This is not an easy project because the pattern is not very clear.  So I spend a lot of time trying to decipher what the symbols/colors are matched to.  Neither are the backstitching instructions but I'll come to that problem when I actually start to do the back-stitching.  

Cross Stitch Projects

When I went to Shanghai earlier this year, I bought a couple of cross-stitch projects from Cheng Huang Miao (城隍庙).   One is a wedding scene with the characters dressed in ancient Chinese costumes,  the other is a series of opera masks.  I started on the Chinese wedding scene a few weeks ago.

I'll post pictures of my progress once I figure out how to post pictures!

Meanwhile, as I was searching through my cross-stitch stash, I found a couple more UFOs (UnFinished Objects).  Hopefully I can get to them after I have completed the Chinese wedding scene project.
